Elf Help from DAVIDsTEA

Elf Help

Fruit Green Blend by DAVIDsTEA

Productively festive
Sweet and fruity with a dash of nutty flavour, this green tea is the saviour of elves everywhere. When they’re building to deadline in the workshop, they crave a drink that’s like dessert with a kick of energy. So we made a tea that tastes just like fruitcake in a mug. Add some brandy for the authentic cake experience – those tipsy elves always do.

Wow, wow, wow. Smelling this tea in its tin/bag was absolutely amazing. It was described to me as fruitcake in a cup. Sort of, depending on the fruitcake ha! My mom usually makes her own and it’s close enough.

The flavours came out nice and smooth, sweet and citrusy—which I like. You can pick up on all the added pieces to the tea and overall this tea is one of the best ones I’ve tried. It is adding itself to be on my to buy list!

I love this tea. I loved it since the second I stuck my nose in the tin and, one year later, I am still loving it.

Right now, I’m following a DT suggestion. I added a drop of brandy to my first tiny teacupful to see how Elf Help tastes this way. Here goes nothing!

sips and savours

The brandy enhances the scent, and doesn’t detract from the flavor. This is the first time I have not been completely turned off by alcohol in tea. Huh. I might have to bring this one at at the Christmas party!

And now, off to enjoy the rest of my pot the traditional way. Man, I love this tea…

OK Kay, one exam to go, you can do it!

Today’s companion tea – the wonderfully playful Elf Help. With a little dash of honey, just because. For some reason, I find it to be a tad tart today, not sure what may have gone wrong. Perhaps I should buy some of the new batch. (I’m still finishing off the huge amount I bought last year, just in case…). Yep, I’ll definately do that, so I can ‘vote’ for a tea I love, and because it seems to be the underdog this year compared to Santa’s Secret and Oh Christmas Treat.

I have a feeling my post-exam DT celebrations will be a bit pricey this year…

I am in a desperate fit of procrastination (hence me being on Steepster instead of working on my term paper). At least logging makes my procastination a bit less… useless. Right?

On to the tea (second steep).

First impressions – The loose leaf smells like cranberries, oranges and all things Christmas. Well, minus the turkey. It is a beautiful tea full of color and texture. I would decorate my room in this tea.

Flavor – MMMMMmmmmmm. Love it. While there are plenty of fruits in this tea mix, the fruity aromas are balanced by a strong and slightly bitter green tea. If I really try, I can pick out the orange, cranberry and raisins, but I’d much rather enjoy the wonderful blend that it presents.

Loveability – All of my newly converted to tea friends didn’t understand how Elf Help is part of the winter collection. “But, Kay’s been drinking it all year!”

Please, everyone, buy some so that DT has reason to bring it back every year. Pretty please?

But the flavor wasn’t memorable for me.
