So I mainly shop Davids as I have one in town and its what first got me into tea about a year ago! I had only recently noticed Teavana and clearly don’t have one near me therefore have never purchased. Well when planning a day trip (about 2 months ago now) I made sure to take note that a Teavana was near and would make my way there to give it a shot. I have to say I LOVE that they have so many samples in store (one thing I wish Davids would add… more samples!!!). Anyways!! I smelt it and i tried it and it was amazing! Alittle sweet, however I remember hearing that Teavana likes to overly sweeten their teas in store. Keeping that in mind and the fact that they had a deal at the time to buy 2 tins of their winter collection teas and a steeper, I was sold!
Fast forward holiday craziness and this being hidden in my cupboard I didn’t open the tin until tonight – face palm – So I opened the tin and made myself and my father a cup. Mmmm delicious. Creamy, chocolate-ly and minty. AND not as sweet as I remember from in store. Nothing needs to be added to this tea what so ever! I was quite pleased! BONUS: My father also enjoyed his cup!
I have to make a side note for those who compare this to DT white chocolate frost. I feel there should be no comparison. In my opinion these two teas are both amazing and for their own reasons. This is a dessert like sweet tea, whereas DTs WCF well it hits the sinuses with a bang because of the peppercorn making it more minty and pepper like, not so much dessert like.
Overall verdict: delicious dessert tea, perfect for a sweet tooth craving :)
Flavors: Cream, Creamy, Mint, White Chocolate
