Buddha's Blend

Green Herbal White Blend by DAVIDsTEA

Heaven can’t wait

We don’t like to brag, but we’re pretty sure we just found the key to achieving nirvana. It’s easier than you might think – you’re actually just a cup away. You start with a fresh, delicate mix of white and green tea. Then you sprinkle in a few jasmine pearls for their sweet, floral perfume. Next, you add the unexpected fruity aroma of some beautiful white hibiscus blossoms. Finally? You sit back, relax and take a sip. Heavenly…

Ingredients: White tea, green tea, jasmine pearls, white hibiscus blossoms.

This tea is great. Expensive yes… but delicious. It is more of the essence of the ingredients. There is also a great after taste where it lingers. It is also not too flowery. Also, it should be noted that the suggested serving was 1 tsp. So for me, it sort of justifies the price… sort of. But it IS delicious! I have .5 oz to start, and am waiting until I get to the bottom of the bag whether or not I would buy more

I really like this white tea blend but it is one of the most delicate blends I’ve had. If its over-steeped or steeped in overly hot water it is ultra bitter. Follow the suggested temp. and time and you too will enjoy this delicate tea.

The smell is incredible, couldn’t wait to try it. After tasting it I’m a bit disappointed… It’s pretty good but does not measure up to the smell, probably drink it again and maybe steep it at a lower temperature.

First time I steeped it per the instructions. It was bitter and pretty near awful. It seems very prone to oversteeping. I’ve taken to steeping for only 2 – 2.5 minutes at a lower temperature – this actually lets me taste the peachy tones to it and it is quite enjoyable.

This smells awesomely peachy. I’m not smelling alot of floral notes here, but that could just be my sense of smell betraying me.

I had an operator-error with the first cup. Do NOT forget about this tea and let it steep for 15 min! Yuck. Very bitter. Down the drain it went. I watched the second infusion like a hawk and stopped it at 3 min exactly.

The peach has faded to a very light scent. It tastes kind of eh. Nothing truly distinctive about it. I’ll finish drinking it, but more to increase my water intake for the day than out of true desire.

I’m not going to rate this yet, as I’m sure the first infusion would have tasted much different if I had treated it properly. I’ll have to try again.

This tea as many other have said is very floral. I find it has a very relaxing scent and that it is probably one of my favorite teas from Davidstea. I usually stick to just one ingredient in my tea but this has changed my mind on it. I would recommend it to any tea connoisseur. It also has a fabulous taste that just plays on the senses.

This tea is fantastic. Simultaneously mellow and flavourful, a great afternoon or evening tea. (Or drink it in the morning, what am I, your mother?) One of my favourites.

I prefer this one hot. It almost smells better than it tastes – a touch bland.

This tea smells great – lovely peach fragrance with a very slight hint of jasmine, so I bought it on impulse when I was at the store. I had high hopes for this tea. Unfortunately the brewed liquor was anemic and a little bitter. I think I may have oversteeped it at 4 min and will try 2 minutes next. I confess the package suggests 82 degrees, and I usually use a hotter temperature (boil water then leave it for 5 min to cool down slightly). I just found it so weak and boring, and after a few sips the peach flavor tasted very artificial.

I will try again and hope it tastes better!

Tasted like bitter water.

Disappointing.
