this tastes like presidents choice candy cane crackle ice cream… without the cal’s …. especially when you make it a latte! its so good! i love it :)

This one is strange for me. I love the tea, once its steeped and I am drinking it, but the scent of the dry leaf is off-putting. I find the dry leaf smells like a package of honey lemon fisherman’s friends cough drops which made me think it would be a little mentholish like a cough drop. To my suprise it wasn’t. It tastes just like honey to me, without that sickly sweet thickness. It gives me a nice pick me up in the afternoon, and its nice and light as opposed to some of the other mate’s I have tried (chocolate rocket-to be exact.. that tea drinks like a meal!). I purchased some Jack Daniel’s Tenesse honey whiskey and used iced honeybee as a mix, and it was fabulous!

Because of my recent venture into rooibos land, I picked up this one. I was disappointed in the vanilla oolong so I figured this one might be the winner for me out of those two. This one definitely wins. I had this tea straight, but I also made a latte one night before bed with almond milk. It was fantastic. I find with this one, I am particular about how it is steeped because too long, and the rooibos overpowers the vanilla giving it a bit of a bitter taste but so long as it is steeped correctly, it is a good tea!

I’ll admit… when this was previewed in the fall, I was hesitant because out of their cake teas, the only one I felt Davids really got right was ‘ice cream cake’. I thought that this would have that sickeningly sweet taste that the birthday cake had, or the weakness that the chocolate cake one had (because red velvet is chocolatey as well). I didn’t pick it up before Christmas, but I got a little bit recently. I am pleasantly suprised. There is no stevia in it, so there is no sickening, sweetness to it. The beetroot makes it steep up a wonderful red colour. The different chocolates work to compliment one another, and they are strong enough for me… which says a lot.. because I generally have to oversteep a lot of teas to get it to my preference. Unlike their other chocolate teas this one stands well, and will definitely become a go-to treat on my tea shelf.

I love this tea! I had a period where I was completely off of rooibos. There was something about the taste that made me gag so I took a good, 8 or 9 months off of it completely and stuck to black teas, pu’erh’s, mate’s and herbals. Now that I am back to rooibos, I have slowly been going through the ones I hadn’t tried, and also all of the new ones to come out during my break. Jessie’s tea is sweet and soothing. I find the lavender really balances out the coconut, making it relaxing.. I prefer to drink this one mid-day after my caffeinated cup of black tea!

This one is like sunshine in a mug! It makes me think of summertime… I find that I like to steep it a bit longer than required to make the flavour stronger, but it is definitely one of my favorites!

This is a nice light tea, which came out in the springtime. I found it perfect for then because it was one of the first ones I had iced. Its nice and sweet and fruity.

To me, this tea tastes like forever nuts, but with apple and cinnamon. I enjoy it when its cold out because it is a nice fruity tea, but the almond and coconut add depth to it. This is what a fruit tea should definitely be like in the winter! nice and balanced!

This tea was too mapley for me. It basically tasted like Oh Canada!, I was not impressed.

Out of all of the ‘cake collection’ this was my favorite. Unfortunately, I made myself a bit sick of it as it is a sweeter, heavier tea, and it came out when it was cold outside, so I was drinking a lot of it hot. It is really good, but doesn’t taste that much like ice cream cake!
