87 Tasting Notes
Whenever a best seller is online, it makes me want to purchase some tea. Smelling it from the tin I thought it was really good because of the sweet ginger aroma. Unfortunately this tea was a miss for me. I found that the pu’erh tea was way too overpowering and that I could not taste anything.
Preparation
I was really skeptical about this tea at first. Normally if employees don’t suggest a tea, I question if they like it or not. I bought this only to complete all the teas in the list and WOW was I amazed about how well it tastes. The chocolate and cinnamon really make this tea really delicious. I thought that I was going to not like it because I didn’t like teas with candy/chocolate added to them, but this one definitely changed my mind!
Preparation
The lemony scent from this tea is really different than the artificial lemon smell that we are used to—it was a much lighter scent. When steeped, this tea comes out in a light yellow. When I tasted this tea, I was hit with a very clean lemon taste. I was reminded of cleaners though. The boyfriend likes it.
Preparation
When this tea was tea of the month, I kept going to the sample cup and smelling it. It smelled amazing! I always got the buttery smell of popcorn. I don’t really eat popcorn that much, but I thought it would be a tea that I HAVE TO try. I finally tried it as a to go and it tasted great! I realized that this tea should not follow its instructions. This tea needs to be steeped at 75C. It brings out the buttery-ness and popcorn taste. I only have one more cup of this left. I don’t think I will be repurchasing though. It’s not one of those teas that I absolutely love.
Preparation
I thought this tea was ok. I can pick up this tea from the chinese grocery store because they sell the exact same tea. The smell from the tea was really nice and fragrant, but I can’t taste it too much in the tea itself. Shame though, I thought this tea would be different than the ones I buy from the grocery stores
Preparation
I was recommended this by a staff because I was battling stomach problems that night. I eventually tried it for non stomach problems. It smells absolutely amazing in the bag. I really love the smell of coconut and spices, so I was excited to try it! I was pretty disappointed trying this tea. A lot of what I tasted was grass and a kick from the peppercorns. I tried to make coco chai rooibos with soy milk. It didn’t taste super bad.
I didn’t think much of this tea because I my goal was to finish the list by DAVIDsTEA and this one was one I haven’t tried before. I was pleasantly surprised! The jasmine and rose water made this tea sweet tasting. I enjoyed every sip and kept thinking how amazing it was! It’s definitely a recommend!
I don’t drink alcohol, but the coconut in this tea pulled me in. The mix of flavours does pull out a rum smell and I showed it to an officemate who said it does smell like rum! This would probably have gotten a higher rating if I drank and liked rum. It’s definitely not bad!
