Tea & Cards Travelling teabox
I pulled this one out to give it a shot since i’m always commenting on how much i dislike David’s teas. In the grand scheme of things, while i like that they make it easier for ppl to get in to loose leaf, in the grand scheme of things i’ve never found their flavoured teas to be all that amazing (especially for the price) and their straight blacks have always been….well gross. But, i keep trying them in the hopes that someday..crap work. back to finish in a bit lol
Edit: so anyway…as i was saying. this is another example of how not to do things. I mean CTC’s are not my favourite but this is awful at a 2.5 min steep. i can’t imagine using their FOUR TO SEVEN MINUTE recommendation. this is like stale dark water. i dunno. just ick.

I know, the straight teas from one of the David’s closest to me mostly taste stale.
I guess I don’t find them that expensive, at an average of $6 for 2 oz. I know companies charging $5 for a half oz.
But I don’t drink their straight teas, only their juice stuff :)
i guess when i look at the flavoured teas i can get from some of my favourite places, they’re like 4$ for 50g whereas most of the flavoured i like form david’s are closer to 7 for 50, which is what i spend often on 100g.
Also, i’m equating them with teas that are on the lower/medium (eg. S&V; bayswater..) side of things….there are for sure flavoured and straight teas that are way more expensive, but they are generally teas i would drop into the “higher quality” side of things (butiki?)
David’s>Teavana but i’d still generally rather buy from other places…though david’s teaware is super fun :)
I agree, though I still have a few faves :)
David’s>Adagio for me so far though
agreed whatshesad. i despise adagio. pain in the ass to get to canada and their black base is largely “the suck”
