Let me preface by saying that I hate Coco Colada, so I was quite reluctant to try this tea. I finally gave it a shot and enjoyed it a lot. I had it iced and let it steep for a good while. It was like drinking a strawberry fruit punch, but milder. I felt it was missing the creamy coconut flavor that Coco Colada had (which I did not enjoy), so it was perfect for me. You can still taste the coconut and pineapple in there, but the hibiscus and strawberry pack the punch.

I honestly didn’t think I would like this tea as I’m not a huge fan of Rooibos. I took one sniff and didn’t love the smell, but tried it anyway. I am pleasantly surprised! It is mildly fruity (or vegetable-y) with a hint of sweet and spice. I didn’t feel I needed to add anything to it as it’s quite flavorful. What surprised me was that there’s a hint of that licorice root at the end and i don’t mind it (and I hate licorice). It’s a nice fall tea for sure!

A really nice black tea fitting for winter season. Not too overpowering with the sweetness, with a creamy taste and a tiny hint of peppermint. It’s a nice breakfast blend for me and can be enjoyed with some milk and sugar.

This tea really fits the season. It’s your perfect cinnamon, clove, caramel with a hint of fruit and green tea flavors, sipping by the window kind of tea. It’s the definition of wintertime coziness!

Flavors: Apple Skins, Butterscotch, Caramel, Cinnamon, Cloves, Green

This is a nice fall/winter cinnamon black tea. I think it is a little less packed with flavor as some of the other teas this season (like Pumpkin Chai or Cardamom French Toast), but still a nice mild Xmas-y tea. It’s not too sweet and not too spiced.

Flavors: Butter, Cinnamon, Cloves

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 45 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

This was my go-to summer tea (usually iced). It’s fruity and yummy, not too tart and not too sweet, like a mild version of fruit punch juice, but in tea form and packed with natural ingredients!

Flavors: Apple, Berries, Fruit Punch, Fruity, Goji, Hibiscus, Melon

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 15 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I love pear and ginger, but the ginger in this one was a bit too overpowering to the point that it was spicy. The pear came through, but it was on the artificial side. I would probably try to drink this again when I have a sore throat.

I really wanted to love this one, but tried a couple of times and just couldn’t have more than a few sips, hot or iced. I think it might be good as a cocktail base, but I found the flavors much to artificial and the aftertaste awful. It was just too creamy and oily for me.

Flavors: Artificial, Coconut, Creamy, Pineapple, Toasted

This is the perfect sweet and spiced black tea. I love that it tastes just like french toast with a hint of cardamom. It reminds me of cardamom pastries from Sweden which I absolutely couldn’t get enough of. I like it with a bit of milk and sugar, although it is already a bit sweet. It’s great as a dessert tea, but I like it first thing in the morning for breakfast and for brunch.

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Butterscotch, Caramel, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Maple Syrup, Spices, Sweet

I love drinking tea! I like to start my day off with a nice black tea (even better if it goes well with some milk and sugar), followed by a green or oolong tea after lunch and a nice fruit infusion in the afternoon. I am obsessed with DavidsTEA, and only use their tea presses (hot and cold) and mugs when I can.

Since I live in Europe now, I have to depend on family and friends to send me care packages with DavidsTEA goodies. Locally, I enjoy Tee Gschwendner, TeeKontor, Die Tee-Passage, Tete a Tete, and Palais des Thés.
