I don’t know, I can’t decide what to think of this one. Maybe I didn’t use enough tea, although I used a tiny bit more than recommended, but this just didn’t taste very tea-like. It had a bit of an artificial strawberry/chocolate/creamy flavor, which was nice, but it just wasn’t that strong. Next time I’ll double the amount of tea. I also found that despite the reviews saying this is pretty sweet, I needed to sweeten it a tad. Granted, I sweeten pretty much everything a little bit, so this isn’t out of the norm for me. I found it sort of weird that the ice cream balls (?) didn’t dissolve completely, I had expected them to be made of mostly sugar, so it was weird when they stayed intact through steeping.
This was alright, and I do want to try it iced. I’ll certainly enjoy what I have left, but wouldn’t repurchase.

I don’t drink tea every day, but I do love tea and trying out different flavours. My favorite is black tea, followed by white and mate teas. I enjoy rooibos and oolongs, but haven’t tried enough of them yet to determine how much I like them compared to other types. I don’t like straight green tea, but if it has a good flavour added to it I can enjoy it quite a lot.
Mostly I drink DavidsTea since its Canadian and they tend to have stronger teas and more interesting flavors than other places I’ve tried. I don’t care for what I’ve tried from Teavana for the most part; their teas seem weak and overpriced in general as far as I can tell. The exception is My Morning Mate, which is incredible.
My city has not a single specialty tea shop, so DavidsTea online ordering is my friend. I highly recommend their Perfect Mug. It really is perfect. Nice thin lip, large hand, larger than average mug without being too big, and I have it in clear so I can see the beautiful colours of my teas as they steep. The strainer that comes with it is my favorite because it doesn’t let any tea through, and its metal and dishwasher safe. Love it.
