Winterberry Wine

Just a few days ago I discovered David’s Tea at the mall. They had a tea of the day and gave me a sample, it was this tea. The second the tea was in my mouth I was filled with joy and warmth. It’s naturally sweet with a fruity and cinnamon taste that made me think of a winter scene (in a happy way).

I personally let the tea steep for 10 minutes and let it cool before drinking (I feel it tastes a bit sweeter that way). It does say on the label the water temperature must be 98 degrees C, and it does get the flavour out thoroughly.

This is a limited edition holiday tea, so get it while it’s still available!

Oh my goodness this tea was a delight. Definitely the highlight of David’s 2010 Winter Collection.

It was rich, spicy and tasted a bit different each time. And it smells so Christmasy and actually really British.

I will have to go and buy more before it is phased out for the year.

I was drinking this continuously while undergoing a ‘As Time Goes By’ marathon – so the smell of this tea will always remind me of Judi Dench and Jeffery Palmer.

This is a nice cranberry cider drink. Which is not something I usually look for, but I have cider sometimes during the winter season. So it is a welcome addition to my tea cupboard.

The cranberry is not overwhelming, just a nice sweet and tartness to the cider. The spices make this a lot less boring than it could have been. Overall I like it, but it doesn’t really impress me a whole lot because I am not a big fan of cider anyways.

Winterberry Wine had to of been my absolute favorite tea out of the winter 2010 collection.

As long as i didn’t steep it for too long, it was wonderful, such a unique taste.

Great as a right before bed tea.

My last cup of winterberry wine, before my stash ran out, was so sad.

I really hope David’s Tea brings it back.
