5272 Tasting Notes
I was very excited when I bought this tea, so much so, that I didn’t realize how strong the rooibos tea smell was. When I went to make my first cup it really hit me as I was expecting more of a mint chocolaty scent. When I tried it for the first time, I noticed the rooibos taste is stronger in this tea than in some of the other DAVIDs rooibos teas (such as Oh Canada and Birthday Cake). It had a woodsy taste that ends with the taste of mint. I find if I think about it I can taste the mint chocolate flavor but when I am not focused I don’t really notice the chocolate at all (perhaps its a mind over matter situation). Ultimately, I like this tea enough to not regret purchasing it but I do not think I will be buying it again.
Preparation
As much as I love DAVIDsTEA, I am usually a little disappointed because the teas smell amazing but the taste and scent never really seem to match. Luckily, Lime Gelato was no disappointment. It smells like key lime pie and tastes just like it smells. I am in love with this flavor and will definitely be buying it again!
Preparation
this is one of the few david’s teas that i still really like
you may also find you’ll like the lemon or lime chiffon from della terra if you’re later looking for non caffeine options
I was actually on Della Terra’s website and was really interested in trying both lemon chiffon and lime chiffon. I was planning on getting a few of the sampler boxes but next thing I knew I filled so many of the sampler boxes because of all the teas I wanted to try that the total scared me and I closed down the website to protect my wallet :P. Luckily Dexter is sending me a couple Della Terra teas to try so if I enjoy them I will probably be placing an order with the website soon.
Thank you for the suggestions though because I am always looking for good caffeine free options so that I have teas I can enjoy at any time of the day (since I tend to get disappointed in the evenings as most of my favorites tend to have caffeine).
Caffeine free if youwant flavoured teas Della terra: orange and cream, lime chiffon and then lemon chiffon in that order and from butiki the peppermint patty if you like mint chocolate. I’m not a fan of most of the other Della terra teas….for the time/effort/convenience David’s tea works for me as a similar shop. However the sampler packs from Della terra are good, always wait fora sale….
