DAVIDsTEA Advent Calendar 2021 – Day 1
First day of sipping on DT with Tea with Jann! Jann always does a video for each day of the DT advent, and I loved her videos so much last year that I was inspired to buy this advent! Highly recommend checking her out on YouTube if you haven’t already – she’s such a kind, funny, and genuine person.
Anyway, the tea! This is supposedly a white tea, but really it’s mostly a fruit tisane. I still steeped it as a white tea, just to be safe and avoid bitterness. I used the entire little tinful of leaf, partially because there’s so much fruit in here and partially because I don’t want any leftovers heh heh…
It’s a sort of generic red fruit-like tisane. I definitely don’t taste the white tea at all, and I question the point of it being included at all. It’s not too tart even though there’s hibiscus here, which is nice. I can taste the stevia, but it’s not awful. It does give it a somewhat artificial taste though. Hint of spices but quite subtle – I actually get the spices more in the aroma than the taste.
Anyway, it’s fine. I would like it much better without the stevia though…
Flavors: Apple, Artificial, Cinnamon, Clove, Fruity, Hibiscus, Red Fruits, Stevia, Sweet, Tart

After finding out that you can make a tisane with mistletoe, I’m a little disappointed when a tea with mistletoe in the name doesn’t have it as an ingredient.
This actually does have mistletoe in it, but it’s far down in the list of many ingredients ha ha.
Wow! Can you taste it at all?! That’s awesome!
I don’t think so? Though frankly, I haven’t the slightest idea what it would taste like.
Depends on if it’s pan roasted or green. Pan roasted is almost hojicha like and green is grassy in the way that hits your jaw with a tang and slight sweetness.
