Reminds me of Camellia Sinensis’ Tan Huong but a bit weaker. Not bad but won’t be buying more.

drank Snow Day by DAVIDsTEA

The sound of a white chocolate and mint herbal tea sound very interesting. I already love Read My Lips, which is a chocolate and mint black tea so I thought Snow day would be its caffeine-free version. First, the smell is awfully repelling, it’s like a very strong mint, the kind you would find in a cleaning product. The tea itself is not so bad: the mint is not as strong and we can taste more the chocolate. It’s nowhere as good as Read My Lips but it’s worth trying.

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’m a curious person, I always love to discover new things, new teas, new brands.

I’ve tried several things from David’s Tea as it is the most accessible tea store in Montréal and that there is no minimum amount when buying in bulk. I’ve also tried a few teas from Camellia Sinensis and Kusmi, but their minimum amount makes me try less things.

I would really like to try new brands, especially French brands such as Mariage Frères, Dammann Frères, le Palais des thés and Fauchon. There’s also a lovely tea store in Québec city called «Monsieur T» that I would like to try.
