I have to agree with everyone, at first I tried it as an iced latte and adored it, it was pumpkin spice-ish with the burnt sugar element. However, hot it was rather underwhelming. I think the milk and touch of honey certainly brought out the pumpkin flavor.

I’ve never tried this blend iced or as an iced latte so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it and it tasted like a golden oreo shake! I sweetened the foam a bit with sugar-free vanilla syrup and it was amazing!!

Something about this tea with a bit of milk and a teeny bit of sweetener is just so warm and inviting. It’s perfect for a gloomy, rainy day like today. However, I still very much prefer Toast and Jam… I always will. This blend is just perfect for a rainy day at work when you really need something to cut the brain fog.

One of my DAVID’s TEA favorites, influenced by Tea with Jann of course! I found Jann’s videos when I was just turning 18 and I created thereadersteacup over on Instagram and a now-closed blog soon after. She made the wide world of tea a bit more accessible and a lot less overwhelming. Prior to her videos, I only knew that Harney and Sons, Tealightful, and the local tea room had looseleaf tea. Now, I have a decent collection and tea addiction… Also, I’m so grateful to have Jann as a tea friend, she’s such a positive part of our community and I’m so happy she’s back to making videos.

Really enjoying this one as a latte! I’m so glad I got the sampler box because I’m trying some new things! It’s more of a cinnamon tea blend than anything chai related based on what I’m tasting but as a latte it tastes like a cinnamonroll. YUM!

One of my favorite fruit tisanes, I quite literally only get it the 3 or 4 times a year that we go to Philly because I tend to only cold brew it and that’s not something I do all year.

Sooo we had an oopsie with this one. For reference, I work with children and adults with developmental disabilities and I asked kiddos sister (a teen) to make a matcha for me because I was cleaning something up for her and my work kiddo and I gave her the directions but I drank it with strawberry milk (cherry blossom matcha ) iced and went to make another just to find out that she poured in a whole 50 gram bag in.

I now have a headache but it tasted great. It’s my favorite DT Matcha.

I tried this early this morning after a mini, anxiety-inducing power outage at 4 am. As soon as the power returned at 745, I turned on the kettle and grabbed this sachet because I needed something sweet and indulgent.

It is nice, a bit of strawberry and a hint of cocoa… I liked it. Would I buy it again? Probably not but I am glad I tried it.
