Delightfully sweet with a spicy ginger finish! A unique, aromatic white blend. I think 50g of this will be in my next order from DavidsTea. The rosehip compliments the fruit and spice flavors nicely. My only criticism is that the expensive white tea base is overwhelmed by the flavors. This tea was October 2014 Tea of the Month. I bought the 2014 Tea of the Month collection in December with the idea of sipping one on each of the 12 days of Christmas. But, then life got so hectic that I ended up reaching for my old tried and true favorites instead. So, now I get to reflect on 2014’s teas in January instead! This is the second tea I’ve tried from the collection, and so far I’m impressed.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Fruity, Ginger, Pear, Rosehips

Bio

My favorite variety is green tea, but I also enjoy pu’erh, oolong, white, herbal tisanes, rooibos, and certain flavored black teas.

I’ve dabbled with Teavana, Tazo, and Adagio. But DavidsTea is where my love of loose leaf started back in 2009, and their blends are still my favorites. They had a rough year in 2020, but I hope Davids can still bounce back.

In my head, I rate my teas on a 5-star system, so for Steepster I’ve devised the following system:

90 – 100 = “5 stars”
All time favorites and inspired blends

75 – 89 = “4 stars”
Quite enjoyable—would like a 2nd cup! Might order this tea for my cupboard

50 -74 = “3 stars”
Nothing about this tea stands out. It might be an odd or unbalance blend. One cup is enough to satisfy my curiosity.

25 – 49 = “2 stars”
Tolerable, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it again.

0 – 25 = “1 star”
Can’t even finish the first cup
