drank Lime Gelato by DAVIDsTEA
6444 tasting notes

As much as I love DAVIDsTEA, I am usually a little disappointed because the teas smell amazing but the taste and scent never really seem to match. Luckily, Lime Gelato was no disappointment. It smells like key lime pie and tastes just like it smells. I am in love with this flavor and will definitely be buying it again!

you may also find you’ll like the lemon or lime chiffon from della terra if you’re later looking for non caffeine options

I was actually on Della Terra’s website and was really interested in trying both lemon chiffon and lime chiffon. I was planning on getting a few of the sampler boxes but next thing I knew I filled so many of the sampler boxes because of all the teas I wanted to try that the total scared me and I closed down the website to protect my wallet :P. Luckily Dexter is sending me a couple Della Terra teas to try so if I enjoy them I will probably be placing an order with the website soon.

Thank you for the suggestions though because I am always looking for good caffeine free options so that I have teas I can enjoy at any time of the day (since I tend to get disappointed in the evenings as most of my favorites tend to have caffeine).

Caffeine free if youwant flavoured teas Della terra: orange and cream, lime chiffon and then lemon chiffon in that order and from butiki the peppermint patty if you like mint chocolate. I’m not a fan of most of the other Della terra teas….for the time/effort/convenience David’s tea works for me as a similar shop. However the sampler packs from Della terra are good, always wait fora sale….

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
