Finally, a David’s tea full of bergamot flavouring! The David’s Earls I’ve tried so far disappointed me with their strong floral flavours, but this is bursting with bergamot.

Heavy on the floral, low on the bergamot. The vanilla is a nice touch, but I doubt I’d buy this again.

I tried this hot, but I think it would be much better iced. The floral notes overpowered the fruity ones a wee bit, and I couldn’t taste the bergamot at all. It was however sweet and pleasant. Reminder to self : Iced tea is OK. Tea pop is not.

Tastes exactly like the dessert. I have tried other chocolate teas and didn’t care for them at all, but this is friggin’ fantastic. I think the coconut goes a long way in balancing out the chocolate flavour. It’s brilliant, and I love it and I hope my cupboard is never empty of it. Did not resteep well, maybe it would be ok with half the water.

I’m not entirely sure what half the fruit in this tea is, but it’s tasty. It looks a lot like the dried fruit you could get in trail mix. When it was hot it was okay, but when it cooled off, yum. I’ll be drinking this cold, or at the very least tepid. With a little sugar it tasted like the juice leftover from a can of Del Monte fruit cocktail.

Underwhelmed. I bought this hoping it would be floral but sadly I wasn’t able to coax much floral flavour out of it. 1st steep was grassy and very mildly bitter. 2nd was a tad sweeter with the slightest hint of floral. 3rd brought back the grass as did the fourth and fifth. The wrapper was not the same as the listing or the one the previous reviewer received. Perhaps a different batch. I may try again another day with a different temp.

Maybe I steeped this all wrong or maybe it was old, but I found it very unpleasant as did my roommate.

Pleasant enough when a green tea mood strikes me. I’m not a big lover of green tea, but this one is nice and doesn’t get bitter if I forget about if for a few minutes.

Very nice basic green tea. The jasmine flavour is not very strong, but it adds a bit of interest. I’m generally more of a black tea person, but I’d easily reach for this again to change things up.

The 3rd tea I’ve tried that contains mandarin and the only palatable one. I was cautious after having tried Tazo’s orange tea, but this is delightful. Very and truly orangey. If you just want orange without messing about with other flavours then you will probably like this. Very good with a spoon of sugar.
