A decent option if you’re looking for a decaff green tea. Sometimes I want a green tea without the caffeine, especially if I’m drinking it in the evening. I bought this tea from my local health food store and was assured that the process in which the tea was decaffeinated was done naturally using the highest standards with complete customer satisfaction in mind. This tea is light and not bitter with a light lemongrass flavour. I like it as an alternative to all my other green teas that have caffeine in them. Not sure if I would repurchase but I would recommend this brand to anyone who is looking for a decaffeinated green tea.

This is a nice, light, smooth green tea with a hint of lemon. It’s been my go-to green tea for awhile now. It’s mild flavour makes it super easy to drink. I don’t find it bitter at all. The lemon adds a little something extra special. Easily found in any grocery store that sells President’s Choice products and the price is reasonable. An added bonus is that it’s also organic. I’ll always have a box of this tea on hand.

drank Snickerdoodle by DAVIDsTEA

I really like this. It’s sweet but not over-the-top sweet. The flavour does remind me of a snickerdoodle cookie. I love the aroma once it’s steeped. It smells really good! Just like a sweet, baked dessert you’d find in a bakery. This is one of those teas that fills the need if you’re craving something sweet but don’t want all the fat and calories. I add a bit of milk in mine to make it taste a bit creamier but I don’t think it’s really necessary, I’m sure it’s just as good with nothing added. This is another one that I’ll want to keep on hand so I can treat myself now and then. I can see serving this to guests and them really loving it too.

drank Chocolate Macaroon by DAVIDsTEA

I enjoyed this. It tasted exactly like how I expected it to, chocolate and coconut. Not too sweet but rather just the right amount of sweetness. I don’t like adding too much to my teas and prefer their natural sweetness so I appreciate that with this tea. When I was drinking it, it seemed like a special treat and I could totally see this being a crowd pleaser. The ratio of chocolate to coconut seems perfect. I’m getting the right amount of both with each sip. Definitely a comforting, dessert type of tea. I wouldn’t drink this one every single day as it seems more like a special treat to me and a little rich for every day consumption but I can see myself always wanting to have some of this on hand for those days that I need a nice, warm hug in the form of a hot tea! Yum!

drank Toasted Walnut by DAVIDsTEA

I was disappointed with this one. I was expecting something a little more flavourful and complex. It just seemed boring to me. On the plus side, it was rich, nutty and earthy and the light coconut flavour was nice. However, It didn’t seem sweet enough for me and was lacking the fruit flavour that I was expecting to be mingled in with the other ingredients. I wouldn’t reach for this tea very often. I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. Just not exciting or special enough for me.

Flavors: Coconut, Earth, Nutty

This tea was an offering from my cousin. He made a teapot full of it. The smell was overwhelmingly fruity. With a name like Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait, I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately I was disappointed, it was just okay. I could taste the strawberry with a little bit of tartness and a whole lot of sweetness. Way too sweet for me, bordering on cloying. It was so sweet that it actually made me feel nauseous. I am not a fan of overly sweet teas. I wish a little more of the rhubarb flavour was present but I had a hard time detecting it from the strong strawberry flavour. It wasn’t offensive or horrible but I wouldn’t run out and buy any for myself. Maybe this would be better iced than it is hot, I’m not sure but it might be worth a try. Definitely not for me but I could see someone with a sweet tooth loving this.

drank Blueberry Jam Organic by DAVIDsTEA
1158 tasting notes

This is lovely. It really does remind me of blueberry jam so they definitely named it right! The smell is of blueberry jam and so is the taste. Albeit a watered down version. It’s not too strong or too sweet which I appreciate as I like a mild tea. I really enjoyed sipping away at this while I was relaxing. I found it comforting in a familiar way. I feel like this tea would be a good base for mixing with other things. It re-steeped well for me and I added a lemon wedge this time. Very nice! Once this one runs out I would consider re-stocking it. A nice tea to have on hand.

drank Green and Fruity by DAVIDsTEA

My very first tasting note! Upon first whiff of this the first thing that comes to mind is Juicy Fruit chewing gum. Upon first sip, same thing! I just had some Juicy Fruit gum yesterday and the taste is definitely similar. The fruitiness is mild which I like as I don’t like strong flavoured teas. I like that this tea is not overly sweet. I can’t handle a sickeningly sweet tea. I enjoyed it hot and cold. Not sure if this is one I’d always have to have on hand but I will enjoy what I have of it. Quite pleasant indeed!

Bio

I’ve been a member of Steepster since 2014 and decided to finally update my ancient Bio now that it’s 2022. (Updating again in 2024!)

I’ve loved tea my entire life, since I was a kid. Starting with Orange Pekoe, then Irish Breakfast, Rosehip, Earl Grey, Green and White and now, I’ll drink or at least try, just about any tea.

One of my favourite things to do is meeting my friends at the coffee shop, sitting and sipping for hours while we chat and laugh and enjoy each other. We try to do this at least once a week or when our work schedules match up. Tea and coffee brings people together!

I live in Ontario, Canada and work at a Winners/Homesense combo store.
I have a 12 year old cat, Tucker, who is diabetic and asthmatic (and completely toothless) but still enjoys his life to the fullest and he truly is the sweetest boy.(Tucker sadly passed away in 2023, one month after he turned 14.)

I don’t always post every single time I drink tea, I’m kind of sporatic that way but I do enjoy reading what you all are drinking and your reviews.

Stay safe and healthy!
