27 Tasting Notes
Prepared this tea and drank it hot. I actually prepared this two different times and each time was so let down. I expected a vibrant chai based on the description and the ingredient listing, however, this is the weakest chai I have ever had. The tea was steeped long enough and the black tea was there but no spice. I could see spice in the tea but it didn’t transmit to the cup. Also, the tea is not loose leaf full leaves, rather small tea bits that look to have been crushed and torn, similiar to the tea you would find in a tea bag. This resulted in the black tea flavor being very generic. I hate to say this, but, this is the worst Chai tea I have ever had, and I have had a lot of chai teas (that is my favorite tea!!!!)
Flavors: Cinnamon, Tea
Preparation
I am not a huge green tea fan however I actually really like this one. It tastes nutty and light. I had this as a hot tea however I think it would be excellent iced too. I worry though after looking at the ingredients that since they add artificial flavors to the tea that is what I am tasting. I don’t care for the fact Davids tea adds artificial flavors to their teas, I would prefer all natural flavors. I do like this tea though, it is a great green tea for those of us who are not huge green tea fans.
Flavors: Nutty
Preparation
Artificial and natural flavourings are usually chemically identical! the only difference is how they’re produced, but in reality that won’t affect the flavour — not that I’m jumping to defend davidstea I don’t really like the company that much anymore it’s just something that I think is interesting :)
I prepared this today per the instructions in the Davids Tea perfect pitcher. It was not bad, however, I would not buy it again. There is nothing amazing about the tea, just a pretty generic fruity flavor. I think I would like it more had it been stronger, however, since I followed the directions it came out too weak. Next time I will steep for double the time.
Preparation
I had high hopes for this tea. It seems that the pepper and cardamom dominate here. I don’t really taste any hazelnut at all. I prepared this with rock sugar and some soy milk as this is a very heavy and thick tea. I like it, don’t get me wrong, just thought it would have more of a hazelnut flavor
Preparation
Very light and tasty! This smelled almost spicy because of the peppercorn but.the flavor is very mellow, it is.not overly apple-tasting, just a mild fruity flavor, reminds me of revolution white tea in pear, this is a very enjoyable tea.
Flavors: Apple
Preparation
I ordered the same of this tea from Adagio. I have tried it several times but just don’t care for it. It has an odd taste to it, does not taste like pumpkin, all I can say is that it tasted off. I tried it with rock sugar, sugar in the raw, with almond milk, creamer, etc. and I just could not get it to taste very good. Luckily I am out of the sample. I was really disappointed in this one as most of the reviews on Adagio said it was really good.
