24 Tasting Notes
I have had a box of this tea in the cabinet for some time now. I tried it once before and don’t remember liking it but thought I would try it again as I am working through some older teas. Ok, so, the smell of the bag is straight up intense rooibos smell. I dont get any peach passion smell at all. Once steeped the peach comes out and gives a really nice subtle flavor but the roobios turns earthy tasting, not sweet like it normally does. I had this tea unsweetened (I normally find rooibos does not always need to be sweetened). I don’t find that there is anything amazing about this tea and it would not be one that I would just have to have. I am going to try to finish up the remaining tea in the box but would not repurchase again. It just is an average tea at best.
Flavors: Earth, Fruity, Peach, Rooibos
Preparation
I bought the iced tea tea bags from Starbucks for this tea. Normally I don’t like a huge amount of hibiscus in my tea but this one is actually really good. It is tart and tangy and fruity and refreshing. I really like this. I get a hint of the cinnamon but mostly what I taste is that hibiscus. This is an excellent herbal iced tea. I will repurchase this.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Hibiscus
Tried this one today. It was OK, not an amazing Chai but not bad. The description is sultry and I would agree with that. It is not a bright chai rather it is has a darker, less energetic flavor. It seems like there is not enough cinnamon or something in this is missing to me. Would I have it again? sure. I bought a variety pack from Numi so it only came with one of these tea bags but I would make it again if I run across another bag. It is not bad, I just have other Chai teas that I prefer over this one.
My husband picked up this tea to try and I have to say I love this one. It has a nice, delicate peach flavor and none of the grassiness that can sometimes come with green teas. I can see drinking this one in the evenings. Love this. I have always had a place in my tea cupboard for Lipton as I grew up drinking Lipton Iced tea made from the basic orange pekoe tea bags and to this day still love Lipton for that reason!! That aside, this peach green tea is very good, I highly recommend it!!
Flavors: Peach
Preparation
Prepared this tea and drank it hot. I actually prepared this two different times and each time was so let down. I expected a vibrant chai based on the description and the ingredient listing, however, this is the weakest chai I have ever had. The tea was steeped long enough and the black tea was there but no spice. I could see spice in the tea but it didn’t transmit to the cup. Also, the tea is not loose leaf full leaves, rather small tea bits that look to have been crushed and torn, similiar to the tea you would find in a tea bag. This resulted in the black tea flavor being very generic. I hate to say this, but, this is the worst Chai tea I have ever had, and I have had a lot of chai teas (that is my favorite tea!!!!)
Flavors: Cinnamon, Tea
Preparation
I am not a huge green tea fan however I actually really like this one. It tastes nutty and light. I had this as a hot tea however I think it would be excellent iced too. I worry though after looking at the ingredients that since they add artificial flavors to the tea that is what I am tasting. I don’t care for the fact Davids tea adds artificial flavors to their teas, I would prefer all natural flavors. I do like this tea though, it is a great green tea for those of us who are not huge green tea fans.
Flavors: Nutty
Preparation
Artificial and natural flavourings are usually chemically identical! the only difference is how they’re produced, but in reality that won’t affect the flavour — not that I’m jumping to defend davidstea I don’t really like the company that much anymore it’s just something that I think is interesting :)
I prepared this today per the instructions in the Davids Tea perfect pitcher. It was not bad, however, I would not buy it again. There is nothing amazing about the tea, just a pretty generic fruity flavor. I think I would like it more had it been stronger, however, since I followed the directions it came out too weak. Next time I will steep for double the time.
