This is such an unusual tea. I knew I’d like it (even if I didn’t love it) because, well, ginger. But I’ve been finding the lighter teas from DAVIDsTEA can be kind of hit-or-miss for me, for some reason. (I think it might be because their lighter teas and herbals often have so much added flavor that I find it overwhelms the taste of the actual tea?) Sure enough, this one falls under the tons-of-added-flavor category, but I still enjoyed it.

It’s very sweet, with a strong artificial pear taste, and a sharp tingle of ginger underneath it. The overall effect reminds me of ginger ale— it even has a sparkling quality to it, somehow! I also tried a cup with some white honey, and that was delicious. I like the second steeping even better (probably because the pear mellows out and the ginger takes over). Overall, I like this one, and I’ll have fun experimenting with it. I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing it—but who knows, sometimes unusual teas like this have a way of growing on me!

Bio

I’m a writer who drinks tea to survive the creative process. A few years ago, I discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I’ve been hoarding all kinds of tea ever since!

My favorite teas change by the day. I usually drink them unsweetened, without milk. I like white and green teas, but I tend to prefer black and oolong these days. Rooibos can be hit-or-miss, same with herbals. (I mostly avoid blends with hibiscus, as I find it too tart, and I’m not a huge mint fan.) But I love when I find a good herbal that I can enjoy when I don’t want caffeine. I’m actively searching for tasty blends with chamomile in them.

I enjoy both flavored and straight teas. Some of my favorite flavors are vanilla, spice, apple, orange, chocolate, and peach. I’m obsessed with ginger. Seriously. I’ve been known to add extra ginger to teas that already have absurd amounts of spice in them. You’ve been warned. ;)
