Midsummer Night's Dream

Fruit Herbal Blend by DAVIDsTEA

Summer love
This citrusy-mint tea is refreshingly magical, with sweet apples, cool spearmint, tart gooseberries, orange oil, and petals of marigold and rose. But before you take a sip, we should probably warn you that it’s a bit of a love potion. For some people, it seems to turn regular summer evenings into dreamlike nights of romance and enchantment. Ice it and see what happens. Caffeine-free.

This tea has a lot going on – and sometimes that just doesn’t work; it can be too much. Looking at the ingredients list for this one, you’d think, “It’ll either fly or it won’t.”

Baby, it flies! Citrusy, fruity, mildly minty, and even flowery, this tea is a real blend of everything you’d imagine a beautiful evening in the garden to be. You know, if it were idyllic when you were out there. It’s very, very well-balanced.

My rating for this doesn’t fly the highest, however, simply because I’m not hugely into fruity teas, and out of all its elements, I would describe this one as predominantly fruity. It’s gorgeous hot or iced, but it’s not among my top faves – if fruity was my thing, however, I think it would be!

The citrus in this tea is amazing, and the cool taste of spearmint really complements this tea well.

I made a pitcher of this iced tea today. My friend said it reminded him of key lime pie :)

Backlogged from last night.

This tisane isn’t too bad, I can smell and taste just about every flavor listed…except the goosberries. I’m sure I smell and taste them but I have no idea what they are supposed to smell or taste like, although I have figured out what they look like. I would say the prominent notes are the apple and the citrus, but as someone else noted, the citrus is more creamsicle-like.

Citrus, creamy, floral, minty and sweet. I’m really enjoying this tonight and am bumping up the rating a bit. I will have to end up getting more and trying it iced.

I was hoping for “creamsicle” orange and mint – mostly just some tart taste (hibiscus? gooseberries?). Strong enough, but I’m not a fruity tea person. Meh.

LOVE LOVE this tea.
This is the discerning tea addict’s lemonade.

If you are a citrus addict like I am a citrus addict then you’ll love this tea.
the hint of mint just adds that extra magic that makes this a totally unique experience.
perfect for cleansing taste buds and after heavy meals.

the more I drank the more I loved it.
Want to try it iced and in Popsicle form.

This is definitely going to be a staple tea for me.

I didn’t get the “creamsicle” taste that everyone is raving about – I wish I did. I really wanted to like this tea but I just got a sour floral taste with it. I’ll try it iced next time but it just didn’t make it onto my favourites list.

I like to make sure there’s loads of apple and gooseberries in my steeper when I make this.

I much prefer it iced to hot, but the blend of fruit and the orange oil along with the mint makes this a clean tasting tea that doesn’t need to be sweetened. Delish.

Went to DavidsTea today to pick up some wintergreen woods and ended up taking a cup of tea to go. I tried this one because I thought it smelled delicious and Id heard good things about it. When I drank it though it was a bit of a different story…
so does anyone think this even tastes like tea? To me it tasted like watered down juice from concentrate. Orange or tropical punch maybe. Or hot vitamin water. I mean, it was good I guess but…. not something I want to drink if I’m in the mood for tea (I’d really rather the cold vitamin water I think).
I think if I ever tried this tea again it would be iced.

My sis told me she’s addicted to this tea – so I gave it a shot and bought 30grams.

Annnnd… uggggg. It’s very orangey, which is fine I like citrus and minty on their own, but together it was pretty weird. A bit of “you brushed your teeth not too long ago and then ate an orange” effect. It is refreshing, but just doesn’t do it for me.

Refreshing and delicious. I love the citrus flavour and a bit of vanilla-like depth to it. A summer staple.

The smell of this tea is incredible, the citrus notes really come through, my friend said it smelled like “tea candy”

Yet when I steep it, I find it quite light on the taste and I crave a little more

Iced, it stands up, but doesn’t really offer anything special

Verdict: It doesn’t quite live up to the smell

My new favourite! I love the interesting combo of refreshing mint, citrus & berries. Delicious hot and even better cold! David, you hit this one out of the park

When I opened the bag for the first time I was not liking the strong citrus scent. It’s quite overpowering until you brew it. Then it becomes mellow and delicious! I bought 100 grams of this and it probably won’t last me long considering how tasty this tea is. You can really taste the goosberries and citrus, and there is a slight creaminess to it that blends well with the mint. I have been leaving the tea in while I drink it and it doesn’t turn bitter. In fact, the taste really gets going after steeping it for at least 6 mins. Excellent with agave nectar.

Birthday iced tea, in the rain, in the early morning hours at work.

My one complaint with this tisane is that 100g doesn’t go very far considering how big the chunks are. I think I’ll need to get 200g next time.

I’ve been sacrificing the last of my tin for iced tea. I throw several teaspoons in a 1 litre heat-safe water bottle with hot water and steep it overnight in the fridge (7 or 8 hours). Strain and sweeten in the morning, and try not to drink it all on the drive to work. This tea is slightly sour hot or cold, so I always add a touch of agave nectar however I drink it. There is a mild creaminess when it’s iced. Very delicious!

Tastes way too citrusy. I like citrus, but this felt like you shoved a bunch of lemon and orange peels into the tea. It was very bitter the one I got from the store and I’m not sure if I’ll try it again. I think I’ll stick to my other citrus teas for now.

I’ve had this one both iced and hot, I prefer it hot but it is quite delicious both ways! I am a sucker for the citrusy teas so this one called my name when I read the description. I don’t really have more than that to say unfortunately because it was not over the top fantastic however I quite enjoyed it.

Iced. Very refreshing. Would be good for a hot summer night – hence the name.
