David's Tea

Second and last sample of this.

Tea latte: 2 tsp (the entire contents of the second and last sample) in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. 1 1/3 cups of warm milk with 2 tsp of sugar was added. This is MUCH better this way. I think I should just stop trying to drink chai teas plain. Not bad for a cold night.

Another sample. I put the whole sample in 16 ounces. It looked like over 2 tsp but it came out quite watery. It’s just watered-down spices. I have another sample of this that I plan to try as a latte as I’ve liked chai teas as lattes before.

Another tea really meant for kids. Very sweet. Artificial taste nearly identical to fuzzy peachs candy. Likely good iced. Nice to have every once in a while. No re-steep value on re-steep tastes of apples and weakly of peaches.

It’s really hard to get cherry to work correctly for a tea, but this isn’t too obtrusive. A lightly diluted brew when served iced, or full-bodied when served warm, both complement this tea well. Beware of temperature, as this easily burns, and the tannins will ruin the flavor! Fairly mellow, floral, and thirst quenching.

This Tie Kwan Yin is on the higher end of the spectrum for baking and oxidation. Leaf size is smaller than usual, color is dark brown and there is an absence of lighter green shades. Aroma of infused leaves is burnt, nutty, and sharp despite having fairly weak aroma without a large amount of leaf brought close to the nose. Infused leaf is not as well formed as other examples of tie kwan yin and seems to not have been beaten enough in the production process. Liquor is clear and pale gold in color . Taste is buttery, toasty, and nutty. Mouth feel is medium weight and slightly dry. Leaves the mouth feeling dry and slightly thirsty. Tastes best with a large leaf to water ratio and short infusion times.

I have tried Evergreen tea brand recently and this tea helps to lose weight and to get rid of the bloating feeling. Whenever i work out, i always drink this tea right before i go to sleep so in the morning it helps me clear my system out… it works well when it’s hot.

Now, I usually don’t like pumpkin teas, but i figured i would give this a try!

Its a great pumpkin tea that is not overly powerful. Unfortunately i only had a sample size and the tea went offline before i had a chance to order some more! Woe is me! I definitely hope this is one they will bring back in the future!

This is a great tea iced or hot! I love teas that are versatile like that!

No sweetener added, its a very smooth floral tea, with the very slightest hint of cherry! I love it!

This is an odd ball tea to me. Some times it turns out great and others i just dump it down the drain!

While it does taste like peaches I find that depending on how you prepare it it tends to taste overly artificial.

Unfortunately this isn’t one I keep on hand for that reason.

I am relatively new to green teas. I tend to stick to herbals and black teas.

I got a sample of this from a friend and man, this is a real winner on my part! The tea reminds me of the green tea served at sushi restaurants, so it brings back alot of great memories of eating my favortie food! As soon as i finished the sample i went and bout another 100g!

As much as i love this tea i do find that the smell is a little nauseating, but well worth the taste after brewing!

This is another awesome tea! I always take my chocolate teas with milk and sugar and this is no exception!

The first time i had this was on a cold snowy day in December. My Sis in law said to try it as a tea latte so i did.

Wow! What a kick in the pants! It put that chilly day out of my mind!
This is one that i pull out when ever its snowing. It’s helps pump me back up!

I have to admit, i bought this tea a long long time ago. I tried it and didn’t care for it. It’s been sitting in the back of my tea drawer ever since.

I do know alot of people love this tea. Maybe i didnt prepare it right?

I first bought it since I’ve never tasted a kiwi flavoured tea. I was really intrigued and the smell was nice. The actual drink was refreshing, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea. I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t really like it either. This tea would probably suit someone that wouldn’t mind the dryness in the mouth that I felt after sipping this.

I really liked this tea, since it made me feel really festive during and after drinking it. Due to the sprinkles, there’s a sweet aftertaste, but it’s not overwhelming. Not to mention the aroma was great :). It’s in in the top chart of rooibos teas I’ve tried, but, it is not my favourite.

Reminds me of the type of tea they serve at sushi restaurants.Still very good, just a little generic. Very toasty,warm and familiar.

I’ve never had a wine give me a headache until this one so I figured I’d drink some tea to help. As far as pumpkin goes it’s very subtle. The artificial taste is throwing me off though.

Thought I would love it, but for some reason I just can’t enjoy the entire cup. I believe it might be a bit too heavy on the walnut taste for a real “cookie” flavor.

Gosh darn it, I thought this would be a sipdown but somehow I never added this sample to my cupboard. It’s fine. IT’S FINE.

It’s heading into winter in little old Hobart town and the air has gotten quite crisp in the last couple of weeks (WELCOME, WINTER!!!). It’s a nice quiet Monday night on the desk at work so I’ve brewed this up to sip while watching My Shows.

Uh… it’s really tasty? Not sure why the negativity from others, I’m not getting any overwhelmingly punchy spice, it all sits nicely and it smells LOVELY. I brewed in a pot with maybe 3/4 hot water, 1/4 steamed milk, added a little bit of honey and yum! Just what I wanted it to be for this kind of weather.
