Popular Tasting Notes

This is a smokey chai with a bit of a bite. It is always nice to find a new twist on Chai. I like this one a lot.

I am not quire sure how to rate this tea.
The fragrance most certainly is of pleasant nature, even though one might feel inclined of suspecting that cheap lemon myrtle was used instead of lemon essence or zest.
The Sencha itself seems very astringent, very bitter and heavy on its tannins.
The ginger, very frankly speaking, only gets its way through to the taste buds because it is mentioned on the label of the packing. The warming nature of this spice used for this particular blend does not even come close in any way to what is available on the Chinese market. In China Oolong teas flavored with ginger are very popular. Especially during autumn until spring as it is warming the drinker’s throat all the way down to the stomach.
In Japan good quality Sencha is mostly the beverage of choice during breakfast due its awakening nature.
The tea leaves for this blend however fails to lift up the spirits of the drinker and therefore proofs itself to be pointless (…like caffeine- free coffee) to me.

Nice earthy aroma.
Taste is surprisingly full and rich, with nice earthy and malty aromas.

Had been looking forward to try this for a long time. Was disappointed. Have had much better Darjeeling tea.

Having a perfect cup of this right now. Thank you, rock sugar! Thank you, electric water kettle! Thank you, me, for not forgetting it and letting it steep too long.

This one wants to go bitter on you, so do ahere to the guidelines regarding steep time. :) It is gorgeously delicious when done right.

A fairly smooth, somewhat nutty and earthy oolong. I really don’t think it is worth the price, but it’s still a decent basic oolong tea and tastes great when blended with fruity herbal teas.

Very flowery, but that’s pleasant for afternoon. Nuanced, complex, and yes, very flowery.

Honestly, where are the berries? Okay maybe I taste them a little bit. The berry flavor is really slight, practically unnoticeable and it’s only in the aftertaste. Why would they give the tea this name if it can’t live up to it? It basically has no flavour at all, I’m pretty disappointed.

This is a decent jasmine tea, and I do drink a lot of it. The jasmine isn’t too overbearing, and it isn’t too “perfumey”. Since I drink this one at work, it’s a little tough to control the temperature, and it sometimes gets a little too bitter. I would NOT buy this tea full price, it’s a little on the pricey side for it not being my favorite. However, homegoods frequently has it in stock for a good price, so I pick it up there.

I know it’s great for others, but I couldn’t stand the taste of this one.

Had a pitcher pack from DT for this so I made a pitcher of iced tea. Very real strawberry taste. I didn’t add any additional sweetener.

This is the last of my stash of this tea…bummer…oh well…drink it up and on to the next!

Ahh, this was my gateway drug to DAVIDsTEA. A friend at work bought it last winter, and when she brewed it our whole office smelled like warm, chocolatey, spicy delight! She shared it with me, and once I tasted it I was hooked. This tea has a marvellous aroma! The flavour is slightly sweet, with strong notes of chocolate and chilli pepper (surprise!), and a hint of red berry underneath.

I find the top of the cup to be more chocolatey, with an aftertaste of chilli pepper that gets stronger in the mouth as you get lower into the cup. The chilli heat is quite mild – it’s not like drinking, say, ginger tea with cayenne pepper; it likes to sit in the back of the throat rather than burning around the lips and tongue.

I recently bought 100g of this tea so that I can have some at work and some at home for the cool weather to come. I’m sure I’ll need to be stocking up again before too long – Eastern Canada’s winters always feel like they’ll never end, and warming treats like this help to make it feel almost enjoyable. Almost.

From the nose, I am getting a pan-seared scent. The leafs seems to have been over fired, which would give this green an atypical malty attribute (weird, I know). From the taste, there is a distinct butter and nut flavor. The butter is more of an undertone and is hidden behind the subtle “nutiness” and predominate “maltiness.” The nutty flavor could be compared to a chestnut. It is definitely not a common household nut. The tea is light weight with a clean finish.
