Oh Canada!

I honestly didn’t really care for this tea. When I attempted to drink it without thinking about what was in it, it tasted like plain rooibos, with maybe a hint of Vanilla, but nothing special. It smells sweet, almost like the sweet scent cardboard gives off, and it tasted about the same to me.

Two words, maple syrup. This tea is nothing short of a craving satisfier. Absolutely delicious! I always make sure I’ve got this tea stocked in my cupboard. The aroma is unreal. Tea pairs perfect with a great breakfast of bacon and eggs.

My first DAVIDsTea came from the Caffeine Free Traveling Tea Box and it was delightful! I was very impressed. I got wood and maple, two things I’ve never gotten in a tea. I’m slightly disappointed I didn’t get the leaf pile others mentioned but that’s the caveat of researching a tea before tasting it yourself, I suppose. Regardless, this was very good. Smooth and a good mouth feel. I’d been holding off a buying anything from DAVIDs since they don’t sell samples online. I think I’ll pick some up now!

Yummy! Just like Birthday Cake tea! Makes a great latte!

I’m sorry, but this tea just tastes horrible. I took a few sips and then had to dump the rest out. The maple is very artificial tasting.

Lovely tea, with a strong maple flavor, which works for me, but might be a bit much for some people.

Works nicely with milk/cream, as I find most rooibos do.

Bought 50g of this for part of my boyfriend’s Christmas present and also bought a tin for it. As I was transferring the tea from pouch to tin, I decided to put a cup’s worth aside so I could try it.

I must say…I’m NOT a fan of the dry smell. Reminds me of Buttershots (the liquer)and I’ve had a negative history with that. Still, I really wanted to try it brewed. The brewed smell was quite pleasant and the taste is actually quite delicious and a dead ringer for maple syrup. I made my family taste it- it’s just that incredible. My father, who isn’t a tea drinker, said that he might like to get into tea just based on this one sip!

So all in all, its a good tea. Not one that I would keep on hand, but thats mainly because I’m not that into extremely sweet, “dessert” teas. However, I know that my boyfriend will love it and that’s all that matters. I would definitely enjoy a cup again though :)

Oh Canada is one of my favorites at David’s tea. If you like maple then you will love this tea. It is a winner.

Mapley and super syrupy sweet. Which is great!, because the only reason you would buy this tea is for that flavour. I loveeeeeeeeeee this. I didn’t think I would because I don’t like rooibos. 2 reasons: it never stays inside my tea ball, and there’s that stigma I have about it that’s like ehhhhh, I prefer my greens and my oolongs. But I’m coming along to liking rooibos maybe just because of this. It’s got me singing my national anthem over and over again.

Being a rooibos tea, I (thought I) pretty much knew what Oh Canada! was going to taste like before I tried it.I was pleasantly surprised when I finally did taste it. The maple syrup taste just takes over! It’s great!

They (whoever is the creator of this tea) did a great job and successfully pulled off the perfect maple syrup flavor! My mom is the biggest connoisseur of maple syrup that I know, and even she was satisfied with this tea. So if you are feeling especially patriotic one day, or you just want a sweet fix, drink up!

I have a bone to pick with whoever translated the name of this tea from “Oh Canada!” to “Cabane a Sucre”. The logic….does not exist.
