finished this off tonight and man, too sweet. Dropping the rating a little more because there is just too much sweet going on here for this to be an enjoyable cup. Maybe latte style would work but it’s disappointing to see so much sugar in this.

Final Count: 111

I have a friend who mostly just drinks DAVIDs and she actually made a point to message me about how amazing this is. For her, the sweetness seemed to be a bonus so it should be interesting to see how I feel about it when I eventually get around to trying it.

I do hate when they add their own sugar. L ike I have the time and equipment to brew loose leaf but am unable to sweeten my own drink…? It probably doesn’t hurt that sugar is much heavier than tea (less than 8 oz per cup) and much cheaper (about 1 cent per oz).

@variaTEA – maybe it’s because i haven’t had any sugar in 2 weeks? but man it was over the top.

VariaTEA

Haha that could be it. Though, knowing DAVIDs, it is probably over sweetened.

davids responded on facebook that it’s meant to be over the top. ugh

Kristal

Hm, at least they admitted it was :/. Still though, I was going to purchase this tea and now knowing that it’s over sweetened they lost me.

I broke down yesterday and bought a wee bit to try the next time I bring some milk home and need something milky and sweet.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
