The smell is a little misleading – it smells like a key lime pie! In the blend, the lemongrass really overwhelms any other flavour trying to poke through, though. Maybe I just got a lot of lemongrass in my scoop but I was looking forward to the citrus in this and it didn’t quite deliver – still a good cup though. Any tea with echinacea in it can’t be bad!!

The smell of this one is SO GOOD. Like a mocha chocolate coffee cake or something. I was looking forward to trying this one all day, and then when I brewed it – SALTY. Smelled like broth. Kinda looked like broth. Definitely disappointing. I’ll steep again, maybe I got a dud cup? Blech.

drank Coco Chai Rooibos by DAVIDsTEA

Bleh. Being adventurous and trying more coconut teas as I seem to be ok with David’s coconut for some reason. This one didn’t suit my taste buds at all, though. I’m not sure why I even tried it because in my experience David’s is terrible at chai tea.

drank Alpine Punch by DAVIDsTEA

Definitely not a fan of Alpine Punch hot – cold is much, much better. The coconut doesn’t mesh with the punch – at least not for my tastebuds. I’ve heard this is ridiculously popular so I guess I’m the odd one out… doubt I’ll buy again but I’ll enjoy what’s left in the bag.

drank Banana Split by DAVIDsTEA

I bought 40g of this based on the smell – my gamble paid off, this is great! A “sometimes” tea due to the sugar content but it makes a great dessert tea. The artificial taste is super strong if you steep it too much but it’s still a good cup if you like this type of tea – sweet, chocolatey, and I can barely taste the rooibos base. If you’re a purist this will not be your favourite.

Reminds me of bananas and Nesquick chocolate syrup more than a banana split – that was a staple dessert growing up! Between this and Hard Candy, David’s is reminding me of childhood this summer!

Delightful iced tea! Pretty much exactly as advertised. Love that I can get the black cherry flavour without all the crap that’s in pop. This would probably be excellent as a tea pop.

Iced, this is great! I love grapefruit and this didn’t disappoint. When I get a custom tea in my “$1” mug, it’s usually this or black cherry.

drank Cotton Candy by DAVIDsTEA

Uhhh. So much sugar it goes foggy. It kinda freaked me out. Drank hot and I had to dump it out – the colour is really not appealing and the taste isn’t much better. Iced was better but still – way too much sugar (obviously. I’m not sure what I was expecting). Staying away from this one in the future!

I definitely didn’t give this one as much leaf as I should have so it seemed weak. I loved the notes I got in the flavour though so I can’t wait for a full-strength brew. The super-sweet fruity flavour reminds me of going and buying candy at the rec center as a kid.

drank Echinacea by Higgins & Burke

A great cup of tea. I let the bag steep forever to achieve the perfect strength. I’m trying to work more echinacea into my diet and this tea is a lovely way of getting it in. :)
