Perfect tea when you’re feeling under the weather. No caffeine to interfere with the sleep you need. Soothing ingredients. Eucalyptus is a bit of an odd taste. But, sometimes I’m in just the right mood for this tea, so I’m glad I have it in my cupboard. Erik loves it, so perhaps that’s tipping the scale in it’s favor as well. Got this in the Cold Survival Kit I ordered from Davids in November 2014.

Coconut and mint usually don’t go together in my brain. But, that also makes for a very unique taste that I keep reaching for and wishing I had more of. And my boyfriend loves it, so I’m probably going to order a tin. It’s the closest thing we’ve found to replace White Chocolate Frost (which was discontinued much to his dismay.) Also part of the Winter Collection 2014-2015. It’s like an Andes after-dinner mint without the chocolate, sweet but not overly so.

Delicate toasted nuttiness. Too much walnut can make for bitterness, but this blend has just the right amount. Sweet enough to warrant it’s namesake with a long finish of cinnamon at the end. It’s a very enjoyable tea, brews up a nice like golden color. I’d buy it again. I got about 25g in the 2014-15 Winter Collection.

Fruit punch with almonds and spices. Yum! One of my all-time favorites to reach for on cold winter nights. I’m glad Davids keeps bringing this back the last few years. November 2014 Tea of the Month. And this completes my Tea of the Month 2014 collection sipdown. I drank them over a period of about 2 weeks, and reviewed most of them today!

Blueberry and cinnamon. The latter should compliment the former, not be tasted in equal measure. So this blend errs on the side of too much cinnamon I think. But, it was a pleasant sipdown. It made me smile, “like a hug in a cup”. Indeed. I got two cups out of my September 2014 Tea of the Month collection sample, and quite enjoyed it… but not enough to order any more.

I wasn’t expecting to like this tea, and I was surprised by joy! Love this sweet and tart pomegranate blend. Looking forward to a second cup, and ordering some for my cupboard. A very unique fruit punch with a natural taste not overpowered by flavorings. August 2014 Tea of the Month. This is my birthday month tea. So, I’m happy that it brews up hot pink, since pink is my favorite color. :)

A light, fruity herbal, perfect for summer. This tastes like the color pink (if pink had a taste).
I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten dragon fruit. So, I’m not sure if it really tastes like that or not. But, the fruit in this brew reminds me of a juicy star fruit a little, but less tart and with a bit of gentle floral. I love dragons and pink, so this tea is a keeper for me. July 2014 Tea of the Month.

Over-the-top sweetness. The coconut and fruit blended well. Maybe I’m just not in a summer frame of mind today. It’s raining and overcast, and brewing this tea hot just didn’t send me to paradise. It wasn’t bad! It just wasn’t very memorable. But, my boyfriend loves pina coladas so maybe I’ll order some for him. This was June 2014 Tea of the Month.

Love it! Rich, nutty, and sweet. The primary flavors are chocolate, coconut, and black tea and the balance in this blend really strikes a chord with me. A great dessert substitute on days when my sweet tooth wants some attention. May 2014 Tea of the Month.

This blend tasted natural and well-balanced to me (rather than artificial). But, I have other coconut blends. And I’m still in love with my Long Life Oolong. So, I think I’ll skip adding this one to my cupboard for now. It’s a very nice tea though. April in the 2014 Tea of the Month Collection.
