This is my first Davidstea purchase. I like to buy tea when I travel, and this is what I chose to purchase and take home. The glitter was a little gimmicky, but I fell for it. It looked so pretty, and the smell was intoxicating. Not too strong, but definitely a fall/Christmas smell. The orange peel was very subtle. Upon steeping, I noticed it is definitely weaker than I thought, and I used the suggested 1.25 tsp. per cup. It is light, fragrant, but the flavour is a bit weak. It does have a sheen to it, and definitely is on the sweet side. I like it – not sure if I would purchase it again, but will use it up this season, that’s for sure.

My friends and I call this one the sparkly tea. I find I taste vanilla more than anything plus the sugar makes it sweet of course but I agree that you definitely don’t taste the orange peel much

Yes, I definitely got the vanilla as well. It was mild though – I’m going to try again with more tea … I was surprised with how light and airy it was for something that smelled much heavier. I love the name Sparkly tea :)

Hi fellow tea lovers … Tara here. I did not grow up on tea, but rather discovered it at a local tea shoppe – definitely not the Lipton tea bags we kept around the house when I was a child. I am excited to find this site and share in all of the wonders that is tea.
