drank Cinnaberry by DAVIDsTEA

Got this as one of my teas in the bogo TFF promo (I split this and Gold Rush with a friend) they have going on. Good as a hot tea, very nice smell all brewed up and very cinnamon-y in taste. Smells of berries, but I didn’t get that so much when I tasted it. Still a nice hot tea – not sure if I’d get it again but it was a tastey cup.

Flavors: Berries, Cinnamon, Hibiscus, Tart

drank Chamomile by Lipton

My mother bought some of this tea for me in an attempt to buy me a “fancy” tea (she really doesn’t get my tastes in tea), which I appreciate but this is just not that great. Thankfully it was partially saved by adding a lot of honey. I wish I could say exactly what was wrong with it but it was just kind of ..blah.
It’ll do in a pinch, though – so there’s that.

drank Shooting Starfruit by DAVIDsTEA

I bought this one a while back on sale and have only just gotten to taste it. whoops. Anyways, it’s a nice white tea, very fruity considering it’s not very strong. Maybe I should have used more, but it’s still pretty nice! Nothing special, but I would definitely have another cup.

Had this in starbucks yesterday as they were out of “regular” chai tea. It is much more spicier than whatever the regular is and I LOVE it. You can smell it as soon as it starts to brew. Three people nearby asked me what I was drinking because it smelled so good.

drank Toasted Walnut by DAVIDsTEA

I’m not generally a green tea drinker, but I received this one for Christmas and it sounded delicious!
Definitely get the walnut flavour in this tea (and there are HUGE walnut pieces in it – ps they were very tasty hahaha). Nutty and subtly sweet – I will definitely drink this green again!

drank Pumpkin Chai by DAVIDsTEA

An oldie but a goodie.
This tea is lovely straight up, but even better with some steamed milk.

drank Cocomint Cream by DAVIDsTEA
55 tasting notes

I got so much tea for Christmas that I just can’t drink it fast enough!
Cocomint cream has a really nice smell to it, definitely mint and coconut but the taste isn’t overwhelmingly minty, it’s just a nice combination of the two. I Usually add some sugar but for me this one doesn’t need it!
Okay I’m halfway through the cup and im going to try it with some sugar and a small splash of cream ( it is called Cocomint cream amiright? Might as well test it out!)
WOW. Okay this is really good. I normally only like milk in chai teas but this is really quite nice! Yep. I’d definitely have it like this again. I’m giving it a rating in between with cream and without cream added.

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Mint

drank Guava Cadabra by DAVIDsTEA
55 tasting notes

Got this bad boy for christmas – let’s see how you fair, guava cadabra!

Alright, one heaping teaspoon of tea in about 300 ml of almost to boiling water. Instructions say 4-7 min steep. 1 minute in and we have a REALLY nice pink colour. (I’m lookin’ at you, beetroot)

Smells the same as it did in the bag, but doesn’t have that weird aftersmell that it did in the pack – as an after taste – which is nice! I can mostly only taste a nice sweet mango and hint of apple. A good tea, and I’d drink it again; but not amazing and I wouldn’t kill to keep it in my cupboard.
(Added a tsp of sugar and it really brought out the fruity flavours; bumping the rating up now)

om nom.

Flavors: Apple, Mango

Not bad hot, but definitely prefer this one iced! Strong cherry flavour.

drank Pineapple Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

I’m discovering that I actually like oolongs! This one was really nice, however the pineapple flavour was really subtle. I added a chunk of fresh pineapple from my fridge actually and it was much better :P

21. Geologist in training. Sometimes world traveler.

I’m new to this tea world – I’ve been an avid coffee drinker until about a year ago. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to tea – I’m a fan of blacks, whites, and fruity herbals. The only thing I can’t do is chocolate in tea.

I am always looking to try new things though so if you have any recommendations (of teas and stores/sites to buy them from) or want to swap, let me know!

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON MY WISH LIST I WILL 100% SWAP WITH YOU! Just shoot me a message!
And if there’s anything I have that you’re dying to try, and I can spare it – again, just ask! :)

I also just started a tea blog, if you want to follow/give criticism go for it! (link down bottom)
