New Tasting Notes

Double cup water, single tsp tea, 4 minute brew, 4 raw sugar

Doubling the water and brewing a shorter time makes this tea a bit more palatable to me. Not as strong, with not so much of an aftertaste.

Last bag!

veeeeery herbal. but, nice.

Delicious! It has a light but very yummy, sort of tart pomegranate taste. As usual with Adagio, the ceylon taste is strong, but I still love this blend. I’ll probably get more next time I restock my tea collection.

This sounded so good when I ordered it. I’m crazy about anything pear, but this… it was a huge disappointment. Even when brewed with twice as much tea as recommended, it still barely has any flavor. And what flavor you do get tastes nothing like pears. The tea itself doesn’t even really smell like pears. When I drank my last cup, there was a kinda unpleasant aftertaste, but mostly I could only taste the sugar I put in it. :(

Light in color but you can smell a hint of mint. The mint taste is a slight more noticeable than the scent. Fairly good.

I really love this tea, but I wish the vanilla taste was stronger. The taste of the ceylon overpowers it. And yet, I probably will keep buying it. :) It’s wonderful to mix with fruity blends. Adds a smooth dimension to any tea.

First of all, this tea smells amazing. When I opened the tin, the room instantly filled with a mouth-watering blueberry scent. But I’m just not a fan of rooibos. It has that odd rooibos aftertaste that I just can’t get used to. Aside from that, though, it’s a great tea. If you’re into flavored rooibos, I’d say to go for it. It brews up a nice shade of magenta.

A bit more spicy than their English Breakfast, but a good breakfast tea. The loose tea is chopped very, very fine and can sometimes pass through the strainer, so a paper filter is recommended over a mesh strainer. Bring water to a boil, remove from heat, wait two minutes, pour water over tea, steep for 4:30, add a dash of milk and enjoy.

One of the more flavorful Davidson’s Teas I have drank recently. You can smell the lemon. Taste the Lemon…but I think it’s the Mango that cuts the Lemon Sourness a little. It’s pretty good if you like a little zing!

Needs to be stirred, which I never do, as a lot of the spices sink to the bottom of the cup. But it’s good.

I only taste the green tea. However, that may be because my package is 2 years old.

It’s steeping right now. It smells like mulch. I took it out of the silken bag and put it in my infuser instead, since their lavender tea opens up so much, but this looks mostly like tea sweepings. Will add more when I taste it.

Oh so smooth.

Great fruity aroma with a perfect hint of the popcorn. Pretty sweet when it hits the back of your mouth, but I like it. Strawberry and apple combine to make the most dominating flavors, but the general fruitiness is smooth and tasty.

A favorite cup. The second infusion was far and away the best. Juicy, soft, grassy and bright.

This has a nice mellow spicy chai flavor to it. Regular chai tends to be too overwhelming for me, especially without milk.

It has a nice flavor, and is very calming. Note to self: Not quite the best tea to drink when trying desperately to stay awake.

Double cup, 4 raw sugar.

Even the smallest quantities of caffeine make me feel like my eyes are popping out of my skull, so I was pleased that this had no such effect. This had a pretty classic black tea taste. Nothing complicated. Just tea.
