Midsummer Night's Dream

Not a great flavour

Smells fantastic, citrus-y and a little minty. Tasted the same, it was a great afternoon tea. 4/5

A pleasant tisane to have in the evening during summer. I love the sweet, citrusy flavors that seem to be the foundation of the tea. There’s also a sweet flavor behind it, which ensures it doesn’t come across as bitter. Overall, a light, refreshing drink for warm summer months.

This is my first tea review ever!
I got this tea as a sample, so I didn’t measure it out- just dumped the whole packet in my strainer.
First when I opened the packet, the smell was amazing. It was fruity, sweet. It reminded me of Jamba Juice’s “Orange Dream Machine”.
As for the taste, I brewed this hot, and to be honest did not match my expectations. It had a little bit of artificial taste, that I couldn’t quite make out. It wasn’t bad, but I don’t think I would be purchasing this again. I am curious how different it will taste as cold though.

Wow, are those big things gooseberries? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like them before. They look like Corn Pops.

The fragrance of the dry mix, the steeped aroma and the flavor are all quite similar. The main flavor I get is grapefruit - weird, because there’s no grapefruit in the ingredients.

But this is fine with me since I’m on a bit of a grapefruit kick. Grapefruit flavored Perrier is a current favorite, as is the watermelon. Actually, the watermelon is to die for. But I digress.

The liquor is a murky, pinkish yellow that reminds me of grapefruit juice as well.

Vive le pamplemousse!

Not much good hot, but iced it can be quite refreshing!

This tea is all right. It has a floral orange thing going on that tasted all right in my mouth but left me with an unpleasant aftertaste. I finished my cup, but I don’t love orange so this will definitely not become one of my favorites.

Report card season is a daunting task. It is long and tiresome and tea is my friend in this entire process. I don’t drink it to keep me awake, but more to keep me focused and to de-stress.

Right now I am sipping away on a warm cup of Midsummer Night’s Dream. It was a 5g sample pack that I had received with an online order. I wanted something a little different and decided to give this one a try rather than venturing off to one of my familiar and favourite teas.

The aroma is comforting both dry and brewed, with hints of summer oranges floating in the air reminding me of laying in the field watching the clouds float by. It brews a lovely yellow hue. Each mouth is uniquely different and I was really surprised by the lingering notes of lemon and less of the orange taste I was expecting.

I will drink this again.

Another keeper found through free samples! I really like this fruit citrus with a hint of lemon.

I received this one as a sample when I ordered my David’s 24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar. (I just want to say, I have been a very good girl and NOT opened the tea advent calendar yet!)

I’m always looking for a good tea for a before bed treat. Something light and caffeine free, without hibiscus or chamomile. I know a lot of people love a nice, soothing cup of chamomile tea in the evening, but the flavor doesn’t appeal to me. This one is nice. It certainly fits my criteria, being both light and caffeine free. I may have under leafed it as the color is quite pale. Then again, it is a fruit infusion, so I shouldn’t expect a lot of color. The flavor is mild. I get a bit of minty burst, followed by a nice fruity taste. I will enjoy having the second cup of this sample, but I don’t believe I will order any more. But I’m really glad to have tried it.
