Forever Nuts

Herbal Tea by DAVIDsTEA

For almond lovers
It looks all normal when it’s loose. But steep it and you’ll see that it’s nuts. Within seconds, this tempting jumble of almond slices and chunks, apple bits and cinnamon bark starts turning a crazy shade of pink. Why? Because it contains a hint of beetroot. That’s what gives this rich almond tea its earthy depth and its all-natural signature colour. Deliciously nutty, decidedly addictive.

Ingredients: Apple, almond, cinnamon, beetroot.

This herbal tastes, comforting, a little spicy, and just a bit earthy. It reminds me of fresh baked goods..oatmeal cookies in particular, as others have mentioned. I’m not usually a huge fan of non-caffeinated teas, but this one just makes me happy. It has just enough flavour to avoid being either too watery tasting or too heavy and sweet. I can see myself drinking this at any time of the day or year, but I think it would be particularly soothing on a cool fall afternoon.

I didn’t like this tea at all.
Because it’s a “bestseller”, I thought I’d take a risk with it, not knowing what to expect. Plus the gimmick of it turning pink when steeped was too much for me to resist.

I tried it, and I couldn’t even finish a full mug. I don’t even know what to do with my remaining stash. It had a strange aroma after it was steeped. After taking a few sips, I had to put it down. I don’t think any amount of milk or sugar would improve the taste either. It tasted to me like liquid muffin. What would be the sense in drinking a muffin?!?! It was just too bizarre for me. It also had a very strange after taste.

I don’t think I’ll be touching this tea again. Now I just have to see if any of my co-workers are brave enough to take the rest of my tea…

this tea tastes simply magical.
drinking this tea is like witnessing the birth of a unicorn, and said unicorn looks into your eyes and says it’s first words…and it’s your name. oh and for the purpose of this review, i’m going to say unicorns are born without the horn because…ow oh and i’m also going to say that they’re totally real. totally…

sidenote: forever nuts brews PINK and tastes like an apple pie baked by jesus himself.

I wanted to love this tea. It came highly recommended by a friend.

It does taste like hot apple cider though, and I couldn’t detect the nuts.
It’s pretty good, but I’m not sure that I’ll purchase it again.

There are many other options at David’s Tea that are exceptional. This one? Just scores an okay.

This tastes like an oatmeal muffin that you drink!
Does not need sugar. Milk is a nice addition.

FINALLY!
I left my tin at a friend’s house a MONTH ago and I’ve been without my Forever Nuts since then. I’ve wanted it every single day and I finally have it back. (Of course, after this cup I have enough for one more cup and then it’s off to David’s. What’s that? Just in time for the spring teas, you say? Fortuitous!)
The pinkness makes me so happy when I bring it to my lips. It’s ridiculous. I feel like I’m drinking a princess drink in the best possible way.
It smells like a freshly-baked apple oatmeal muffin and it tastes as amazing as it smells. I can’t pick out any specific tastes (although the dried apples linger nicely), other than “muffin”, but that’s all the description that I require.
Even though this is a tisane, it’s what I chose to get me through tonight’s working blitz. More for the mood than any keeping-me-awakeness.
My mouth is happy. My face is happy. Even my mug is happy.
Thank you, Forever Nuts!

OH, my beloved Forever Nuts!
To my delight and surprise, you were hiding in wait in the little cardboard box sent directly from David’s Tea as a prize for me for entering a Steepster review contest on Twitter. I knew to expect an arrival of tea; I didn’t think to expect an arrival of three of my most favourite teas!
You and your cousins (Cinamon Chai and Orange Pekoe) were nestled all snug and tasty in the little cup-sized box, wrapped in tissue paper. I haven’t been able to find you for AGES in the for-real David’s Tea at Polo Park, so I have been trying to hide my disappointment.
In my haste, I added a little bit too much brown sugar and quite a bit too much whole milk, but you managed to shine through, your absolutely delightful princess pink staining the water and milk alike and your oatmeal-muffin tastiness coming through in smell, taste and happiness.
You make my #1 Mom mug seem even better than it already is and you make my working late into the night seem like nothing.
I love you, Forever Nuts.
Do you love me too?

Forever Nuts came in both the Sweet Indulgences and Caffeine Free sampler sets, so I had plenty to try.

Honestly, I think I preferred Sleigh Ride to this. The slight hint of tart to the apple and cinnamon gave the drink a bit of a kick. Though Forever Nuts certainly brews up to a beautiful coral pink color, I found it mostly a bland and weak baked apple flavor. I’m not big on baked apple goods (blasphemy, I know), so it just didn’t appeal. I tried 1.5 tsp at various steeping times to see if that helped, but a full tablespoon and a good long time resulted in a stronger drink that still didn’t have a ton of flavor to it.

I avoided this tea for so long. And I regret it!

I saw the pink in my friends cup, and since I’m not keen on berry tea, decided to stay away from it. Then I smelled it this morning, and it smelled like almond toffee! I had to try it.

Steeped it smelled like mini doughnuts. Tastes like weak mini doughnuts, spot on. Even the feeling of my mouth after swalling feels cake-y, like I’ve just eaten a mini doughnut. It loses points for the weakness, but this was a pleasant surprise. The hot pink colour is something I enjoy too.

Don’t sweeten this one though, I did thinking it would enhance the doughnut taste but it just made my cup taste like sugar water.

I cannot believe I haven’t written a review for this tea yet! I absolutely ADORE this tea! It is by far more flavourful, nutty, creamy, and smoother than any tea I have ever tasted.

I highly recommend this David’s Tea to anyone and everyone who loves robust flavourful tea’s. One of my favourites for sure.

I GO NUTS FOR FOREVER NUTS!

I don’t exactly know how to describe this to be honest, it’s just very delicious. As a latte i feel like it tastes like strawberry milk! yum!

I was actually disapointed in this tea, I decided to get the starters kit for work anf figured this would be great since its in the top 3 teas. When I took a sniff at the tea thought it smelled amazing but once I poored the water in it and tasted it I thought for the first 3 sips it was an ’’okay’’ tea but after it seemed like something wasn’t right. I was really looking forward this tea.

Disappointed. This is another tea that I don’t think is bad, just not named correctly. I think this should be called apple crumble. It’s heavy on the apple and cinnamon, light on the nut flavor. All in all this is enjoyable to drink but if you are looking for a “nutty” tea, this isn’t it. At least not for me.

My ultimate go-to tea. Subtly sweet and has the natural nutty note. Perfect for a snowy winter afternoon.

Yum! Although there is nothing AmAZiNg!!! about this tea, I really liked it. It smelled delicious when I was lucky enough to a Davids store in Calgary yesterday, the sales gal said people even put this in their granola and I can see it.
It smells like oatmeal cookies, you can tell even from the smell that it will be sweet. The smell is relaxing and comforting. I let it steep over 8 mins and it just kept tasting better. It will probably be one we keep around although like I said there isn’t a huge wow factor – just a really good tisane.
I would recommend this tea to anyone who likes mild herbal teas or cinnamon baked goods. Or anyone who forgets and leaves their teas steeping a longer time than they intended – with this one it wouldn’t matter!

It seems that everyone just loves this tea. However my first time sampling it, i wasn’t impressed. It tasted overly nutty (and i definitely tasted beets, yucky, I want to taste mini donuts! My expectation of this tea was very high and my first experience did not come anywhere near where i thought it would be. However there where some variables. when i tried this tea for the first time. I was working and i heated up some water in a plastic cup, in the mocrowave. I really don’t think the water got nearly hot enough to do the job correctly. I think i might try this one again after my second cup of Mango madness.

I really enjoyed this tea as a sort of dessert. I loved the way it smelled. You could really smell the apple and cinnamon. Yum!

As this one is a best-seller, I decided to give it a try…I only made it one sip into the cup before I had enough. I found the flavour really wierd and it honestly made me sick to my stomach…I will not be trying again.

Am I crazy, or does this tea taste A LOT like Apple Cinnamon Cheerios? It’s still absolutely delicious, don’t get me wrong, but its resemblance to my favourite childhood cereal has me craving it for comfort’s sake.

Try it out!

I like this one. I add a bit of sugar and I sit comfortably to enjoy this little treat. I bought a 100g.

Looks like pink grapefruit juice. The smell reminds me of walking around a food court or theme park with lots of places selling sweets. Taste reminds me of churros mixed with apple cinnamon rolls. I like it.
