Toasted Walnut

I wasn’t a fan of green tea in the past, but this tea opened my mind to the flavour. It was really good, although had a very strong nutty aroma and taste, I still managed to really enjoy it. :D

Meh. Thought it smelled so good. I was never a fan of green tea and I thought maybe this one would make me change my opinion. But sadly, no. It was just okay. Not the tea’s fault, though.

This has a lovely nutty caramel smell, but all I taste is nuts. I’ll fnish the sample, but I might try mixing this with something that has more flavor.

Nutty earthy, maybe a little bit of coconut. I like how it works with the green, it seems pretty balanced to me. But what I love MOST is that this sample size from David’s has enough for 2 mugs of tea. Sometimes it’s enough for a cup plus a little extra. This one was the right amount so they get extra points for now.

This is 1 of the 2 teas I reach for every morning. I can’t get over the taste of it. Not only is it green tea (which is my favourite) but it has a nutty flavour that brightens my morning. It’s a little sweet and so smooth

I received a 50 g bag of this tea around 10 months ago for free. It smells strongly of almonds. I tried it once, hot, and didn’t like it. Plain, it gets bitter very quickly. So, the bag sat for all of that time without being touched again. Someone recently suggested I try this tea as a latte to use it up. I made it as an eggnog latte and ended up using the entire bag in a day. It is so good that way. Since I’d never drink this tea hot, iced, or any other way, I will not repurchase but it is amazing as an eggnog latte.

One of my favorites from David’s. I love nutty teas and was a little concerned when I saw pineapple in the ingredients because I wondered if maybe it would be too fruity, but I can’t taste the pineapple at all. I can’t really taste any one nut, either. But it tastes like a collection of nuttiness. With a little agave its the perfect tea for all day long! Its warm and comforting. Just be careful not to over steep because it gets bitter quick. Definitely recommend!

What is it with this week? This week has been bonkers, in all directions, from every possible arena!
Mind you, its all worked out alright, and none of it was damaging or upsetting, but it was just a lot this week.
So, nutty tea!
I’m not the worlds #1 of green tea, nor am I on the Walnut Committee, but its been in my sample bowl, and I have sworn to try new teas/ sip teas down.
And you know what? I enjoyed this! It was nutty, without any of the bitterness walnuts sometimes get, and the green tea was mellow and almost creamy. I’m now glad I have a second sample sitting in the bowl, for me to have another cup some time.
Just goes to show you shouldn’t pidgenhole yourself too firmly.

This is nice. A light green tea with a slight nutty flavor with a pinch of pineapple. I’m not sure if it is possible by adjusting brewing times or how much leaf I use but I would like to see the green tea remain light and smooth while increasing the power of the nut and pineapple.

If I’m being honest, I think it’s just me. Unflavored tea I pretty much have down. I can brew it with relatively few problems. But, flavored tea or tea with added bits and ingredients? Those usually give me trouble. Or perhaps I expect more out of them because I see the flavorful bits and get super excited to what flavor they might impart and then get let down because it tends to be weaker than the scent.

Either way, thanks to SuperStarling! for this sample.

This tea has a very round flavor with a subtle base, an initial nutty tang, and a main flavor duo of pineapple and coconut. These flavored are excellent together! The tea leaves a sort of strange texture in my mouth, maybe due to the oil in the nuts—kind of a sticky dry coating. I wouldn’t get this tea again probably, but would be a good occasional tea.
