This is a wonderfully creamy tea that tastes quite green, yet distinctly oxidised. The best part about butterfly teas is watching it unravel into beautiful whole leaves in your cup.

Flavors: Cream, Green, Mineral, Sweet, Warm Grass, Tannin

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

This is one of the sweetest peppermints I have tried. It is less “strong menthol” and more “moderate peppermint with a sweet finish.”

Flavors: Mint, Peppermint

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 45 sec 15 OZ / 450 ML

This isn’t the best chamomile I’ve tried, but it isn’t bad either. It is a pretty standard, basic chamomile.

Flavors: Dry Grass, Flowers, Lemon

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 45 sec 27 OZ / 800 ML

This tea was surprisingly pleasant for a bagged tea. I oversteeped it slightly (about 7 minutes) and it turned into a very strong, but not bitter/astringent, brew. This tastes like a plain English Breakfast tea: strong flavours of black tea, tannins, slightly malty.

Flavors: Malt, Tannin, Tea

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 19 OZ / 550 ML

drank Serenity Now by DAVIDsTEA
2958 tasting notes

I just tried a cup of this today because I felt like trying something new. It tastes of herbs, dried flowers, and fruit. I can taste hibiscus (but it isn’t a sour tisane overall), lavender, chamomile, rose, lavender, and something fruity. I’m not sure what sort of fruit, but it tastes like it belongs in a herbal tisane or granola bar. I like the mild sweetness from the fruit; this makes for a fine iced or hot tea.

Flavors: Dried Fruit, Flowers, Fruity, Herbs, Lavender, Rose, Sweet

Preparation
Iced 6 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 19 OZ / 550 ML

drank Jolly Jellybean by DAVIDsTEA
2958 tasting notes

So I just had to try this, because it is the most ridiculous sounding blend I’ve ever heard of. I was surprised to find it actually sounds good. I can taste fruit (coconut, pineapple, maybe blueberry. I like the coconut in this one. Sometimes I find the coconut David’s Tea uses tastes soapy or overpowers the blend, but this one has a nice balance. The rooibos brings a nice sweetness to balance the acidic fruits. Unfortunately I did not get any jellybeans in my 100g.

Flavors: Coconut, Fruity, Pineapple, Rooibos, Sweet

Preparation
Iced 8 min or more 1 tsp 24 OZ / 700 ML

drank Caramel Corn by DAVIDsTEA

I’m a big fan of sweet desserty tisanes, so I enjoyed this. It smells like caramel and spices, and tastes even better. I taste popcorn, cinnamon, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, apple, and mulled cider.

Flavors: Apple, Caramel, Cinnamon, Coconut, Popcorn, Spices, Sweet

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
