David's Tea

I notoriously dislike pu’erh tea, so I was leary – but I love chocolate and orange together. I really enjoyed this – it was rich and actually chocolaty, with the definite orange peel flavor. I saw someone compare it to the chocolate covered orange peel candy (which my son always gets me for every birthday because he knows I like it and he won’t steal that one), and I’d agree. It definitely is the drink version of that. It is earthy but pleasantly so, and definitely dark chocolate as opposed to milk or cocoa. I did pick out some of the chocolate chips from the steeping basket and put them directly in my cup. Added some rock sugar and this was enough to get me to avoid the chocolate doughnuts on the counter. (But now the tea is gone, and the doughnuts are not…)

Home – 6:00 PM

There’s a pot roast currently cooking in my Instant Pot and it smells amazing! ❤

This tea is disappointing to me… It’s weak even though I used extra leaf and steeped it for 4 minutes. And it mostly just tastes of clove, with a bit of a creamy note in there. Definitely no pumpkin.

Womp womp. Someday I will try a pumpkin spice tea that knocks my socks off. But that day is not today!

This tea really made me so sad that I dont like pumpkin. Like it was so good but im just dont like pumpkin which is what hols me back from buying a bunch of this tea. The pumkin taste is the main focus but its not over powering. Im just really bummed I don’t like pumkin

A bit of chai, not enough pumpkin. I thought this tea would be a pumpkin spice sorta thing, im disappointed. Maybe I’m making it wrong because no matter how much i over-steep it it doesn’t taste like much.

I like this one. It reminds me a lot of Teavana’s version, which I guess is to be expected. I do think DTs is better. No strong marigold taste like yesterday, and I think the hibiscus level is lighter (but I like hibiscus so you might feel differently). I am drinking it hot, so I can’t fully rate how it would be iced. Good, dependable fruity stuff!

I decided I wanted a fruity evening tea and found this one. I was a little disappointed. I think it would have been pleasant if unmemorable except for a sour bite at the finish of the sip. I suppose a little sweetner might have helped, but I rarely use sweetner in my tea. Maybe I’ll try mixing it with a straight black for iced tea.

This is the second of my summer fruit infusion teas. I’m a sucker for Peach teas. I once had peach ginger tea from a teeny little shop in Minneapolis, and it was on day that I could smell and taste and it was divine. I loved that tea! But most peach teas miss the mark for me, which this one did. I kinda like it, but I don’t love it. As with most fruit infusions, this one is pale in color when brewed. The flavor was sweet and a little zingy. There was a definite aftertaste which I didn’t enjoy. I have no sense of smell right now so the flavor was simply missing for me but I suspect this one probably tastes a bit artificial. Still, I drank the whole cup and think I’ll drink the rest of the 25 grams. Maybe I’llo like it better iced.

this tea i wouldnt drink if i was forced to. it leaves a horrible aftertaste in your mouth & it tastes almost burnt. Super artificial tasting as well. completely dissapointed.

Surprisingly good tea for something labeled “Detox”!

I did not discover this tea on time when it first came out and missed out on it. I have been wanting to try it for years since. The wait is finally over and I must say that it makes a really tasty hot tea latte (tastes like a cookie too!) Perfect paired with some gluten free chocolate chip cookies.

Love peach, hate this tea. :(

It has this weird sour aftertaste. Very artificial. I added some sugar to try to kill the taste but nope, it’s still there. Hard pass on this one!

I bought this tea just to have something different and light for the summer. I have not been disappointed! It is light, slightly sweet and very refreshing! It is okay hot but amazing iced!

I love this tea. The light floral flavor is soothing & relaxing. Haven’t tried it iced.

I didn’t care for this tea. Wasn’t for my tastes. I gave the rest to a friend.

Make an iced preparation. I like they peachy flavor but there’s some sort of aftertaste that lingers. There isn’t any artificial sweetener in it which I would normally blame for that taste. Not sure of the source. Maybe I brewed the tea too strong? Followed the recommendation to brew a single serve packet of this tea.

the ingredients on my container and on the site are listed as Organic: Black tea, marigolds. With cornflowers and natural flavouring. THERE IS NO BERGAMOT in this. So IDK why they call it an earl grey since the whole concept of earl grey is black tea with bergamot. It tastes like melted ice cream with a weird pepto bismol aftertaste. I couldn’t even finish the cup it was that bad. Simply gross.

Had it hot and it was pretty good. The chocolate wasn’t overwhelming.
