drank Cinnaberry by DAVIDsTEA

Got this as one of my teas in the bogo TFF promo (I split this and Gold Rush with a friend) they have going on. Good as a hot tea, very nice smell all brewed up and very cinnamon-y in taste. Smells of berries, but I didn’t get that so much when I tasted it. Still a nice hot tea – not sure if I’d get it again but it was a tastey cup.

Flavors: Berries, Cinnamon, Hibiscus, Tart

drank Chamomile by Lipton

womp womp

My mother bought some of this tea for me in an attempt to buy me a “fancy” tea (she really doesn’t get my tastes in tea), which I appreciate but this is just not that great. Thankfully it was partially saved by adding a lot of honey. I wish I could say exactly what was wrong with it but it was just kind of ..blah.
It’ll do in a pinch, though – so there’s that.

drank Shooting Starfruit by DAVIDsTEA

I bought this one a while back on sale and have only just gotten to taste it. whoops. Anyways, it’s a nice white tea, very fruity considering it’s not very strong. Maybe I should have used more, but it’s still pretty nice! Nothing special, but I would definitely have another cup.

drank Oprah Chai Tea by Teavana

Had this in starbucks yesterday as they were out of “regular” chai tea. It is much more spicier than whatever the regular is and I LOVE it. You can smell it as soon as it starts to brew. Three people nearby asked me what I was drinking because it smelled so good.

drank Toasted Walnut by DAVIDsTEA

I’m not generally a green tea drinker, but I received this one for Christmas and it sounded delicious!
Definitely get the walnut flavour in this tea (and there are HUGE walnut pieces in it – ps they were very tasty hahaha). Nutty and subtly sweet – I will definitely drink this green again!

An oldie but a goodie.
This tea is lovely straight up, but even better with some steamed milk.

drank Cocomint Cream by DAVIDsTEA
55 tasting notes

I got so much tea for Christmas that I just can’t drink it fast enough!
Cocomint cream has a really nice smell to it, definitely mint and coconut but the taste isn’t overwhelmingly minty, it’s just a nice combination of the two. I Usually add some sugar but for me this one doesn’t need it!
Okay I’m halfway through the cup and im going to try it with some sugar and a small splash of cream ( it is called Cocomint cream amiright? Might as well test it out!)
WOW. Okay this is really good. I normally only like milk in chai teas but this is really quite nice! Yep. I’d definitely have it like this again. I’m giving it a rating in between with cream and without cream added.

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Mint

drank Guava Cadabra by DAVIDsTEA
55 tasting notes

Got this bad boy for christmas – let’s see how you fair, guava cadabra!

Alright, one heaping teaspoon of tea in about 300 ml of almost to boiling water. Instructions say 4-7 min steep. 1 minute in and we have a REALLY nice pink colour. (I’m lookin’ at you, beetroot)

Smells the same as it did in the bag, but doesn’t have that weird aftersmell that it did in the pack – as an after taste – which is nice! I can mostly only taste a nice sweet mango and hint of apple. A good tea, and I’d drink it again; but not amazing and I wouldn’t kill to keep it in my cupboard.
(Added a tsp of sugar and it really brought out the fruity flavours; bumping the rating up now)

om nom.

Flavors: Apple, Mango

Not bad hot, but definitely prefer this one iced! Strong cherry flavour.

drank Pineapple Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

I’m discovering that I actually like oolongs! This one was really nice, however the pineapple flavour was really subtle. I added a chunk of fresh pineapple from my fridge actually and it was much better :P

21. Geologist in training. Sometimes world traveler.

I’m new to this tea world – I’ve been an avid coffee drinker until about a year ago. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to tea – I’m a fan of blacks, whites, and fruity herbals. The only thing I can’t do is chocolate in tea.

I am always looking to try new things though so if you have any recommendations (of teas and stores/sites to buy them from) or want to swap, let me know!

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON MY WISH LIST I WILL 100% SWAP WITH YOU! Just shoot me a message!
And if there’s anything I have that you’re dying to try, and I can spare it – again, just ask! :)

I also just started a tea blog, if you want to follow/give criticism go for it! (link down bottom)
