CelticBrew drank Nutty & Spice by DAVIDsTEA

91 tasting notes

I stopped in at DAVIDs this weekend for my free birthday tea. I left with 160 grams of Nutty and Spice too. I just loved the aroma of this one and had to try some – it smells like holiday baking to me. There’s something warm, cozy and comforting to it. Like what you’d expect being home for the holidays to smell like. The flavour is a lovely mix of spices, nuts, fruit and baking. It’s definitely channeling the flavours and smells of a holiday fruit cake or Christmas cake. I never tried Bubbie’s Baklava tea to compare, but if it’s like this one, I’m sure I would have adored that too.

Flavors: Apple, Butter, Cinnamon, Fruity, Nutty, Pastries

Preparation

185 °F / 85 °C 6 min, 0 sec 5 g 12 OZ / 355 ML

Bio

I’m a mid-thirties tea loving guy on the West Coast of Canada. Only really got into tea in the last 6 years largely because my exposure to tea was always bagged rather than loose before that. It wasn’t long for me to become hooked with loose leaf tea though.

My favourites are fruity black teas, chocolate and dessert teas and fruit/nut blends.

Other interests include films, meditation, reading, writing and computer games.

Working on living healthier and sweet teas are a nice alternative to full desserts and other sugary snacks and drinks for me.

I only rate teas once and use the following spectrum:
100 – Only one tea receive this from me. It’s that good.
95 – Only three teas receive this from me. They are that good.
90-94 – These are top rated teas for me but fall just short of my top 4 or ultimate tier teas.
80-89 – Very pleasant, enjoyable. Would definitely purchase again but wouldn’t necessarily rush out for it.
70-79 – Decent teas. They had their charm while they lasted but I’m undecided about buying them again.
60-69 – Alright teas. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing amazing either. Unless it’s on sale, I won’t buy again.
50-59 – Meh, I can take or leave this. There’s something about it that borders on dislike for me.
40-49 – Sorry this one’s just not for me.
30-39 – Definitely not for me. Wasn’t able to finish it.
0-29 – How dare they call this “tea”.
