drank Eggnog by DAVIDsTEA
652 tasting notes

I bought a cup of this at the mall while I was walking around with my cute little baby.

Then when I went back, I decided to buy some, because I was pretty impressed with it.
I love eggnog. I thought DT did about the best job you could possibly do in translating something like eggnog to tea form. Considering what tea is – flavoured water.

I wonder if it would have been better as a black tea, something you could add milk to to get more of a creamy note?

But as someone who HATES LOATHES DESPISES normal rooibos, I am pleased to say green rooibos is not so bad. I didn’t notice this at all. Thankfully, no gross hay taste.

Just spices, a creamy note, the white chocolate helps.

I bought 50g and I will enjoy this as a caffeine free holiday treat!

I prefer green rooibos over the red as well. I don’t hate red rooibos, though, as I’ve found several different blends that I actually quite enjoy. But I’d prefer the green over the red … and honeybush over either one of those.

I can’ wait to try this!
And speaking of cute babies, mine is grabbing my hand so I can only type with the other. She wants to draw on my tablet and doesn’t understand why I won’t let her. :P

You can add milk to it, why not?

I had this again last night, just as delicious.

I find the idea of adding milk weird though, it would just make it white, it doesn’t seem like a substantial enough tea to add milk to!

Cavo -Awww! Yeah my baby is constantly after my phone and iPad.

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
