Popular Tasting Notes

A robust blend of green and black tea, this tea will keep your kicking while warming you up. Although I expected more chestnut and anise, the first taste as a bit astringent without modification. It’s bold, like a stout. With a dash of milk and sweetener though, this loud and strong tea becomes a full-bodied, thick, and caramel consistency that lingers pleasantly on the tongue.

I love the way this tea smells, almost like candy. And then when I had my first sip I was surprised at the tart rhubarb accent to the sweet strawberry taste. A great tea for spring and plan to make a cold brew for the fridge.

Good tea is good.

I believe this is a sample I received from Kiwi in a Christmas swap 2 years ago. A very delayed Thank you! I love mint teas. This was no exception. Mostly I just really love mint. I drink a lot HS Mint Verbena before bed and this was good as well. It was simple and to the point. It made me think I should look into Moroccan Mint teas again. ( Sipdown )

I absolutely love this for iced tea, but it is tasty hot too. Very citrussy and delicious, and will absolutely repurchase.

Delicious green tea

This is my absolute favorite matcha. It’s smooth, creamy, sweet tea without bitterness. I love the rich unami flavour, and it has a little flower aftertaste.

Dry leaf is grassy and hay-like.
steeped leaf vastly different. floral, peachy and slightly earthy

medium+ body with very slight astringency at tip of tongue. sweet round and complete. long finish. highly satisfying
I typically use hotter water than most people suggest for my whites. approx a minute off the boil

Oops — steeped this one a bit too long this time. It wasn’t good. It wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t good. It steeps to perfection quickly, but that also means it oversteeps quickly! Be careful!

So being a lazy college student, I never add milk to my tea, and I never have a problem with the tea I drink. I ran out of tea and snagged some Irish Breakfast from a friend, and did not enjoy the first sip. However, after adding some milk, I found it very enjoyable. There really is a first time for everything.

Earthy rooibos, creamy citrus zest, this is beautiful. The creamy orange isn’t subtle, but it’s not strong enough to label this acidic. This is the closest I can imagine an upscale orangesicle rooibos tea could be, not a cheap artificial flavor kind. Imagining San Diego while drinking this is about right. The smell of the citrus zest almost implies strength, but the creaminess tempers it nicely. It has an almost implied cinnamon note. Husband says it smells like potpourri. He doesn’t like many flavored teas, he’s a classic kind of guy.

Brewed as recommended; 1 rounded teaspoon per cup, steeped 8.5 minutes at 210 degrees.

I just got this for my birthday as I absolutely love Chai. When you open the box all you can smell are the spices. When brewed you can taste a nice balance of all the spices and it lingers nicely on the tongue. I am still playing around with brewing times but I think it will be one of my favorite Chais

Tried this in the DavidsTea 2013 Advent Calendar. A disappointment. Gives off a pungent, rot-like smoky smell both dry and steeping to precede an equally foul-tasting product. Does not marry the flavours of the popular holiday dessert with nearly as much harmony as the real thing. Might be a creative gift for an acquaintance over the holidays who you know loves chocolate oranges, but has received more than their share in stocking stuffers in their lifetime. Spice it up and gift this tea, but do not drink it.
