Dec. 30th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: You really almost smell butter cream icing. It’s a nice note but it’s not what I typically associate with red velvet cake. 7/10

Dec. 30th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5 min
Aroma: This really does give you the sense of a very nicely roasted coffee; however, there is a malty black tea note behind it 8/10

Body: This...
Chocolate Earl Grey from DAVIDsTEA

Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: Clearly earl grey. Bergamot is very strong. Not unpleasant but a little disjointed. 6/10
Flavor: I tried this plain and then added a splash of almond milk. The milk blended out some rough edges and left a nice citrus flavor with the lightest kiss of cocoa. 7/10
Body: Medium to medium ...

Aroma: This tea reminds me of a chocolate covered biscotti. Really inviting, very dessertlike. 8/10
Flavor: Very cocoa forward with a minor note of almond. 8/10

Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: I really don’t know how they do it but they are a master of creating blends. This smells like a strawberry rhubarb pie in the best way. The souring notes of the rhubarb pop so well. 9/1
Flavor: There is a really nice fruit balance to this and the hibiscus body Balances out very well. ...
Magic Potion from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 27th, 2020
Pre: 200F, 5min, 2.5tsp, 16oz
Aroma: I can’t tell if this is the purple color of the liquid or if I’m really getting this much blueberry and blue raspberry. Either way, it’s fruity. 8/10
Flavor: This tastes like blue raspberry as well. I’m not sure if I’m as big of a fan of that for a dominant flavor b...
Valerian Nights from DAVIDsTEA

Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 1 sachet, 12oz, 5min
Aroma: There is a lot going on here. I’ll just say the coconut is most prevalent but many other notes are in the background. 7/10
Flavor: There is a good bit of coconut and apple here. I’m not well versed in some of the other items included but I’m generally impressed. 7/1...

Cardamom French Toast from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 2.5tsp, 16oz, 7min
Aroma: There is something to be said for a tea smelling like WGT it’s called. There is a sense of buttery, sugary, french toast. 8/10
Flavor: This is in the zone as well. It does lean on the sweeter side of French toast but this has that richness that you’d associate with break...
Mango Madness from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 15th, 2020
Prep: 3 tsp in 16 oz water. 200F for 5 minutes.
Aroma: Faint mango fruitiness and some light earthiness. Not too pungent.
Taste: mild with a very light fruitiness.
Value: priced fairly but maybe not strong enough flavor for the bold tea lovers.
Organic Vanilla Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 14th, 2020
A little funny having a black tea before bedtime; however, the cab says low caffeine. David’s would not mislead me, right?
Prep: 2.5 tsp, 16oz, 200F, 7.5 minutes (directions say 205 for 7 minutes).
Aroma: You really get the vanilla notes on this one. The cinnamon pops pretty nicely as well. With the aroma bei...
Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend38 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Dec. 10th, 2020
This tea sounds incredible but really doesn’t have enough to it...
Appearance - rose colored with decent translucency.
Aroma - cinnamon and apple and very little else.
Flavor - there just isn’t much here. Watery.
Value - it’s not crazy expensive but it’s probably 4-5/oz
Organic Gyokuro Yamashiro from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Gyokuro – Region: Kagoshima, Japan30 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 21st, 2020
Looks and smells like a proper gyokuro but completely misses on flavor. Very hard to steep, needs a low temp and short time to avoid turning it into an astringent bitter mess. Does not re-steep at all, one and done. Some of the vegetal taste of a gyokuro but like an artificial version, not balanced or rich.

Caramel Shortbread from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 31st, 2019
This “tea” is sweet and aromatic. I enjoyed it, even just using hot water dispensed from a Keurig. The second stepping was weaker than the first, though some flavor was still present.

Hot Chocolate from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Blend55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 24th, 2018
I’ve always thought of chocolate tea as a bit of a conundrum. While I love chocolate, and I love tea, in almost every case attempting to blend the two leaves you with little more than a watered-down cup of hot chocolate. Call me crazy, but hot chocolate is supposed to be rich and creamy, and somehow nobody ever seems...

Candy Cane Crush from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 24th, 2018
At first blush, Candy Cane Crush is definitively festive! With candy cane pieces and snowflake sprinkles mixed into the tea, it has the appearance of being quite literally made for the holiday season. But does it taste festive? DAVIDsTEA bills it as a sweet, icy-cool peppermint black tea, so candy canes do seem to be w...

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 24th, 2018
DAVIDsTEA claims they take their french toast very seriously. In my opinion, they’re right! When I first saw that they had a french toast tea, I couldn’t imagine it tasting anything like one of my favorite breakfasts. Boy was I wrong! The Cardamom French Toast tea is rich, creamy, and tastes just like a buttery sli...

Zest Wishes from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Blend45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 24th, 2018
This is a decent tea that tastes just like I expected it to. It’s billed as a zesty blend of “warm cinnamon, cardamom and zesty orange peel,” and they aren’t wrong. The cinnamon and cardamom are well-balanced and rich, and the orange peel provides a decent kick to go along with the lightly caffeinated oolong te...

Organic Gyokuro Yamashiro from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Gyokuro – Region: Kagoshima, Japan30 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 20th, 2018
I'd really like to say something positive about this tea, but it's really just not good. I gave it several chances. I brewed it first using the method that worked reliably with the Maeda-en gyokuro, but it was bitter and made me extremely jittery. I tried converting the annoying, proprietary "perfect spoonful" measurem...

Kenyan Tinderet from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nandi, Kenya75 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 31st, 2018
This tea is made up of small pellets when dry. I suspected they would expand with water, which they did -- but not overwhelmingly so. The aroma is pretty subtle.
I brewed it at 205 F by pouring water over it and then allowing it to steep awhile. It never became bitter or unpleasant. It reminds me of a mixture of asp...
S’mores Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 31st, 2018
Sticking my nose into the bag, I found the aroma of the dry tea pleasant and strong. The main notes were of cinnamon, hazelnut, and chocolate. After brewing (at 200 F for 4 minutes) , those scents were more muted and subtle notes of graham cracker and campfire picked up.
The taste and aroma strike me as well blended...
Organic Silken Pu-erh from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 8th, 2018
I was in the area, so I decided to check out a David's Tea shop. In all honesty, it looked more like a candy store than a tea shop. It had all these colorful spoons and containers and most of their "teas" looked more like trail mix or confetti than tea (some of them had the ingredients to trail mix in them). I'd writte...

Organic Countess of Seville from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 4th, 2018
This tea has little bits of blue cornflower and bits of some citrus rind, so it looks nice. The tea leaves are not cut up, but whole. It smells strongly of bergamot. The flavour is strong on bergamot, not very strong of citrus, which I like. I'm not a fan of citrusy earl grey, but this one has only a hint of citrus ar...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend25 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 4th, 2018
This "tea" does not look like tea, but like a pile of nuts and dried fruits. It smells delicious, like nuts, apples, a bit of cinnamon or clove. However, the taste is not great. It is not a strong flavour, a bit one note, flat, mostly of nuts, like warm nut water, which is basically what it is. It seems to be popular, ...
