drank Big Apple by DAVIDsTEA
68 tasting notes

At first sip, this tea left a bittersweet impression. My first thoughts were of the morning, with feelings of grogginess overtaking everything including the ability to get out of the rustling sheets of your very comfy bed. Upon the second sip, I fell in love and woke up to the tea. Memories of the morning stillness overclouding my mind and the words of Phillip Pullman and his series are what I wanted.

Books recommended to go with this tea are: His Dark Materials Series by Philip Pullman, especially the Golden Compass.

Flavors: Apple, Apple Skins

An anytime tea

I enjoy the tea for its versatility. It’s not heavy nor it is too light. It’s just perfect for any day, any occasion.

One of those get up and go anywhere tea, just beckoning you to take it along on an adventure and explore something beautiful today, even if it just errands.

Books recommended to go with this tea are: Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier, Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, The Annunciation of Francesca Dunn
by Janis Hallowell.

drank Mango Madness by DAVIDsTEA
68 tasting notes

This tea reminds me of summer with its aroma. It reminds me almost of a sweet candy. Takes me back to the days where I lived in a city with the street vendors who sold mangoes on a stick, they would cut it right in front of you, shaping it like a lollipop and add chili powder at your request before sending you on your way. This tea is beautiful in that manner with the tasting of it sweet and even sweeter in it’s memories.

Books recommended to go with this tea are: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Marquez Garcia, Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel.

Preparation

drank Chocolate Rocket by DAVIDsTEA
68 tasting notes

A beautiful smelling tea. Perfect for any time, and for a pickup. With a name like chocolate rocket and a bit of a stimulant added for a kick, this is one time that you can take on the go, but at the same time enjoy while socializing. Definitely smell the ‘chocolate’ and the almonds are a nice touch.

Books that will go well with this tea are:

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, Holes by Louis Sachar, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

Flavors: Cocoa

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 7 OZ / 207 ML

drank Goji Pop by DAVIDsTEA
68 tasting notes

This tea was light and beautiful. Like a hint of summer on a cold day. As for the taste aspect, I like that it rolled off my tongue and while the flavor was not as potent as I expected it, the overall impression I have from it is positive. Definitely a must have for those that like their tea not to have a so serious attitude. I just had a sampling of it.

Books that will go well with this tea are Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy M. Montgomery, Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit, and Shanghai Girls by Lisa See.

drank Pomegranate Green Tea by Tetley

I got this tea at a steal and it has been my go to tea for something quick and tasty. I add honey sometimes, along with milk and it brings it to another level.

A recommendation for people not into loose leaf tea.
