Jessie's Tea

Rooibos Tea by DAVIDsTEA

Worth singing about
We’ll never forget the day Jessie Farrell came into our store looking for lavender tea. The red-headed country star was on a quest. She wanted something comforting, energizing and antioxidant-filled that she could drink all day long. Together, we came up with this pretty blend of lavender, rooibos, coconut and cornflowers. Try it. You’ll understand why she wrote a song about it.

Soothing lavender, sweet coconut, what is there not to like?? the mix could have been overpowering, but it’s not. It’s well balanced and you can easily steep twice. Love flavoured rooibos, it always mixes well.

My favourite caffeine free tea for sure. This tea is delicious; the fragrance of lavender and coconut aren’t that bad either. :)

This is the last of my new teas from my latest DavidsTea run. It has such a distinct scent and flavour. I have never tried anything with lavender before, so I was admittedly a little hesitant about thisinteresting taste experience.

In the end, the lavender mixes very nicely with the stronger coconut and rooibos flavours. There is a lot happening in this cup of tea! The coconut seems to take over the tea nicely in a smooth and refreshing way – I almost expect to crunch down on little white flakes while I’m drinking it. It’s just the right amount of sweet to make it satisfying as a stand-alone treat, without needing to add any milk or sugar (I like my tea straight). I don’t feel as sleepy as everyone else has mentioned, but I am definitely feeling calm and relaxed. I accidentally let it sit for a bit and to my surprise, it even tastes just as good cold.

I don’t know if this is a flavour I would reach for on a regular basis, but it is definitely delicious and would be something I will crave on special occasions. It’s a really nice tea to help finish up writing papers for the evening and unwind before bed.

Hmm I take back my comment about this tea not making me sleepy. Maybe it was just poor timing, but I just woke up from an hour and a half nap after finishing a cup of it. It seemed like one of those days where I wanted a special and unique type of sweet treat, and I immediately knew which tea to reach for…mmm…

…maybe I should restrain from having more today. I can’t afford to take another nap while trying to finish off my end of semester papers.

I needed something to help me sleep during that period. I went looking for lavender. The tea didn’t help me sleep but it was damn good to get me through a night at work! Lavender used to make me sleep but that tea is a booster. While you relax with your mug in your hand, you feel like jumping in the air right after! Once again, if you don’t like coconut, don’t buy this baby. It’s delicious, but the coconut is strong.

I love Jessie’s Tea. I tasted at least 15 different teas from DavidsTea and this is my favourite! It’s calming. It tastes lavender, vanilla and chocolate. Is it too much saying that I can’t live without it? :)

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I didn’t see Jessies delicous lavender tea wasn’t on here yet, so I couldn’t resist grabbing the David’s Tea description and photo and smacking ’er on here!

One of the most calming teas that have met my lips. As usual, I add honey to my tea, and might I say, Jessie’s Tea and honey definitely correspond beautifully. Today I spent about half an hour with my sister and grandma in the centre of the Pine Centre mall drinking the tea and I had not been that calm in ages, it felt like it went surging throughout my entire body, calming every nerve. Ever agitated? Try Jessie’s.

very good, a floral scent, not overly sweet, good to blend with other teas

I actually really enjoy this tea, paired with a little milk makes for a creamy dreamy experience. It is very comforting in the sense that it has an aroma which actually matches the taste of the tea. I usually find that a big problem when tasting tea’s. Overall I rate this tea a 8/10. Awesome.

I love this tea! I had a period where I was completely off of rooibos. There was something about the taste that made me gag so I took a good, 8 or 9 months off of it completely and stuck to black teas, pu’erh’s, mate’s and herbals. Now that I am back to rooibos, I have slowly been going through the ones I hadn’t tried, and also all of the new ones to come out during my break. Jessie’s tea is sweet and soothing. I find the lavender really balances out the coconut, making it relaxing.. I prefer to drink this one mid-day after my caffeinated cup of black tea!

This one needed time to grow on me. The first time I tried it, I thought it tasted like perfume and wrote it off with a snarky, “Jessie can keep it”. But then a mysterious thing happened… I found myself craving the weird, coconut-y lavender flavour of this tea. Like all the time. So I bought a big tin of it, and then it was pretty much the only thing I drank for a solid month, and now I love it. I think Jessie’s Tea and I have a lot in common. We’re both a bit peculiar and may take some time to warm up to. We were bound to hit it off in the end.

I found this tea to be underwhelming considering what I’d heard about it. Cute story on how it was named, but I wasn’t impressed after trying it a few times with what I’d purchased.

I love coconut. I love lavender, and cornflowers and rooibus but I don’t love this tea?!?
And I WANT to but I can’t get over the smell, it reminds me of vomit.
My roommate agrees. David’s can do better I’m attributing the ‘off’ characteristics to sweetened coconut and ‘flavourings’ finding that with DT.

Well I am not going to sing about it, but its a pretty decent tasting tea I was actually surprised a bit. The lavender really sets it off, as most I was worried about this in my tea, but wow I would try another.

Dry this tea is full of color and fragrance it is not only pleasing to look at but to smell. The rooibos adds the contrast against the colorful bits of lavender and cornflower, which provide the amazing aroma. Steeping the tea will fill the air with a noticeable lavender smell that is far from overpowering.

The final brew is a reddish gold color and retains the lavender fragrance from the start, it is quite clear and amazingly there wasn’t many particles coming through my infuser, sometimes this can be an issue with the small pieces in a rooibos tea not just this specific tea. I actually enjoyed the taste of the tea, its not one I would find myself drinking on a regular basis but it certainly is a nice change between my black teas.

AMAZING. It smells like sunscreen (in a good way) and the taste is just wonderful. I find it to be quite mild, the lavender isn’t too overwhelming. I always hated coconut until I tried this tea. One of my all time favourites.

Mmm, just tried this sample even though I was leery about the Lavender. As a scent I’m not usually a fan. But the coconut makes this delightful. Probably helped that I under steeped it to minimize the flowery-ness

This is not half bad. I was expecting worse, as this is a rooibos tea, and not a lot more.

Indeed, it is quite comforting, thanks to the lavender, the rooibos is levelled out respectably. And the coconut gives it a bit of delicious flavor.

Sipping this on a lazy Sunday evening. I usually drink this straight, but tonight I felt like something creamy and comforting so I added a little milk and sugar. It is beyond delicious this way! Brings out the sweetness of the coconut and makes the lavender pop. This is one of my favourites from davids.

This is probably my favourite rooibos blend. This is the first one I go for when I want a tea later in the evening. I love my caffeine, so I tend to go for black or mate blends throughout the day. But when I want something creamy and soothing at night this is perfect.

I love the combo of the sweet coconut with the herbal lavender, and they’re wonderful atop the rooibos & honeybush base. It’s delicious on its own or with a splash of milk and sugar. I’ve yet to try it iced, but I can see it being pretty decent. I will always have this on hand, better than any supposed relaxing tea I’ve tried.

This is one of the best teas I’ve ever had. The lavender and coconut go together perfectly with the rooibos. I find with this one here that you can’t really over steep it, in fact, the longer you steep it the better it tastes.

This will definitely be a staple in my tea cupboard from now on!
