So I don’t like coffee but for some reason when I see coffee flavored things, i get really excited. However, when I drink them and they have the coffee earthiness/bitterness, I find myself disappointed. Unfortunately this tea was no exception. I tried it without sugar and really disliked what I was tasting (though it smelled AMAZING!) because the espresso took over. Today, I took Stacy’s advise and added some pieces of rock sugar and though it has helped to bring out some of the other flavors, this is still too espresso for my taste. Luckily many seem to be a fan so I doubt it would be hard to find someone to take this off my hands.

Oh no! I was a little concerned about this one, because I like ice coffee, but coffee-flavoured things turn me off. I was lucky to really enjoy this though. :)
I felt left out when I didn’t love this tea as much as others seem to. Now I feel better knowing not everyone likes it! :P
Don’t steal my twin from me! :P But BTDubbs, I typically have the exact same reaction with “alcohol” themed/flavoured teas. When I see them, I get crazy excited but often I feel rather let down by ’em.
VariaTea, I also love how coffee and coffee-flavored things smell but HATE the taste. I’ve steered clear of this one so far and this review confirmed that I made the right decision. Thanks!

Except for Niagara Icewine of course which you surprisingly enjoyed.
But, but… We can be tea triplets!
I’m the triplet. :P
@VariaTEA, which shocked me ‘cause I hated McQuarrie’s white Ice Wine blend :P
Roswell, to me this tasted similar which is weird
P.S. VariaTEA I did send you a message earlier :)

I’m really keen to try this and also need a bit of a DAVIDsTEA restock… should I message? ;)
mj, I definitely love how they smell too. This one smells amazing for sure which led me to be that much more disappointed.
Memily, I promised this to someone else but feel free to message and I could potentially be your DAVIDsTEA mule :P
