drank Pomegranate Green by Teaopia

I cold brewed this.
I get a little bit of the pomegranate taste but it is a little bit lacking for me. I had to add stevia to perk it up enough. It was ok, but I will not be stocking up on this one.
DAVIDsTEA pom power is way better in my opinion.

drank Goji Green by Teaopia

I made this iced. I am not sure what goji berries taste like, but this is an alright tea.
I am liking the berry taste but I find it a little bland. I think this would need sweetener to perk it up. I don’t like additions in my tea, but maybe I will try some stevia next time.

Iced

drank Fireside S'mores Tea by Teaopia

I really like the look of this tea, the cute little marshmallows and everything looks so neat together, the black, oolong, and white.
This tastes really good. I mostly get the graham cracker like others have mentioned. After that, I get lighter notes of the marshmallow and chocolate.
At first I was really disappointed with the chocolate, I was hoping it would be more chocolatey. But by the end of the cup, I was really enjoying it!
Glad I got this tea.

It’s not easy resisting the dry marshmallows! :P

drank Strawberry Cream by Teaopia

This was pretty good. Smelled delicious in the bag.
Tastes nice and light, mostly of light strawberry flavour. It is a little bit earthy from the rooibos but not overwhelmingly so. I am getting a little hint of the cream. I think a splash of milk will bring out the cream and sweetness a little more.

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec

This was ok. I cold brewed this.
There is good strawberry flavour, but kind of lacking in the kiwi department. It is also a little bit tart. I don’t like to add sugar to teas. But, I guess I could try some stevia next time I make it.

Iced

drank Tropicalia by DAVIDsTEA

Hot, this tastes less like a pina colada than cold brewed.
I mostly get pineapple, with hints of apple and coconut. It is fairly sweet. Something that I probably wouldn’t drink everyday, but nice for a sweet dessert!

drank Lime Gelato by DAVIDsTEA
1184 tasting notes

I used the last of this to cold brew it. This is so refreshing. Smells and tastes like smooth creamy lime. Absolutely no hint of bitterness, and I did not add any sweetener. Next time I cold brew it though, I would use a little warmer water to make sure all those yogurt granule things melt fully. It sits overnight anyway, so it would be cold by morning either way!
Yummy!

Iced

I diluted this with a little bit of Teavivre’s White Peony so it wasn’t so strong. This was MUCH better! The lavender was way too strong before. It is still very floral but not quite so overpowering.
I am not increasing the rating but it is more bearable to drink.
I might try putting this in my bath water. Lavender is so soothing.

I was in a lemon mood tonight….and I have had this for awhile and had not tried it yet. So here goes….
Wowzers, that is lemon. It tastes pretty good, sweeter than I was expecting.
I found this very refreshing and palate cleansing.
Next to try this Cold brewed, I think it would be even more refreshing cold with maybe a little mint!

I got this as a sample with an order a long time ago.
Smells like strong jasmine.
Thankfully, it does not taste as strong. It is not overy perfumed, but it does have that silky mouthfeel. This is not as sweet as other jasmines I have had. I kind of like that this jasmine is more suble in flavour.
Resteep: 4minutes, 85degrees, tastes quite similar to the first steep, slightly weaker
I like this but I don’t think I will restock, there are better jasmines out there.

Bio

Hello,
I am a nurse. I have numerous hobbies: reading, crocheting, crafting, card making, scrapbooking, photography, shopping, and of course drinking TEA!

I started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I went into a DavidsTea for the first time and have been hooked ever since! My favourite is probably white tea, but I also love black and oolong. I also like a nice relaxing rooibos or herbal in the evening. On Sundays, I like to treat myself and make a tea latte.

My favourite flavours are nutty, vanilla, chocolate, jasmine, tropical, fruity, earl grey.
My dislikes are lavender, rose, hibiscus, banana, and straight green or overly vegetal teas.

I am admittedly fairly generous in my rating scale. Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.

Saskatchewan, Canada
