34 Tasting Notes
A creamy treat. I love this rooibos for late nights when I have to spend time online. Tonight I was selling off some MAC treats in order to get some $ for my new addiction – Asian beauty products :)
This light, flavourful, fragrant tea smells and tastes just like a piece of homemade pumpkin cheesecake. I won’t be using this tea much during spring and summer (just around the corner!)
Brews – deep amber brown/red
Fragrance – crisp, pumpkin, squash, sweet
Served hot with milk
Flavors: Butternut Squash, Creamy, Pumpkin, Smooth, Spices
Preparation
This was one of the first teas I’d ever bought from DAVIDsTEA last year. Today was the first time I had tried it. I wasn’t disappointed, although I wouldn’t buy this again.
The smell was light and very grape-y. The colour was amber and the taste was light and refreshing. This would make a good iced tea.
Flavors: Floral, Grapes
Preparation
I was raised on Barry’s tea so this addition to David’s black tea line-up really excited me.
Dry Nose: Sweet, smooth
Liquor: Dark, rich brown
Taste: Heavy, astringent, sweet
Flavors: Astringent, Cream, Smooth, Sweet
Preparation
Picked this up tonight – 4 for $10. A light green tea with citrus notes and a sweet after taste. I think this would make a great infusion for the warmer weather.
Flavors: Cactus Flowers, Lemon, Lime, Pineapple, Sweet
Preparation
This was my gateway tea to DAVIDsTEA. I sampled a brewed cup in-store and fell in love.
I brought some home and followed the Tea Guide’s instructions to make a tea latte. I enjoy this every so often, but lately this tea has fallen wayside in my favourites. The flavour is lacklustre and disappointing. I much prefer Red Velvet Cake for a “dessert” tea.
Flavors: Caramel, Cinnamon, Clove, Creamy, Milk, Smooth
Preparation
A delicious, light and sweet red rooibos infusion.
The caramel smell filled my kitchen and the taste of the tea was a match.
Definitely one of my top 5 from DavidsTea. Served hot with 1 tbsp. milk
Flavors: Caramel, Creamy, Rooibos, Smooth, Sweet
Preparation
I awarded this tea a rating of 50 – because I don’t yet know if I like it or not. I don’t generally like teas with hibiscus as a main ingredient. The smell of the tea is very lemony and has a hint of vanilla. I find the smell to be appealing, but a hint of something pungent exists and turns me off.
The tea is light and the lemon flavour is very present. I also taste something floral. I think I might enjoy this tea served iced rather than hot.
It reminds me of Neo Citran and I think that’s what turns me off.
Flavors: Astringent, Floral, Hibiscus, Lemon, Vanilla
