I just steeped a sample of Creme Caramel that I picked up yesterday. It smells good…This is the first roibos I acctually enjoyed! Not too woody like many of the others…again, this would be a dessert tea for me and I think that I have to be in the right mood for it but I definetely do enjoy it. Maybe not permanent collection worthy but I would pick some up occasionally to sip a cup or two.

I made this one the other day as a latte…I sprinkled the top with some ground cinnamon and chocolate! (It was amazing)I have yet to try this as a tea but as a latte I would strongly reccomend it…I think the best way to describe it would be as a cinnamon hot chocolate :).

I was pleasently surprised by this one. I really didnt have many expectations but I will definetely finish the 50g bag that is in my overflowing tea cupboard. I am eager to try this iced in the summer as I think it may be equally good if not better!

This tea is really bold and fruity but yet tolerable. I am eager to try this iced in the summer as I think it might actually be better cold than warm. I only got 10g but I would definetely consider picking up some more.

I liked this tea…which really surprised me. The smell is nothing unique and the colour is not the most appealing (kinda murkey grey-green) but the taste is really different…I believe that the taste (and the price) comes mostly from the macadamia nuts. I would drink again but I’m not sure that after my 10g bag is done I will want any more.

This one is really strong and citrusy…I wasnt a fan at all. I found it to be too much and for a calming tea I found that the sourness from the citrus actually woke me up.

I expected more from this tea as I have heard alot about it. The smell and the taste both left alot to be desired. I’m glad I only had a cup to go because I will not be buying any more.

As this one is a best-seller, I decided to give it a try…I only made it one sip into the cup before I had enough. I found the flavour really wierd and it honestly made me sick to my stomach…I will not be trying again.

This is one that you really do have to be in the mood for which is what I find with all the rooibos blends I have had from Davids. The maple is really sweet and is a very strong flavour in the tea along with the rooibos base which I found to be woody.

This one is STRONG! I’m not sure if I like it that much but it is tolerable. I find that in this one, all of the flavours are competing with each other. Firstly theres the lavender which is really bold and that is paired with a rooibos base which, it itself can be strong and woody.

Bio

I am a tea fanatic and have also recently made the transition from vegetarian to vegan! I always have tea in my hand and in my overflowing cupboard!

I prefer black, green and white teas. I have recently discovered mate and oolongs. So far I’ve enjoyed them however, I have not tried very many. I am not often a fan of rooibos as I tend to find them overly woody but have found there to be some exceptions. As for herbals, I am only recently beginning to drink these on a regular basis (mostly iced) as the weather gets warmer, but these I am willing to try. I have not yet developped the taste for pu’erh.

I tend to only rate and review the teas I drink once (maybe twice if my opinion REALLY changes; especially if I were to have them prepared a different way). I currently only use Steepster for logging my reviews of David’s Tea although I do drink teas from many different companies. Every time I visit the store, I try something new in a cup to-go as I enjoy going through the tea menu and marking off teas as I try them. My goal is to try them all!

My rating system is as follows:
90-100: Wecome to my permanent collection! (worthy of a 100g tin!)

75-90: Definetly would drink again but maybe not all the time. I would buy a small amount (50g or less) to have once in a while.

50-75: I will finish the cup but not my favourite.

25-50: I will try to finish the cup but may not be able to.

0-25: Not my cup of tea…down the sink we go!
