DAVIDsTEA

I took my younger sister to DAVIDsTEA today to grab a cup to enjoy and we spent the hour sniffing away at their medley of flavours, the one in particular that caught her attention when she got a whiff was Mint Chocolate Rooibos tea. It was prepared and we sat outside to enjoy our tea, she spent minutes upon minutes just smelling the tea, giving her "Mmm"s and "Aahh"s at the tea’s scent. She would dip her stir stick in and taste the tea off the stick and was extremely delighted with it’s flavour, but when it came to actually drinking it, it became disgusting. I too found the scent amazing, at first I was skeptical about it, but it’s aroma was so magnetic, but I was right, I tried it afterwards, it’s not necessarily to die for…

The aroma itself is enough to melt you down to half your height, the first time I held that tea in my hands, I kid you not, about fifteen to twenty minutes was spent breathing in the redolance that is Crème Caramel Rooibos Tea. The taste took me beyond it’s scent; the Rooisbos was definately present, along with the milky flavour and the sweet sugary-creamy taste of caramel as well, and yet it felt like they all hit you on their own, not one disgusting blend like you find in sickening pops such as Dr. Pepper, each flavour had it’s own identity and yet once they made it to my palette on their own they could work together and send my taste buds soaring. I definitely recommend this tea.

This is a nice tea. Dry, it smells more caramelly than after steep. The taste is mainly rooibos with a little caramel. Not strong flavoured, but pleasant after a meal (if you like rooibos teas).

Tasty tea – heavy on the coffee and chocolate flavors, plus earthy tea. Much preferable to plain Pu-erh, in my opinion. Makes for a really dark tea as well – looks almost like coffee, even when steeped for only a few minutes.

I’m not overly fond of this blend. It’s okay, but not something I would ever buy for myself.

Rather spicy, a good strong brew.

This is another sample from Lucy’s daughter of Angel Teas. Again, don’t know her source, so am logging under David’s brand.

I enjoyed this tea. Best with honey or milk.

I completely agree with Doulton’s tasting note here. This is lovely!

This tea has a nice caramel type smell. The taste is like a mix of rooibos and green tea taste which is okay but not really dessert-like. So this tea is okay but not as tastey as I expected given the description. Worth a try though.

This is the first loose tea I bought for my mom (because she can only drink decaf) and she loves it! She recently bought more because she drinks it every night to help her fall sound asleep. I drink this as well, but I drink “Mother’s Little Helper” more, every night… both are herbal teas from DAVIDsTea :)

This tea rocks – it’s like a quick of subtly sweet but mostly spicy tea that really perks you up on a lazy afternoon.

I made a pot of this tea, cozied up with a cup, and then read that it’s supposed to be enjoyed iced… woops! I like this tea hot though too, sweetened. It’s very light and fruity. Tastes girly. ;) Not to mention the pretty peachy pink color.

There is a tang for the first 10 minutes or so (hot tea) but the flavor is deeper/richer than typical fruity teas. I think I prefer this to the Berry Up tea (also from David’s Tea) when hot. But both are lovely iced. The flavor is so berry sweet that you wouldn’t have to add sweetener of any kind.

Has a tang to it like a ‘raspberry zinger’ type of tea. But I like it, hot or cold. Just make sure to use the full 2 teaspoons, because I used 1.5 teaspoons to try and get two cups out of the last little bit that I had left and it just wasn’t the same.

first tea I ever bought! I had a cold and was looking for ginger tea. I found DavidsTea shop and the sales lady showed me a whole lot of loose teas—it was an impressive, overwhelming, and a feel-good experience, all at the same time :) and oh yea, my cold went away after drinking this ginger tea :)

I always drink this tea after lunch at work :) truly helps in making me feel less bloated, and it has definitely decreased my appetite (and as a result, my waist size!)

So good. This is such a good dessert tea. I really enjoy having this tea in the evening… it’s so smooth and tasty, with no caffeine. I love the caramel flavor, and add a tsp of agave nectar to my cup to satisfy my sweet tooth. I could drink this tea every evening.

This spice based chai is a rather delicious one. Although it’s spice based, the flavor is surprisingly smooth on the palate.

The loose tea is very nice to look at. With its red peppercorns, broad leaves, red rooibos and other ingredients and’s a collection of visuals to keep your eyes budy. The aroma hints at cinnamon but has plenty of the cardamom and peppercorns to provide a feisty play in the nose.

The liquor brews up a beautiful orange gold and smooths the aroma providing a savory sweet collection of flavor suggestions including coconut, ginger and peppercorn.

I like this tea best with milk. I’ve always traditionally made chai with milk as that’s how I was taught by Indian friends of mine. This tea is ‘ok’ without milk. But it really comes alive with milk added.

I recommend this chai to fans of other chai blends, especially Pumpkin Spice chai blends. Fans of cinnamon teas will also find this a palate pleaser.

This tea is growing on me, and I find I enjoy it more with a bit of milk. I was hoping that the mate would be a better stimulant to help with my coffee cravings, but it’s not really giving me enough of a “buzz” for lack of a better term. I still enjoy it though.

I like this tea. It’s a great coffee alternative, and I enjoy it with a little agave nectar.
