Popular Tasting Notes

Maybe because it’s grown in the Himalayas, but this tea is very reminiscent of a Darjeeling! The aroma is similar and the notes I pick up the most are like a stronger first flush Darjeeling or light second flush Darjeeling. There’s a pleasant astringency to this tea and it makes a great afternoon cup.

I’m getting a wine-like taste this time.

Not overwhelming, warm with a fresh backdrop

Simple. The ginger is prominent and I feel like this would make a good sick tea.

It’s a good tea, and i usually like it, but for some reason, i didn’t really care for the aftertaste.

Excellent chocolate tea. Who ever knew Chocolate tea could be so good. Excellent as a dessert tea. Add Milk and brown sugar to enhance flavor. Not too chocolaty.

Love this tea! Iced or hot, the citrus is delicious and the flowers are lovely.

The first time I tried this tea, I’ll admit I was slightly disappointed. When you open the tin, it’s got a fantastic (if slightly strong) fruity smell.

Once brewed, it loses a lot of that fragrance and comes up a bit short on flavor.

It does make a nice, light green iced tea in the summer.

Before I discovered the wider world of loose leaf teas available to me, it was always on my shelf. Now I’m trying to use up the tin I have so I can experiment with other options.

If you like Japanese green teas with their more bitter, earthy taste, you’ll enjoy this one. The bitterness and earthiness of the tea are tempered by the puffed rice. It’s a bit odd to see in a tea but fun. It took me a while to get used to Japanese style green teas, but I find them very calming-both mentally and for my stomach.

My favorite cure for homesickness. Constant Comment will forever hold a special place in my heart, as I grew up with its warm and spicy fragrance wafting from my mother and grandmother’s teacups every evening.

My second steeping of this tea was a significant improvement over the first. I reduced both the temperature and the time, resulting in elimination of the unpleasant burnt flavor that ruined my previous pot. Piping hot, the flavor was extremely good; like many blacks, this tea increases in astringency as it cools, which resulted in my last half-cup being quite difficult to swallow, the only negative note in this otherwise very enjoyable pot.

I’ll drink this if nothing else is available. But I would rather have almost any other black tea. This is just not all that great. Still, sometimes when you’re at a convention or a hotel, you take what you can get.

You can definitely taste the mint in this one, and the creaminess of the coconut blends well together with it. It’s refreshing, and very summery, and definitely better iced than it is hot.

Started out not liking this tea but as I get deeper into the cup the blueberry flavoring really comes out. Better cold. I don’t think the blueberry flavor comes out very well when it’s hot. Maybe it would make a good blueberry lemonade?

For the record, this really wasn’t anything at all like the mint tea I actually had in Morocco – that is very very minty and very very very sweet (like “the sugar won’t totally dissolve in your hot cup of tea” sort of sweet).

The gunpowder green tea is an interesting twist on “Moroccan” mint tea, and while I was initially taken aback by the difference, I really like it – its not all about sugar and mint, its about the green tea too. I’ve started loving this on cool fall mornings, but its also amazing as an ice tea when sweetened (moderately). I don’t know if “Moroccan” is the right word, but “good” definitely is.

I prefer most of David’s Tea fruity blends to be cold brewed. They’re just so much better that way. So, I cold brewed this one for my niece, her friend, and myself. I honestly don’t remember how much I used but probably a couple of David’s Tea perfect spoon worth. I kind of winged it. I let it cold brew for about 15 plus hours. And it was perfection. The color itself was beautiful, a deep reddish pink color. The taste was phenomenal, so juicy and refreshing! Forget juice, I’ll just drink this tea!
