drank Blueberry Jam Organic by DAVIDsTEA
1436 tasting notes

There are blueberries in this mix, but the taste is minimal compared to the smell. I was hoping the taste wasn’t as intense as the smell (since that would be like drinking blueberry jam) but it just seemed to be the bare minimum taste-wise. I’ll finish this sample but probably won’t purchase again.

Update: Cold brewed this and I’m liking it more, but I’m not quite sold. There’s certainly more of a blueberry taste with a nice sweetness at the end of the sip.

From what I recall, this was tasty. This was another of my samples I picked up. I love when coconut works out in tea! And I liked the mix of black and white tea.

drank Lime Gelato by DAVIDsTEA

This tastes just like it smells. I’m loving the creaminess with the apple. It only gets better as it cools!

I’m not really loving this one, I think due to the cinnamon. I can perhaps taste a slight hint of vanilla but other than that it’s just cinnamon.

A great combo of coconut, vanilla, and black tea.

I wonder if my stash of this is stale… my friend told me it smelled like cat pee and now when I sniff it it just doesn’t smell delicious at all anymore :/

drank Cranberry Pear by DAVIDsTEA

It’s just got such a lovely taste for cranberries and black tea. Must be the pear. It’s excellent as it cools. I’ve found the sweet spot – not hot and not cold but somewhere in between there.

drank Love Tea #7 by DAVIDsTEA

I can taste everything here – chocolate, strawberry, and even a slight floral taste. For someone who enjoys chocolate and fruit this would be perfect because that’s exactly what it tastes like – strawberries dipped in chocolate.

drank Kiwi's Big Adventure by DAVIDsTEA
1436 tasting notes

This one smells great dry and steeped – more apple and lemon than kiwi.

Update: I’ve tried this one hot and it didn’t wow me. I also cold brewed this and can’t decide if I’m enjoying it more or not. It’s a fascinating taste thought I’m not quite sure it’s a kiwi taste.

This one I got as a sample with one of my recent online orders from DavidsTea. It smells wonderful, minty and chocolately.

This one’s pretty delicious. I can taste the mint and chocolate and even a hint of vanilla. I may steep it a bit longer next time around but overall a nice smooth finish for this one.

drank Luscious Watermelon by DAVIDsTEA

I can taste the honeydew and watermelon here, but not too sure about the carrot and apple.

This tea is delicious hot or cold and I honestly don’t know which I prefer – hot in the winter (about -25 here at the moment) and cold in the summer. This one’s been a part of my permanent collection since I discovered it and I definitely recommend it.

Profile

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have a potato allergy, so I avoid animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
