DAVIDsTEA

steeped it for longer and at the right temp and it was way better, very cookie like. still not really toffee though…

a bit of spice, a bit of sweet… i would recommend steeping it longer than it recommends. it’s good, but i wish it had more of a brown buttery flavour to really taste like toffee. it’s gingerbread for sure though! and i like it :) i think it would be great with oat milk too

Oh, this is unexpectedly delightful! I have pretty much given up on commercial cherry products after one two many experiences with terrible artificially flavored cherry cough medicines, candies, maraschino cherries, and over sweetened cherry pie fillings. None of them taste nearly as good as fresh or frozen cherries, or dried tart cherries. This also has licorice root, which often ruins a blend for me. But I don’t taste licorice at all here, just perfectly natural sweet-tart cherry bursting across my tongue! Amazing job on this blend! It’s better than I would have dared to hope!

This sounds intriguing – a jasmine green tea with spearmint and sage. I love Nearly Nirvana from Bird & Blend, which has the jasmine and spearmint combination, so I was excited to try this one. However, I don’t taste either jasmine or sage. It’s a very tasty spearmint green tea though, and since I’m a spearmint fan, I found it very refreshing and soothing as an afternoon cuppa. Sweet and fresh!

i wish it was a bit stronger!! but maybe i should steep for longer?? definitely cardamom, not sure about the french toast. still good :)

i like this tea. a nice post-108 treat while i prep for property

was craving a puerh today… steeped it longgg and had it with a splash of oat milk in my penguin mug. really not feeling good about the 108 exam but property will be fine hopefully…

steeped it longer and had it with oat milk and i’m starting to be won over…

hmmm. had it but still making up my mind. had to pay a dollar for a cup since my tea ball was too big for my water bottle. drank it at my tutoring session. bit of snow outside on the ground, not feeling great about this exam season. smelled FANTASTIC but the taste? … i need to make it again properly before I pass judgement.

too lemony for mee

Herbal and Decaf TTB

I opened the box as soon as I got home last night as it had started raining a bit on the last leg of our journey home from visiting family for Thanksgiving. Thankfully the were hadn’t made it to the inside of the box. The baby spent most of the trip sleeping as it was a busy weekend. We made a stop for some Christmas shopping at a store we don’t have near home so we got back pretty late. I wanted to dive right into the box, but knew I shouldn’t stay up for a cup of tea so starting this as a cold brew was the perfect solution!

I really enjoy gin, usually with lime and soda water, so this blend really intrigued me. The juniper scent dominated the dry blend but as soon as the water hit I started smelling bright citrus. The orange is the most prominent flavor which I do not mind at all as it is one of my favorites and the pineapple and juniper add a fun twist. This is a perfect refreshing cold brew! I’m not sure it would be quite the same hot, though I may give it a try just for the sake of curiosity. Definitely a good start to the TTB!

okkk after drinking my custom blend and this i might be becoming a nettle tea fan… its slightly sweet at the very end, fresh in the middle, very light and herby but also kinda earthy? love <3

the first taste you get when you sip it is really unexpected… its almost like a milder neocitran kind of taste and then it settles into the lemongrass and other flavours. i hate neocitran so it reminding me of that is a minus for me.

very wholesome and balanced. drank in bed with a brandy chocolate and a chocolate chip banana bread mini muffin. not too spicy or sweet, just in the middle.

hmm i had high hopes bc it’s very good reviewed… but it was just overpoweringly cinnamon flavoured and not my favourite. drank from my north 49 thermos at my tutoring session while the snow fell right outside.

Very cozy :) I like it more than straight chamomile for sure. I drank it in my black and orange penguin books mug with two pieces of semisweet bakers chocolate on the side. Very herbal, not my favorite herbal tea but the lemongrass I think balances the slightly cloying feel I find chamomile tea to have
