97 Tasting Notes
Yum! Deliciously tart and sweet, almost like biting into a blueberry. Lovely way to start the morning after breakfast. I do wish I steeped this for longer, as the flavour feels like it could be stronger when it’s not.
I must say I’m impressed, though. I was extremely skeptical about this flavour. I’ve had bad experiences with blueberry in teas before (*cough*Celestial Seasonings*cough*Lipton*cough, cough*) so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this. But sure enough, I’m not left disappointed. I have a feeling this would make a wonderful iced tea.
Preparation
Went and had a cup of this at DT today.
Upon sipping (even after waiting a good 10 mins), I gracefully immediately scalded my mouth hereby ruining any chance of me actually being able to taste anything properly for days. Fun. Besides that, though, what I could get was distinct raspberry notes. Very raspberry. Reminded me a bit of a truffle. Coconut made it’s welcome appearance as well, finishing the sip. Mmm. Tropical.
I’m sure it would have been 10 times as wonderful if my mouth wasn’t numb.
Preparation
I picked up 100g of this at 75% off at Teavana today, thinking I might like this more so than the others I purchased in smaller amounts. The barista there was actually pushing me to get several hundred grams of each of the 7 teas I purchased since the prices were so low and the teas will not be returning once gone. I’m glad I resisted – if I don’t like something I won’t be kicking myself for not spending my money at Davids instead.
So I brewed myself a cup and took a sip…immediately the berry flavor smacks you in the face. I want to say it goes well with the dark chocolate, but it’s just so overbearing! Towards the end of the cup it started to taste bitter, cloying and vile.
This tea definitely needs to be sweetened to be drinkable. Kinda wish I got only 50g now, but I’ll finish it eventually. It’s not THAT bad.
Preparation
I seem to be getting faint cocoa notes and a teensy little bit of almond and raspberry, although it’s not very strong. Maybe I didn’t put enough tea, or didn’t steep it long enough…I’m certainly feeling jumpy though much as I would with a cup of coffee.
As of right now, I’ll finish off what I have, but it’s not a repurchase.
Preparation
This tastes exactly like biting into a gingerbread cookie. I am in heaven! A near exact replica of a dessert without the calories; who would have guessed? I think my love for tea has just expanded even further.
Running back to Teavana today as I’ve seen their sale prices have gone down even further and I wanna pick up a few discontinuing teas before they’re gone. I wish I could’ve known this yesterday, I would’ve gotten some for even less…oh well.
Preparation
Me too! I actually picked up a few today, plus 7 more teas. Now I just need to find more storage space :P
Is this ever sweet! And that’s just how I like my tea :P I do definitely get a cakey icing vibe from drinking this. I’m only a few sips in, but I have a feeling this might become cloyingly sweet fast. Nevertheless…I like it! Probably won’t repurchase it though.
Preparation
Just had a massive haul of about 15 teas from Teavana and Davids. Drinking this right now, and it is beyond delicious. I really taste the hazelnut, and definite cinnamon notes in there as well. Very little fruit flavor, however…makes me wonder why they even put it in?
Preparation
My favourite mug. Found myself in a DavidsTea one day without really intending to and ended up walking out with this – am I ever glad I did! Mine is white and red with a bird design and it’s adorably simplistic. Super easy to clean and my teas have never tasted so good.
