Mmmm!
I didn’t have high hopes for this one because it just smelled grassy in the bag.
But mannn! Did the smell betray me!
It’s creamy, nutty, smooth!
Delicious genmaicha! One of the better ones out there!

And this is the last from my order…
Probably my least favorite of all the samples.
Mostly earthy…but with a certain sweetness with it. Not horrible. But not something I’ll want to drink a lot probably.

Another one from my H&S order!
I taste cocoa and honey. A bit of earthiness to it.
Wasn’t sure I’d like it. But I actually do! Not bad at all!

Was a little sketchy about trying another new black tea since they never seem to taste how I expect, but this one surprised me! Why it’s kinda woody still, I can definitely taste the malt. Which is one of the things I like best about black teas!
This tea is strong, and yet kinda creamy. If I end up not buying more of this, I think I’ll at least enjoy the rest of the sample I got!

Bought a sample of this with my latest H&S order.
I have heard that it’s like the wedding tea, so of course I had to get it!
I am sure my nose is currently broken because when I opened the package all I could smell was chocolate milk…
There’s no chocolate in this….I don’t even know. But I kept trying to smell something else, but that’s all I smelled. xD And it’s not even like I drink chocolate milk or have it in my house…so I just…I don’t know. xD
Anyway, look wise, this tea is quite similar to the wedding tea. It’s soft and kinda colorful. It’s a pretty tea.
So. Not as good as I expected, but I’ll have to try it a few more times to be certain of it. I can see myself liking it, but not totally sure. Was hoping for more coconut/vanilla/rose flavors, but the coconut and rose were quite subtle in this tea. :/ The main thing I kept tasting was…hay…I guess it makes sense since it’s a white tea after all.
But yeah, not totally what I expected. The Wedding tea is definitely wayyyy better. But I have a couple more tsp left in this sample to come to a conclusion on this tea. We shall see.

Well…kinda disappointed with this one too. :/
Maybe I just got a crap load of cinnamon in the tsp I used, but this tea turned out wayyy strong. Mainly tasting cinnamon with this. It’s pretty buttery and a bit bready though, besides the cinnamon….but just not enough to make me really love it. Eh, I don’t know. These fall teas aren’t doing it for me just yet.
It’s not bad, but not a big fan either…
to the sell list it goes I guess. xD And if no one else wants it, then I will probably drink it down at some point. It’s not bad, but just…not my thing I suppose.

Got this tea from Albertocanfly, who seemed to really like it.
Since she got me to try genmaicha which I fell in love with, she thought I’d like this one….and she might have been right. xD
At might have steeped this a minute over or 30 seconds over on accident, since it totally smelled like burnt popcorn at first, but the flavor seemed to be okay.
I don’t know why I’m surprised…but it literally tastes like buttered corn.
I kinda thought it would taste more like genmaicha, like salted, nutty popcorn. But it just tastes like corn. Exactly what the name is. I don’t know why I thought any different. xD
The more I drink this one, the more I like it. Like genmaicha, it’s just really weird!
Who would have thought I’d like teas like this. xD
I love corn in general, but in a tea form…that’s just so different.
This tea is buttery and smooth. Has a strong taste of corn.
And yet I find myself actually liking it. I can see this tea really growing on me, like genmaicha. xD

Woke up really late today, much to my dismay. On the bright side at least I am starting work tomorrow, and not today. Woke up 4 hours later than I planned today and was too disappointed to know what to drink today until I randomly had a craving for genmaicha. xD
Tried one from a different company this time.
Lovely tea. Soft and smooth. Light and nutty.
Great choice for a first tea of the day! Thanks, Rie T! :D

Was gonna try Snickerdoodle next…but the maple tea really did disappoint me today. And since everyone seems to be drinking this lately I decided this was an appropriate time to jump back on the GO Wagon.
I always forget how good this one is! Not getting a single note of disappointment from this tea! ^^

So, I was gonna buy this, but people said it wasn’t that were maple-y. Instead I just ordered a bag of Snickerdoodle. Really wanted to get samples of this tea and Pumpkin Chai since it’s so popular and I’m scared of wasting my money, but I only got a sample of this one. Still happy about that though!
When I opened this bag it just smelled like cinnamon apples, so that made me a little disappointed.
Flavor is slightly better. Still mainly getting cinnamon apples, but with a little bit more sugar. But maple…
I just feel so betrayed.
I thought DavidsTea was originally from Canada. And as stereotypical as it is, I figured they’d make a better maple tea. Plus Oh Canada is amazing. Like that’s the bar for maple/syrupy teas.
I taste no maple in this. It’s like the name is a lie.
Well I guess I should be happier that I didn’t waste my money on this tea, but still! I had such high hopes.
Now I’m even more skeptical of Snickerdoodle…Guess I could always sell it on here, but it is still sad! :(
