White Chocolate Frost

White Chocolate Frost is the first tea in my DavidsTea advent calendar this year and the overwhelming flavor is that of peppermint.

The tisane is supposed to have shreds of white chocolate, but aside from a bit of sweetness from the Stevia, I had a hard time detecting the taste of the white chocolate. In the tin, though, the smell of white chocolate mixed with peppermint is quite nice.

The peppercorn flavoring was also very faint — I felt like it could have benefitted from additional peppercorns and less Stevia or no Stevia all together (I prefer my teas and tisanes unsweetened). I enjoy peppermint teas so I did like this one, but I didn’t enjoy the oiliness caused by the white chocolate flakes and the peppermint.

Compared to other peppermint teas like Cocomint Cream, this one has a stronger peppermint flavor that masks the other flavors, but it’s decent for peppermint lovers.

Day 1 of the 2013 DT advent calendar presented me with this! I do enjoy my minty teas, so I was looking forward to giving this one a try. Not as minty as I would like, but not bad for a chilly Sunday afternoon. What I also liked about this one was that there’s enough leaves in my little sample tin for about 3-4 fresh mugs of tea, let alone any re-steepings. Maybe this one will grow on me some more, haha.

Blech! I LOATHE the stevia in this tea!!! Stevia should NOT be added to tea blends… EVER! That being said, if I can get past the sweetness, this tea has a wonderful flavour! The mint is so minty and there is a really nice creaminess too! Unfortunately, I will never ever buy it because it’s too dang sweet!

Tastes just like Candy Cane Lane by Celestial Seasonings. Primarily mint. Was hoping for a more prominent white chocolate taste.

As others before me have already stated:

-stevia in it
-oily

I hate this tea. I really regret buying a hundred grams of it. I bought it as I LOVE white chocolate and peppermint (especially together) but unfortunately with ragweed allergies and stevia being in the ragweed family… It just tastes weird in my mouth and leaves me with a wretched feeling in my stomach.

And it’s….minty. :( So minty that I cannot really taste the white chocolate. Disclaimer: Not a fan of minty teas.

This is one of my new favourite winter teas. At first i thought that the white chocolate would not come through in the flavour but it was to my surprise that the white chocolate stood out throughout the flavour and aroma of the peppermint and peppercorns. This is definitely going to be permanently stocked in my tea cabinet

This is my first Holiday season as a DAVIDsTea customer and decided to take advantage and get both the 2013 Holiday and Winter collections.
The first one I tried out of the Winter Collection.

This one kinda smells and tastes like Mother’s Little Helper, which is one of my favorite teas.
I did enjoy this tea, but didn’t expect the oilyness on the top. I also wish that this had a bit more of the white chocolate taste along with the minty taste.
Other than that, I did enjoy it and would consider restocking.

I bought DavidsTea’s new winter collection, and this has to be one of my favourites! Unlike many teas, the chocolate flavour really comes through, maybe more than the mint. But it gives the mint a creamy taste. Its a very comforting tea to enjoy after dinner, or in the evenings. Give it a try!
