Discover the power of vanilla and oolong, with a little hint of orange. It’s temptingly rich. We’ve used Pouchong tea leaves, the least oxidized of oolongs. Which means that it’s almost as high in antioxidants as green tea. A lucky thing, because this tea is really quite addictive. Who would have thought that something this smooth and creamy could be so healthy?
Ingredients: Taiwanese pouchong oolong tea, green tea, lemon myrtle, marigolds.
DavidsTea is a Canadian specialty tea and tea accessory retailer based in Montreal, Quebec. It is the largest Canadian-based specialty tea boutique in the country, with its first store having opened in 2008.
This was one of four teas I bought in little pouches from David’s Tea. Sadly, I disliked all four of them and returned them all. The vanilla was obvious, but seemed artificial. I love vanilla with black tea (Mighty Leaf’s “Vanilla Bean” – yum) or with rooibus (local cafe blends a Madagascar Vanilla with Rooibus – yum again), but not with green, at least, not like this. The vanilla and the green tea seemed to need to be separate, imo.
Although this tea is soft and subtle I think it is a great addition to ones tea collection. It is delightfully sweet both hot and chilled. Perfect for those times when you want a light tea with the softness of a green tea without the green tea flavor. I was very happy with my cup and even brewed a second one :)
Well, I had to cut my way into another tin… I couldn’t get the lid to screw off. David’s – I LOVE these tins, but please make sure they work!
Smelling it in the tin, I was curious. I could smell the vanilla and I had high hopes! Buuuuut brewed… it smells like rot. Rotting wood or something. I’m so disappointed. I can’t stand it. I’ve taken a few sips, but I’ll be pouring the rest out. :(
This is my day #14 of the David’s Tea “24 Days of Tea” advent calendar.
This tea has been on my shopping list for the longest time and I somehow never seemed to get around to it…until today! I needed a David’sTea pick-me-up and I went straight for this sweet treat. The smell of the leaves is really nice – a hint of vanilla sweetness. Reminded me a bit of Buttered Rum.
I don’t think I made the water hot enough, so I felt like I missed out on the first few hot sips (if that makes sense). It reminds me very much of the Quangzhou Milk Oolong in the same buttery, creamy way, but with a vanilla follow-through. I’m not too sure where the orange/citrus taste is, but I don’t mind.
I’m happy it’s not too overpoweringly vanilla and I think it will be a great dessert tea – especially since it’s thicker than other teas and more satisfying.
I love this tea as a dessert tea. As everyone thus far has said, it is a very smooth almost “buttery” tea (the longer you steep it, the more apparent that flavor is). I find it to be a heavier tea, so I enjoy it in a smaller cup to finish off a meal :) Definitely a favorite, I will buy it again.
