It’s funny that I started out mostly liking flavored teas. But at least with David’s Teas, I am starting to enjoy their plain teas much more. I guess that my palate is becoming educated. I really like this Nepal Black, and I will definitely have it again.

I tried all three of David’s Tea’s new spring teas today, and I came away with a hot cup of this one. It smells lovely and has a nice full body. It was very pleasant, but I’m not sure that I would get it again.

Very mild flavor. Not unpleasant tasting, but not too exciting. I think I’d better get some more tisanes for spring.

I like this tea. Chocolatey with a nice bite, sort of like Mexican Chocolate.

I didn’t think much of this tea until I put a teaspoon of sugar in it. That changed everything. This is a nice dessert tea with a creamy mouth feel and mild flavor.

I like this tea a lot using less tea and a shorter steep. It holds up well to a second steep. The room smells really amazing while you are drinking it, too.

Springlike temps in Boston today for the first time in a very, very long time. So I made it down to David’s Tea only to find that the teas of the day had no caffeine which I sorely need after springing ahead into daylight savings time. I decided to give Strawberry Fields a try because it smelled so good, and really, it is not as bad as everyone says. My cup did not have a particularly strong strawberry flavor, so that may be why it did not disgust me with its artificiality.

I have been thinking about this tea since I had a sample cup a few weeks ago. I bought a few ounces today and was very surprised that they still had it in stock since it is a limited edition holiday tea. It is really delicious, and I hope that they bring it back next year.

I’m in the stage of my headcold where I can’t taste anything. Except this tea. :>)
