VariaTEA drank Cranberry Pear by DAVIDsTEA

6444 tasting notes

I kept sending my stash of this to Roswell Strange because even though I love it, she loves it more so I was always happy to share. However, I think she knew I missed it because she shared some back. Thank you!

It was nice to have this around because even though I probably could have had another glitter chai eggnog latte and been happy with it, I decided against that and went for this instead. This was my favourite tea to have as an eggnog latte when I first discovered eggnog lattes and this doesn’t disappoint. So creamy and fruity and amazing. It’s good to have this back in my stash.

I still have some of that. I am hoarding it, which is silly. But I love this tea not just for the flavor but for the good memories that go with it.

It’s basically the best DT tea that’s ever excited, and you’ll be hard pressed to convince me otherwise :P

And coming from someone who works for the company…that is really saying something

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
