Someone gave this to me. I hate creme brulee, but I can appreciate that people who like it may enjoy this tea. The flavoring is a bit much. It’s not my favorite. Rooibos on top of it. Bleh.

I think I like this tea more for the fact that it makes me relax than the actual flavor of it. Wish it was just a bit softer on the mint. 72

Update: tried it again, as I always do. Added a bit of honey and it was SO good. The mint, the lemon grass, the floral notes…Wonderful. 79

Hmm, I’m not too sure how I feel about this one. I like the tart, the flavor is good, but it doesn’t blow me away.

Update: tried it again a couple of times with a bit of sweetener and it is lovely. I upped my score from 72 to 85. I’m getting addicted to it!

Mmmm…a more complex tea, definitelty. Will try it iced next time, I’m sure it will knock my socks off. It is delicious.

drank Birthday Cake by DAVIDsTEA

I try to lose weight but cake gets in the way! Problem solved! This is delicious and fun.

EDIT: Ok, so I had time to get over my initial excitement, and have a few more cups of this tea…II took my time and actually let myself taste it to the fullest. I can definitely understand why people love it, but after tasting Oh Canada, Birthday Cake and Creme Brulee, I can say that they all taste relatively the same. And that is just a big turn off. I thought the odd taste in the Birthday Cake tea was just a fluke, but it is also present in the other ones I listed above. A smoky, harsh flavor that irritates my throat. Must be the rooibos. I no longer care for this one for that reason.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 240 ML

Ok, if you are a coconut lover…BAM! Get ready for some intense coconut flavor. It does taste somewhat artificial, but I still love it! Be careful not to over-steep, because if you do, it ends up tasting like pop corn for some reason.

Flavors: Coconut

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 5 min, 45 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 240 ML

drank Read My Lips by DAVIDsTEA

Tastes like the aftertaste of an after 8 mint (in a good way). Soothes chocolate cravings and is very comforting. Simply love it. I always use more than 1.5 teaspoons though, because it’s just too good to risk a bland cup.

Flavors: Chocolate

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 7 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 250 ML

Profile

Bio

I was introduced to the world of tea after trying to find a way to stop binging on sugar at night (I have a bit of insomnia). Then I had the brilliant idea of going to David’s Tea to get some sweet dessert-y teas to replace all the crap I was eating, whilst still satisfying my sweet tooth.

And then I tried an Oolong and I was done for.

So this is me, exploring the world of tea with excitement, spending way too much money on it, drinking impressive amounts of it, and although I do love flavoured teas, I am now beginning to try high quality straight teas, and trying to learn as much as I can. I have rarely been so passionate about something so quickly.

My boyfriend thinks I am crazy with all my teas. I actually hide some from him when I get deliveries, just so he won’t panic haha. When he does say something, I just reply that to me, tasting tea is like tasting wine, and it brings me the same kind of joy as eating chocolate or eating fine food. Only better.

Flavours I Like: Most fruits, Cinnamon, Licorice, Cloves, Pepper, Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cardamom, Floral Teas, Honey, Coffee, Pastry/Bread, Smoky, Woody

Flavours I dislike: strong vegetal tastes (a little is ok), Rooibos, Mate, Lemon, Raspberry (for the most part), Orange, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Overpowering Mint,

Other than that, un-related to tea, I love make-up artistry, parrots and birds (in real life, not objects lol), crime and trial stories, flowers, baking, wine, reading, collecting teapots and mugs and stand-up comedy.

I love Dexter, Orange is the New Black, Hannibal, all reality food and cooking series…

As I’m re-reading this I can’t help but to notice how I love extra dark things and extra happy things with no real middle. Hm. xD “I like staying up to date on murder trials…and drinking tea while bird watching!” I’m NOT weird, I swear. :)
