This one was just OK for me. I tried it in store and will not be buying any. It is really sweet and is what I would call a desert tea. I’m not a huge fan of roibos teas in general and this one didnt sway me.

This one is really sweet and tastes alot like maple. I find roibos teas to sometimes be quite woody thats why I was a bit hesitant to try such a sweet flavour with that base. I would definetely classify this as a dessert tea and I find you really have to be in the mood to drink it for it to be good.

I tried this tea quite a while ago in store…If i would have known that there were coffee beans in it, I never would have tried it. I dont drink coffee and dont really want to be drinking it in my tea…thats why I drink tea :p. I definetely wont have it again nor will I be purchasing any.

I tried this tea in store a long time ago…for me, it was a bit bitter. I did finish the cup but I would probably not try it again and will not be stocking up any time soon.

drank Aloha Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA

…Never again! I only got a 10g bag (thank god!) as it smelled really fruity and tropical in the store. This was my first Pu’erh and I am not in any rush to try any more. It was really fishy and like some of the other comments, I also noticed an oily coating on top which was kinda disgusting. I litteraly took one sip and did everything in my power not to spit it out…ewwwww.

drank Three Wishes Tea by DAVIDsTEA

Is it just me or does this smell like peaches?! I checked the ingredients twice and…no peaches! I think its the jasmine as I have noticed the same thing with some of their other teas. This one was really light on flavour but after a while, the flavour seemed to dissapear even more…I only got a 10g bag and will not be re-stocking once that runs out.

This one was just OK for me…I think it may be better as a latte. The cinnamon and chocolate is an interetsting pairing and I dont know if I like it in this tea. For that combination I definetely prefer Cocoa Canela. I would try again but as a latte next time.

drank Salted Caramel by DAVIDsTEA

I picked up 10g of this to try. In the store, I wasnt really sure if I liked it or not but decided to try it. I’m so glad that I did because I love the taste. Its very similar to salt-water taffy. I will definetely be buying more of this soon!

I didnt really like this one the first time I tried it, I found that it had an after taste but after a while it seemed to grow on me. The smell is delicious…definetely a dessert tea!

drank Read My Lips by DAVIDsTEA

This was a tea that I bought my mom for Christmas and naturally, I had to try it (I paid for it :p). The first time I tried it, I didnt really like it. I found it a bit too minty but it grew on me. The other day I acctually tried it as a latte with grated chocolate on top and really liked that. I think it would also be good with a bit of crushed candy cane on top ;).

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!
