106 Tasting Notes

85

I just ordered a rainbow tin of this. I like my caffeine in the mornings and early afternoon so I figured this would be a good choice today. I had tried it a long time ago (one of my first loose leaf teas I’ve ever tried) and I remembered enjoying it a lot. Its like a warm spicy hug in a glass. It’s tastes like French toast with cinnamon and cardamom. I even like the hint of lemon as a lingering flavor. I drank it with a little bit of milk and sugar (I usually drink my black teas this way). Loved the creaminess the splash of milk gave it.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Coriander, Lemon

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I haven’t really been into the fruity herbal teas lately but I am really enjoying this one. The last one I tried was Alpine Punch and it was good… but this one is great. It’s really refreshing. I can really taste the raspberry, and I love the tartness the raspberries bring forward. I taste the orange slightly at the beginning. This is on my list of teas I would like to own!

Flavors: Floral, Orange Zest, Raspberry

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Definitely the best straight chamomile I’ve ever had. If I need another night time tea in the future, this would be the one.

drank Fireside Mocha by DAVIDsTEA

This has got to be one of my all time favorites! Tastes exactly like a mocha coffee. I’ve been trying to cut back on coffee… so having a tea like this really helps! The smell is to die for once it’s steeped. I steeped for at least 20 min, and added a pinch of sugar and milk.

Flavors: Apple, Coffee, Creamy, Mocha

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Alpine Punch by DAVIDsTEA

Got this in my advent calendar… I drank this straight with a little bit of sugar. At first I didn’t think it was anything special, but as it started to cool down a bit more I found myself drinking it really fast. Could really taste the almonds, apple and cinnamon. I’d drink it again, just dont know If I’d buy any for myself.

Flavors: Almond, Apple, Cinnamon, Coconut

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Organic Detox by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

I really enjoyed this detox tea, almost as much as I loved the antioxidants in this blend. It’s got a sweet, but almost floral taste. I added a bit of sugar, and no milk ( usually I drink mine with milk). I would buy this again, just because it’s a good detox tea and has a nice taste too.

Flavors: Berries, Hibiscus, Lemongrass

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I was sitting here for a while wondering what I should drink as a good night time tea… and it just occurred to me I had gotten this in Davids Tea advent calendar and had skipped over it because chamomile is like a warm blanket to me… puts me right to sleep. Loving the strong peppermint flavour, and i’m loving how bold the chamomile flavour is as well! It’s got a hint of some floral notes as well. I better get going, wow this night time tea has got valerian root as well… i’ll be sleeping in no time. Glad I put this on my next order, can’t wait, it’s like christmas all over again!

Flavors: Lemongrass, Peppermint

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank S’mores Chai by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

I really enjoyed this tea, although I love any Pu’erh teas!!! This was my second time steeping it… so I knew to steep it longer than they recommend. I steeped it for about 10 mins and added in a little milk and sugar. I love how I can actually taste the graham crackers. I’m not really tasting the “chai” side of it. Either way I really enjoyed it!

Flavors: Cinnamon, Graham Cracker, Marshmallow

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Let It Snow by DAVIDsTEA

I got this one in my Davids Tea advent calendar… yummy! I don’t usually like green teas, but thankfully this one does not taste like one! Tastes exactly like a spiced eggnog, almost like a black tea. I steeped it for about 10 minutes and then added a splash of milk. The milk makes it creamy and amazing! So sad Davids Tea doesn’t sell it on it’s own :(

Flavors: Apple, Butterscotch, Clove, Eggnog

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 g 16 OZ / 473 ML

Bio

Was just introduced to loose leaf tea within the last year. Never thought i’d ever get used to life without coffee! I’ve really been enjoying all the new flavours and different types of teas.. so much to learn and taste!
I usually drink my teas with a little milk and sugar… unless it is a herbal infusion or the ingredients don’t mix well with milk.
Some of my favourites so far are savoury black teas, and I’m always a sucker for anything involving mints or fruits.

90-100: Cupboard staple – will buy when I run out

75-90: I’ll drink what I have, may restock when out

55-75: I’ll drink it, but probably won’t buy it

0-55: Might finish it, might feed it to the sink
