drank Raspberry Jam by DAVIDsTEA
15565 tasting notes

so annoyed that i didn’t notice this tea has chamomile in it. nothing irritates me more than when i use my finum with chamomile. the little bits get stuck and it takes me forever to clean, so i usually use my other infuser. oh well. lesson learned, pay attention!

this one smells mostly of chamomile when brewed – i did shake the bag up, so my teaspoons were balanced… (and yes, apparently i was temporarily chamomile blind when i was cooping ‘cause it didn’t register lol). Raspberry is there, but on the tail end of the sip. Certainly not enough for me to call this raspberry jam! if this came straigh tout of a jam jar, i’d be sad. Jam is INTENSE flavour, full of delicious goodness…this is…more like a chamomile, raspberry tea. oh well. enough to try it one more time. Maybe the second cup will be more jam like.

I was looking at and sniffing this today and thinking. I walked away.

Summer teas are going to be out soon, next week perhaps, and rumour has it that most of them are sweet as heck.

Pura Vida (Green) – Pineapple and coconut

Not so much tempted by any of them, but I open myself up to be surprised

Sil

i smelled them in store, nothing tickles my fancy…pura vida would but it’s a green blend, so i’d rather pick up pina colada from chicago because it’s a fruit tea.

Pina Colada from G tea?

I stop by when I can for steeped samples, so something might surprise me enough to pick up a wee bit, but no sense of urgency. I was under the impression that more new ones are coming out next week, or perhaps I misunderstood.

Sil

pina colada from tea gschwedner…it’s better than the tealish version, but if i wasn’t going to chicago, i’d be picking some up from tealish. i think the summer teas are coming out soon? maybe after they get through mothers days stuff..no real clue. I only ever pick up 10g or so of the new teas from david’s. When i smelled the summer teas, none really spoke to me.

Evol Ving Ness

Thanks. And yeah.

Kristal

Hmm, Glad I didn’t order this blend then. I agree, Sil, ordering 10ish grams at a time from DAVIDs is the way to go with new blends of theirs.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
