Glitter & Gold

This tea was bought because I needed a few more dollars to get the free shipping from David’s. I am really glad I added it. The cinnamon is really great in it and really comes through well.

Unfortunately I let it sit for awhile before I could finish it and the cinnamon has turned into a really overpowering flavour. Oh well. Guess I won’t drink this one iced.

nice cinnamon tea – maybe i’ll try with Hot Chocolate? hmmmm….

This one was a surprise. I never thought tea could be so delicious while (well, let’s not hide it) glow in the dark. It’s nickname is Cullen’s tea because it sparkles. It’s a cinnamon tea, so if you don’t like cinnamon, avoid it. Although the taste is not strong, it’s still present. It’s also love in a can AND in a mug. When I have lots of study to do and a long evening ahead, I pick this one or Coffee Pu’erh. They are both my comfort tea, if I may say.

I got my hands on this yesterday just so I could put my bill up to the amount needed for a free tote; this was a wise decision.
Side story- I always ask God for more patience for the dumb things people do or the things they do out of being oblivious. Well, yesterday I came home with the beautiful clear glass mug (which was also free :) with the stars on it from DT and I was so excited to brew my Glitter & Gold in it and just enjoy it. I brought it in to show to it to my roommate and since I didn’t say anything she took it from me because she thought I made to for her. I was actually able to smile at her and say thank you when she said i was the sweetest and I just went back in the kitchen and made myself another cup and laughed at myself the whole time. -story over.
That being said, this was really good, nothing else needs to be said other than that this tea brewed and had a perfect balance of every flavor listed on the ingredient list :)

Ahhh! The glitter is so pretty!
I loved the taste of this tea and really enjoyed it overall.
I don’t usually sweeten my teas and I didn’t feel like I needed to at all!
Very yummy and awesome!

I have wanted to try this tea for a while given that the ingredients sound like something I would like. I’m a straight tea fan, so I figured this would be straight tea with a bit of “oomph”. With that, I wasn’t disappointed. However, I was hoping that this tea would be more. When I drink a flavoured black, it needs to “sing” a bit – it needs to justify it’s existence beyond a straight black tea (which I was drinking exclusively prior to February). This one just doesn’t make the cut. It’s a nice, solid tea. I’ll finish my sample. But it’s just “meh”. Very pretty to look at though!

I was at the store and thought the name was interesting so I asked to smell it and ended up buying a 25g pouch. When I came home and made this tea (and later the other one I had bought, organic Stormy Night) I fell in love! My only regret was that I had bought 25g instead of going for the tin. I ended up giving the tin of SN to my mom and buying myself a tin of this when I ran low. This has been my go-to black tea since just after Christmas.

As a bonus, it shimmers. Shiny.

This is easily one of my most favourite teas. I’ve refilled my tin so many times now that I’ve lost count. I reccomend this tea if you feel like having a bit of whimsical in your life _ The spices and vanilla tastes are lovely in this black tea :D

I love it! Its so warm and sugary and makes me feel so happy! The glitter in it makes it look so pretty when the dry leaves are already so beautiful. I found the smell wayyy to sweet but once i tasted it, it was a really nice balance :)

First tried it in my David’s Tea advent calendar and I fell in love. Creamy and sparkly, what could be better?! Just purchased it online and can’t wait to get it!
