drank Let's Chai by For Tea's Sake
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
205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 15 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

drank Toasted Walnut by DAVIDsTEA
27 tasting notes

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
185 °F / 85 °C 6 min, 45 sec

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 :)

drank Caribbean Crush by DAVIDsTEA
27 tasting notes

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
190 °F / 87 °C 8 min or more

drank Hazelnut Chai by Argo Tea
27 tasting notes

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
1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

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.

drank Pumpkin Spice by Adagio Teas
27 tasting notes

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.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML
