drank Magic Dragon by DAVIDsTEA
11 tasting notes

Having tried a sample of this tea at the store I picked up a small amount to enjoy at home. I absolutely love dragon fruit, so I thought, “Why not?”

I finally had a chance to make a batch of this last night. I used 3 tablespoons and 1.7L of boiling water (as I have when preparing other herbal iced teas) and let it brew overnight.

Again, nothing was added to the tea.

Sadly I’m not loving this tea like I thought I would. The hibiscus is just a little too overwhelming (unlike Pink Flamingo and Guava Cadabra I found that it is quite front and centre rather than being a supporting flavour). There’s also the added rosehip and cornflower petals which is also throwing me off a bit. I don’t believe I’m even tasting any dragon fruit (however, in DT’s defense dragon fruit is a very light and subtle tasting fruit).

It’s not a horrible tea, but I don’t believe I would purchase this one again…unless if someone has any suggestions on how to better prepare this tea? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve enjoyed a cup of tea now and then for many years. It was only when I stumbled upon The Tea Emporium ten years ago that I took a keen interest and began to learn more about this wonderful beverage.

Since then I had been a huge fan of Japanese and Chinese green tea. Recently I decided to broaden my horizons and check out the other types of teas out there. Thanks to DAVIDsTEA I developed a palette for herbal and oolong teas.

I came across this site earlier this year when looking up teas to try. The reviews have been most helpful (and I hope what I post offers some assistance too).

Aside from tea a few other things I enjoy are playing the piano, dancing, skiing, kayaking, shooting some pool and having a night out with my foodie friends.
