I received a sample of this in my recent DAVIDsTEA order. I’m glad I only received a sample and didn’t purchase a bag of it because it’s only ok. It is very bland. I had to add sweetener and some milk to it. I mostly get cinnamon and chile and a very light chocolate but it’s mostly covered up by the spice. It’s not bad, it’s just not really my taste. Also, it produces a rather murky cup. I used the full 5 gram sample and steeped for 5 minutes.

While I wouldn’t purchase, the chile has been very successful in clearing my sinuses.

I wasn’t terribly impressed with this one either, but it’s nice to hear that it can be helpful to clear sinuses :)

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:

Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener

Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
