Happy 2015, everyone! I’m feeling a liiiiiittle affected by a wine/champagne hangover this morning, so I decided to try this one (thank you tea Christmas presents!). I don’t usually drink green tea first thing in the morning, but this one isn’t bad – and I hope it lives up to the name, LOL. My system definitely needs a recharge this morning.

And with this, I have tried all of the oolongs currently available at DavidsTea. LOL. This is the best plain oolong I’ve had in awhile (I may need to break out my Oolong Supreme to test that theory), and is exactly what my tastebuds were craving today. As always, I added a little bit of milk to get it a little creamier, though I’m still getting a little grassy taste.

One of my FAVOURITE flavoured greens, hands down. This is delicious hot or iced (though I prefer it hot), and is definitely one I recommend to people who are looking for a flavoured green.

I actually like this one a lot more than most people seem to, haha. It’d be nice for a return!

I find I always need to add more leaves to get this to the flavour I want it to be, even when I steep it for awhile. Kind of annoying, but the taste is so yummy that I will put up with it.

I like coconut, and I like mint, but I’m not sure if I like them together. Hmm. Or maybe the ingredients have changed from last year because this tastes different than what I remember it being.

Full-on raspberry, oh my! Which is a good thing, in this case. I wish DavidsTea (or someone similar) made a loose leaf version of this one, as I’ve mostly turned away from bagged teas. If anyone out there knows of such as option, let me know!

Again, stop discontinuing my favourite teas!! I remember thinking this one had a weird flavour profile at first (mint plus fruit? What?), but it definitely grew on me and turned into one of my favourite herbals.

I’m not as OMG over this blend as a lot of people seem to be, but it is definitely a nice tea to have around the holidays/the winter months. I have a little bit of this left from my Holiday Collection, but I’m not going to be rushing out to stock up – there are plenty of other mint teas out there to tide me over until when/if thsi comes back next year.

Again, another tea that has been discontinued… Sigh. One of my first forays into the world of lemon teas. Lemon Myrtle and La La Lemon are now my to gos for this flavour, but if this one were still around, you can bet it would still be on my shelf.
