Gingerbread

I’m not a fan of this one.

This tea did not remind me of gingerbread cookies. The flavour was a bit bland and didn’t have a nice after-taste.

I’m not a fan of ginger, and the smell of this one is a little strong, but I loved the taste. To me, it doesn’t taste like gingerbread, but it is still pretty tasty.

I think this is my first review of this one. So sad. I’ve had this one for 1.5 years according to label.

Either way, I’m enjoying this one as a latte. It’s very good. I’m definitely getting some good gingerbread flavour but it’s not super strong which is probably user error more than anything. I don’t think my tea to milk ratio was very good tonight. But either way, it is very good and I’m enjoying it a lot. I think that’s how I’m going to drink this one up. And by drink up, I mean how I’m going to enjoy it.

My problem with this tea is that I can’t taste the ginger! Strong molasses, sweet maple brown sugar…but no ginger zing. It’s a very gentle tea, rather weak in flavor actually, and I was hoping for a more robust taste. But, it’s nice. Kind of like a soft little cookie without any frosting. It’s just as well that this was last year’s seasonal offering. I don’t find it very memorable. If I’m craving a maple syrup and brown sugar taste I can always reach for David’s perennial “Oh Canada!” rooibos.

This was my first loose-leaf tea. I sampled it in October 2013 at the David’s Tea in Metrotown and instantly fell in love – bought a 100g tin, and went back a couple months later to get some for a friend.

It smells absolutely delicious dry, and just as wonderful once brewed. Water temperature definitely makes a difference to the flavour. I also love this tea because it doesn’t need anything added to it, it’s just perfect clear.

I hope David’s Tea will continue to release this every winter, because it’s definitely a staple in my cupboard.

I have some of this tea to put in my Santea Claus TTB. But of course I HAVE to try each of the teas before I send this out.

I’m loving it! perhaps it’s the vanilla stevia I added but this is terrific to me. I don’t know if it is totally “gingerbread” but it is tasty. It doesn’t have the overly sharp ginger flavor that I find in some ginger teas.

One of my favorite Christmas teas. Nice, light rooibos with a slightly sweet, gingery, spicy flavor.

Well, 7 months later, I finally got to try this tea. I gave into my own laziness and bought a bunch of paper tea filters. I know it’s better to give tea the space to expand, but I find I’m usually too tired to clean out metal filters, and compromise with easy sachets.

Rarely do I neglect my lovely collection of looseleaf teas now! This being one of my favorite rooibos it’s perfect for a pre-bedtime cup. Malty and sweet, it reminds me David’s Oh, Canada! which I also previously preferred as a bedtime tea. Not as zesty or spiced, as I would have thought, which is a welcome surprise.

Shadowfall threw this in as a freebie when she sent me my purchases from her recent stash sale. Thanks! I am always on the lookout for more caffeine free options, so I was excited to try this one. The dry leaf smells delicious! It’s definitely very cookie, but I can also smell the lovely spices. Steeped for 5 minutes.

The aroma is also high in cookie smell, which got me pretty excited. Overall, the taste is a little weak, but I would just use more tea if I were to purchase this. I would probably describe this as more of a snickerdoodle than a gingerbread tea, because the cookie is the main event, and it’s quite buttery and creamy. The spices are more of a lovely accent to the cookie. Taa-daa snickerdoodle cookie tea! I sweetened mine, as I tend to do with flavored teas. I would absolutely purchase this, too bad it’s a seasonal thing and who knows if David’s will even have it again this winter season… Shadowfall, how could you?! :P
