I really enjoy this tea. The leaves are tightly wrapped. It haa a taste that is comforting, and hard to describe. The leaves take a while to unfurl, so put some in a clear mug and pour some water in. Resteep several times!

This one was so good. The aroma is intoxicating. Quite tasty.

My new favourite fruity tea. Kind of like a jube jube only better.

Tea was light yellow?

This one tasted like blueberries, although currants are the first ingredient. It waa nice, as I waa looking for flavour to brighten up my day. :)

This one did taste like a candy cane. There are large candy cane pieces in it. It made a tea that was not clear. Good, but I would have preferred a black tea with candy cane flavouring.

I like this tea. I can get three steepings of 3 minutes, for a total of 9 minutes out of it.

The tea brews up yellow and has a warm, strong taste that isn’t too grassy.

In dry form, the tea looks green and is a combination of gunpowder pellets and smaller material. I use a finer sieve when brewing.

3 teaapoons to 250 ml of water.

I was lucky enough to pick this tea up at a discount price. The tea was wrapped and was in a nice reuseable tin. The first thing I noticed was the fragrance, like peach. The tea was a great looking black Ceylon, right away I liked the appearance of it.

I brewed tea using two teaspoons of tea and 400 mL of water for two seperate steeps. The flavour was excellent.

I encourage you to try it.

A few new teas popped up today, and this was one of them. Dry leaf looked good for a sencha, with medium sized flat leaves and prepared in store, so this is a preliminary note.

I used their standard 1 scoop and brewed for 6 minutes. Brewed colour was a good colour. I couldn’t tell too much about the flavour given the amount of tea / water.

I have had their regular sencha, this one should compare nicely. Leaf was edible, though a little on the flavoured side.

I had this in store. I think one of the problems that David’s Tea needs to work on is how much tea they put in a cup. On their own website, they list one to two perfect spoons. In reality, they will only give you one for hot tea.

This one was decent, I liked the hint of spice. It’s no where near a chai. Also, if you read the label, I did wonder why they needed metal oxides. In any case, it was weak because there was not enough tea.

I had this tea prepared for me in store. Two three minute steepings with 1/2 the usual water. The result was a pleasing vanilla taste without any sharpness. There was little complexity.
