Pretty tasty tea. The best part however was that it got rid of a headache and cleared up my sinuses. :D

This tea always smells amazing, all spicy and mysterious. I just wish that it delivered. I have tried different steep times, from my usual two minutes up to a very bitter base, but the flavouring just never steps up. The florals – which I don’t usually like – are almost non-existent. It wasn’t a bad cup, just . . . disappointing.

This tea is a bit underwhelming to me. The dry leaves smell absolutely amazing. It’s a great mix of fruity and floral. Every time I smell it dry I can’t help but think it belongs in a bottle. Something that would be sold in a little boutique perfume shop somewhere. But that’s where the amazing awesomeness ends.

I’ve only ever tried this one hot, perhaps it would made a better iced tea. Somehow the crazy mouth-watering smell just doesn’t make it into my finished cup. All I ever seem to end up with is a muddled cup of black tea with just enough floral flavor to throw the whole thing off. It seems very muted and deflated. It would make amazing potpurri, but as a tea…I just can’t quite get this one right.

I should not have listened to the steeping instructions on the package. 98 degrees is way too hot for green tea. This turned into a bitter mess that didn’t even taste floral. It also tasted very artificial.
I am not even going to rate this because that is just not fair on the tea’s behalf.
I will try another time and rate it.

This brew is much better than the last one when I made it with boiling water and it was a bitter mess.
Colour: warm golden brew
Smell: like sunflowers!
Taste: I definitely picked up on the rose note as well as the black and green teas. The other floral hints were a little lost to me. Somehow, like a couple of other people have mentioned, I got a peach/orange taste. Too me, I didn’t like this because I was expecting it to be floral. I guess I am trying to see, I was hoping it would taste more floral and less peachy. Does that make sense? lol
Still good, but the peachy flavour is a little fake tasting and weird

Darn! A mixture of black and green tea with jasmine and rose blossom.

Amazing. The vegetal sweetness of the green with the acidity of the black tea added with the floral taste of jasmine. Nothing more sweet, creamy and fluent in mouth. :)

Try it, that’s so tasty.

Is it just me or does this smell like peaches?! I checked the ingredients twice and…no peaches! I think its the jasmine as I have noticed the same thing with some of their other teas. This one was really light on flavour but after a while, the flavour seemed to dissapear even more…I only got a 10g bag and will not be re-stocking once that runs out.

So I haven’t had this one recently. I love the scent of this tea. My parents thought I was wearing perfume. The flowery scent is definitely prevalent. I love how it doesn’t get bitter with over-steeping.

So, always a classic with me, I brought it along with me on my family vacation. It was a good companion whilst I was being a ski bum, hiding in the chalet and reading all day. what an awesome day: tea and reading, it`s love!

So this is a tea note from Wednesday January 16. I am behind due to being so busy… but I am catching up. So I had this tea on Wednesday because I think it travels great. That day, we were in my film class wrapping up our first movie and discussing its themes and such. Anyways, three wishes always makes me relaxed and comfortable. So it made my class a good one.

A wishful blend of intrigue and taste.

I really don’t know what to say about this blend, it smell great but when you steep it, it has a different aroma and then when you finally drink it the taste is totally different then what you may expect, well at least that is how it went for me.

Dry this tea has tons of color being a mix of green and black tea’s and then there is jasmine and rose hips it will remind you of the jars of potpourri your parents had. It has a very similar aroma of Buddha’s Blend but with a floral addition, from the rose hips. Steeped it mostly has a rose aroma to it.

The final brew is a bit darker then a green tea but lighter then a black tea, it has a peachy rose taste to it. I found it to be a bit tart without sweetener; however with some raw sugar added it took on a nice flavor. As suggested by the packaging I will have to try this one iced as well. Overall I certainly would drink it again but I don’t know yet if it is a tea I would keep a bunch of on hand.

It was my yummy first thing in the morning tea today. I like to think I don’t like flowery teas, but there are definitely floral notes in here and I enjoy it anyway. Sweet, though it can get a titch bitter if left to steep to long. A lovely tea, really.

Finished up this one today. Steeped approximately 3 minutes at 80 degrees (because I remembered there is green tea!) it was quite nice. This is one of those ones that I enjoy, but get annoyed about because DT recommends boiling water on the label, but that makes it bitter and gross because of the green. It is lightly fruity and flowery, with decent black and green teas behind it. If I ever get my tea stash pared down to 1/4 of it’s size, I would consider keeping this as permanent stock. There is nothing else in my collection that is similar. Glad to have a sipdown though!

Breakfast tea! Luckily, I remembered that this has green tea in it today and didn’t allow the water to boil. The trouble with first thing in the morning tea is that I tend to make one of my favourites, and I forget to actually pay attention. As some of you may have noticed, I rarely drink green tea, or even tea with green in it, so boil away is my default setting! I have a number of really yummy green teas, honestly, but since I rarely have the time to sit and enjoy multiple infusions it seems a waste. I was looking forward to trying out a few good greens and oolongs this weekend, but I’m going to celebrate one of my younger brother’s birthdays and won’t be home all weekend. We’ll see how much tea I end up taking with… : ) Maybe I’ll convert him? My father is a dedicated Red Rose drinker…I intend to try to get at least one cup of loose in him. I’ve tried before though, and it never works.

Anyway, on to the Three Wishes! Nice and yummy, sweet lightly fruity and floral taste. Not much black tea going on in there. I could have heated the water quite a bit more, I think. I just make that up in general. I quite like this tea.

I realized this morning why this always comes out a bit bitter for me – I was too busy following the instructions to actually look in the tea. There’s green tea in here! I was inhaling the scent as usual, when I finally opened my eyes. The base is a mix of black and green tea, so boiling isn’t really the way to go. For shame, David’s Tea!

Anyway, I used water that was NOT boiling and none of that burnt/bitter flavour appeared. Lesson learned – Look at your tea!!

Mmm, morning. Very nice with peanut butter on toast.

If I had just one more wish, I would wish…

Sometimes, the only thing that can save a bad day is a cup of this tea. And on a good day, this makes everything just right.

I love it! So yummy!!!!

I can drink this one straight up as it is without any additions!

Sadly, got this as a sample. I might just go get myself a larger size of this!

Lovely! Full of flowers, but doesn’t taste perfume-y. Gets bitter if steeped for too long. I’d serve this if I was having grown-ups over for afternoon tea. Mild & pleasant & different. Not my usual thing when it comes to tea, but nice enough for something different.

Loved this tea. Its hard to explain the flavour profile, its very floral with the flavours of green tea!

I quite enjoyed this tea.
I was looking for something a little more jasmine, but this tea really hits the spot.
I do have to agree with some comments that it might get a bit oversteeped however.

I like this one better when it’s hot. It’s kind of bland when it’s iced

I’m kinda confused, it doesn’t seem like there should be a fruity smell/taste from the ingredients, but there is a definite peachy taste and smell! It’s quite tasty though, the peachiness is subtle.

Not a fan.
I had this as a cup of tea in the store. I’m not sure if it was the prep, or the levels of sweetener/lack thereof.. but the jasmine was overpowering and the rose did not help. It quickly turned bitter on me and I could not finish the mug.

I’m hesitant to write this one off alltogether, but at the same time I’m not that inclined for a repeat performance.

I didn’t think much of this tea because I my goal was to finish the list by DAVIDsTEA and this one was one I haven’t tried before. I was pleasantly surprised! The jasmine and rose water made this tea sweet tasting. I enjoyed every sip and kept thinking how amazing it was! It’s definitely a recommend!

Absolutely love this tea! Was one of my first ever from Davids, and you can’t go wrong. Perfect almost every time!

I really like this one.

It’s the perfect balance of tea, floral and fruitiness all in one.
Such an exotic taste without being overly sweet like the fruity teas.

It tastes delicious on its own—in fact, I prefer it plain the best, but it also makes an OK latte (I try to make lattes out of everything).

One of my favourites. I need to keep this in stock at all tim es.
