I stopped by a David’s Tea the other day to pick up a couple of teas for my mom for her birthday. This one appealed to me as it is caffeine free, intended for “glowing” skin and smells like apple pie…all things I knew she would love (she really loved this tea as well as the other one I bought her which was peppermint amour)! Naturally, we both had to try it! When hot, it smells like a warm apple pie or even a hot cup of cider. I was worried that the cinnamon would be too overpowering but it really wasn’t at all. In fact, all of the flavours were quite mild and this resulted in a nice cup of tea. The only complaint I have is that this tea may even be too mild. I would even add cinnamon sticks to this (like with apple cider) to increase the flavour. I can see myself drinking this a lot during the fall as a healthier alternative to apple pies and ciders; the fact that this is supposed to help in the health of hair/skin and to quench thirst is simply a bonus! As I am again using my phone, I can’t rate this tea but would give it an 85.
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
I am a tea fanatic and have also recently made the transition from vegetarian to vegan! I always have tea in my hand and in my overflowing cupboard!
I prefer black, green and white teas. I have recently discovered mate and oolongs. So far I’ve enjoyed them however, I have not tried very many. I am not often a fan of rooibos as I tend to find them overly woody but have found there to be some exceptions. As for herbals, I am only recently beginning to drink these on a regular basis (mostly iced) as the weather gets warmer, but these I am willing to try. I have not yet developped the taste for pu’erh.
I tend to only rate and review the teas I drink once (maybe twice if my opinion REALLY changes; especially if I were to have them prepared a different way). I currently only use Steepster for logging my reviews of David’s Tea although I do drink teas from many different companies. Every time I visit the store, I try something new in a cup to-go as I enjoy going through the tea menu and marking off teas as I try them. My goal is to try them all!
My rating system is as follows:
90-100: Wecome to my permanent collection! (worthy of a 100g tin!)
75-90: Definetly would drink again but maybe not all the time. I would buy a small amount (50g or less) to have once in a while.
50-75: I will finish the cup but not my favourite.
25-50: I will try to finish the cup but may not be able to.
0-25: Not my cup of tea…down the sink we go!
