drank Redberry Tonic by DAVIDsTEA

This tea is fruity, but tangy at the same time. I really like it and I was freaking out when they discontinued it. This is also one of the first dozen teas I ever picked up. There is this weird taste that I think must be the sea buckthorn. But I also taste the hibiscus, other berries and tanginess of the lemongrass. It’s a lovely blend I like having around.

Forever loving this blend. I actually waited a long time to try this, and when I did, I instantly loved it. Peach and apricot are some of my favourite ingredients and this tea is just lovely with them both. The almond is there also, and it actually adds to the flavour. I just simply love this tea!

This is another coconut tea I don’t mind because of the delicious raspberry underneath. It’s nice and rich, with coconut entering first and then the sweet raspberry coming second, which is what I like about this tea. It’s a comforting black tea enjoyed hot. I’m also getting a nice creamy taste to this. (I HATE this iced. Don’t know why.) Though I don’t like coconut, it sure blends well with raspberry.

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Raspberry

drank Berry Refreshing by DAVIDsTEA

This is a nice berry tea. Refreshing too – it lives up to its name. It’s one of the first teas I tried from DT and ever since, I was hooked. It obviously tastes like berries, and I like the lemongrass in it. For specific berry tastes, I think I’m tasting blackberry and could be the elderberry – though I’ve never tried elderberry. Overall, I really enjoy this tea. I’m having it hot, because when I tried having it iced it didn’t taste the greatest. Hot is it lovely. I am getting a bit of a hibiscus aftertaste but that’s fine.
I’m just sad they discontinued this one.

Flavors: Berry, Blackberry, Blueberry, Lemongrass

This is a yummy tea, hot or as a latte. Very creamy, with chocolatey and banana flavours to it. It’s a good sweet dessert tea – if that’s your thing.

I assume this is the right one, since my tin just says ‘Raspberry Pineapple’… Anyway, I’ve had this since Christmas and haven’t tried it till now. It’s about time. It’s actually really light, and there’s not too much flavour to this. Teavana recommended a 2 min steep so that’s what I did, but I think it should’ve been 3 min. It has a fruity taste, and I think I can mostly taste the raspberry in this. Not a bad tea, but not something I’d drink too often. Maybe my mom will like this.

Flavors: Fruity, Raspberry

drank Rhubarb Chai by DAVIDsTEA

This tea is lovely and a bit sweet. I don’t usually like chai, but this is one of those I actually like. It has a nice rhubarb taste to it and also has a subtle spice to it that makes it well balanced. Pretty good in my opinion.

Flavors: Rhubarb, Spices

drank Orange Spice by Numi Organic Tea

I had this today at Coffee Culture (I know, I know), and it was actually not bad at all. Quite spicy tasting, but it blends well with the orange. (Also, do not drink right after having chili, my mouth was on fire)

Flavors: Orange, Spices

This is alright. It tastes very tropical to me, not really sure on the individual flavours – because I never have those types of fruits. But this has a floral note to it as well. I think I taste the mango, maybe the pineapple. It’s just a mix of tropicalness in my cup. Not a bad tea, but not my favourite, either.

Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Mango, Pineapple, Tropical

Bio

Hi, I’m Michelle and I am pretty much obsessed with tea. Some people say I have a problem. I mostly drink DavidsTea – but I am open to trying other ones too.

Things I LOVE in tea:
-Fruits (especially peach, melon, strawberry, banana, berries etc)
-Chocolate
-Lemongrass
-Cinnamon

Things I don’t MIND in tea:
-Stevia
-Vanilla
-Pineapple
—Mint & Peppermint

Things/ingredients I HATE in tea:
-Coconut (Rare exceptions)
-Nuts (Some exceptions)
-Caramel/toffee
-Earl Grey (Bergamot)
-Rice/fennel
-Coffee beans
-Bamboo
-Lavender

I am quite picky with my teas. If the primary ingredients are mixed with something I don’t tend to like – I will try it and its possible I’ll like it. But if the tea is mostly/primarily something I hate – I won’t even try it.
I mostly like Herbals, Green, Oolong, White and Black teas.
