Just like juice. I feel like they either made this tea for people who like juice but don’t want the calories and the sugar or they made this for people who are more into summer iced teas and DT doesn’t want to loose those customers in the winter. Someone suggested in his review to eat it instead. I must say it made a very good oatmeal topping… except when I had the hibiscus bits.

Too sour! Yikes! Next time I’ll try it with the minimum time instead.

I don’t really like the original version of Saint-Pétersbourg because the flavouring is too subtle. The flavours are still subtle here but it looks like I don’t mind it as much in a green tea. Beautiful rolled gunpowder leaves.

We have to be careful with this capricious tea. I am steeping it at 75’c for 2 minutes. I like the smell very much (even if it seems like they just dabbed a few drops of almond essence into grassy green tea). The almond smell is much more subtle once steeped.

Lovely taste of cherry and strawberry! Perfectly balanced between fruit aromas and black tea. I had many bad experiences with fruits in tea with Davidstea but Four red fruits breaks the wheel!

Nice! Somehow, it reminds me of Buttered Rum . There are far more exciting teas from Davidstea and this one doesn’t stand out but still, nice.

I like the smell of the dry leaves but once steeped it smells … moldy? Yikes!! Reading the other reviews, it seems like the other people didn’t drink the same tea as I did… because I couldn’t drink more than three sips!

I taste some cinnamon, … But where’s the chocolate? In my opinion, Chocolate Chili chai from Davidstea does a better job in the same kind. It’s a nice tea still, I’m just disappointed because I had some expectations.

I burned my sample of this by following DT’s steeping instructions :( It says to use a water at 90’c which is (now that I think of it) odd since it’s a blend of green tea (usually requires water at 85’c) and white tea (usually requires water around 75’c). So, yeah, my first cup was undrinkable. The dry leaves smelled nice though (although maybe too fruity for me) and the leaves were beautiful too. I resteeped it with proper settings and, well, I have less to say about it. Nothing special, not my kind!

Decaffeined tea. This is great for me because I was nervous all week. I don’t need caffeine on top of that! Nice cup but there is no wow factor. Actually, I can’t say I really taste the vanilla… so I’ll enjoy what’s left of it without buying more.
