drank English Breakfast by DAVIDsTEA
34 tasting notes

I’ve only had bagged English Breakfast teas before, so I saw this and said I’ll try it. It’s very similar to the bags just with the higher quality and better flavour that comes with loose leaf. It’s got a deep flavour similar to that of an earl grey with a bit of a twist. But, it’s just a straight black so nothing extremely flavorful, but still good with breakfast or anytime of the day. Alright straight up, but much more enjoyable with a little milk or cream and a spoon of sugar.

Meh, I don’t think this tea is anything special. It tastes like a bit of orange and the lemongrass is nice. However I don’t think I’ll buy anymore

At first taste the chamomile is there, but afterwards everything else comes in. It’s quite calming then however it has a lot of sweetness that flies in aswell but don’t get me wrong still delicious and great before bed!

drank Vanilla Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

Combining two great things, what could go wrong? Vanilla and Oolong nicely blended together in a sweet and creamy tea. This one could probably kill my vanilla ice cream cravins despite it being hot and without the brain freezes! Another great tea DAVIDsTEA!

Well this sounded great, smelled great, but when i drank it, I was dissapointed in the same way as when drinking forever nuts. The hibuscus just makes it way to strong and bitter regardless of water temp or steep time. I will be a lot more cautious when buying any teas with hibiscus! Therefore, I am witholding a ratin because if you like hibiscus this is great, otherwise it’s a trainwreck.

This one’s a semi-sweet peach delight! The peach is just right, and certainly not overpowering and the yougurt adds a nice sweet touch to it. Quite happy with this one, I’ll most likely supplement my sample with a tin :). It’s like the Long Life Oolong but more relaxed and not as strong and overpowering. One of the ones that’ll be on my shelf constantly. Yummy!
EDIT: Definately got a tin! They also had a fresh arrival when I bought it and it’s just awesome. :)

No matter how short I steep this or how little tea I use, I always end up with this rancidly strong cup of purple. Don’t get me wrong, the colour’s nice but it ends there. I don’t know what it is but I always get it really strong, spicy and gross. I’m not sure if it’s the cinnamon or something else but bleck this is terrible.
EDIT: I think this may be my preference despite the reviews similar to mine, but because of that chance I’m removing the rating and just keeping the review.

Nice! With all these spicy combination and the perfect flavour of the lemongrass it’s like a sweet and sour lemon flavour, almost a hot spicy lemonade. Kind of hard to explain. It’s just this tart and sweet fruity lemon tea, a great addition to any tea collection. Just don;t steep it too long or the lemon takes over!

drank Orange Blossom by DAVIDsTEA

So, I’m pretty much a citrus freak and like teas with a strong citrus taste *and after smelling this it clearly had one) so I grabbed a sample and shortly after tasting it went back and bought a tin! It is a very nice creamy orange flavour and the rooibos is in the back (but not overpowering) making it just perfect. I sometimes add a little sugar because I find it just a tiny bit sour (almost non-existant) and if you’re in a funky mood, add some cream….makes it taste just like a creamsicle!

A nice twist on a great classic. There was not a whole lot of “cream” however there is certainly a smooth creaminess to it. Just like the original, it has a sort-of dark taste, so I still add a bit of sugar but hold off the milk because of the vanilla. Overall, a very nice cream based earl grey. Whether you pick this or plain ol’ earl grey you’ll be all set for tea time!
