Tomorrow is the first step on the road to surgery. So no caffeine so I’m making sure to indulge today.

This tea is perfect because I do have 3 wishes 1) To survive 2)To come out of surgery without any terrible permanent conditions and 3) To not have it too stressful for my hubby and family and friends.

Maybe I’ll have 6 cups just to cover all my bases!

Mmmm

Good luck. When is the surgery?

My internet is running sooo slow today so pardon the hasty review, I haven’t got the patience after wrestling with the browser to just load up the page!
Anyhow, I really enjoyed this despite the jasmine! I think perhaps it is a background note, and that the mere petals are ok for me to injest, it seems to be the oil that bothers me most. I wish I hadn’t asked the girl to add agave, as it hid much of the flavour. What I did get though, was amazing… except I tasted peaches. Peaches n cream! with less sweetener maybe it would be more rosy.
So… high marks for tastiness, but who knows how many more when I try it bare! yummmm

Delicious!

This tea is light, flowery, and almost…peach-tasting! I sweetened it slightly, and I very impressed with it! I probably shouldn’t be drinking black tea at this time of night, but no matter! It’s light fruitiness makes it SEEM like something herbal, so I can pretend I’m not doing something I’m going to regret when, in a few hours, I can’t sleep.

It reminds me a little bit of Lipton’s White Tea with Mango and Peach, actually! Only, you know, 100x better, and with a lighter taste. You really can taste the flowers!

Defiantly one of my new favorites.

Thanks for posting this — I’ve alsmot ordered Three Wishes three times now. I’ll definitely add it to my next David’s order.

B

Definitely worth it. I have a little line up of teas now, to help get me through NaNoWriMo and it is part of the team. :)

Michelle Butler Hallett

Go, girl! The Chai Guarana will help fer sher. Don’t despise the David’s Organic Breakfast, either.

I love the Organic Breakfast! I really like just good ole black teas, and I’m going to need them to reach my word count goals! lol.

This is pretty good for a black and green tea blend. Also blended in nicely are pretty floral notes such as jasmine as well as hints of fruit. Pretty nice combo!

1.5 tsp for 250mL water @93C. Steeped five minutes.

Because this blend contains green tea and jasmine, I decided to go a little gentler with the water than the recommended 98C.

Not sure what the “artificial flavouring” is, but this blend has a definite peachy taste to it. I don’t catch much jasmine, but I can smell roses, especially at the tea cools. Tea liquor looks like one from a dark green tea. A bitterness lurks at the edges; I think this one might get soapy is steeped too long. The blend of black and green teas in the base gives a slightly creamy mouthfeel. I’d hoped for more jasmine — and less peach — but this blend is quite agreeable

It reminds me a lot of Tazo’s Joy — the creaminess, the faint peach, and how it plays well at a lower temp.

Michelle Butler Hallett

Tried this again today at a lower temp again — guesstimating 88C (kettle at work with one setting: ON) and it’s even sweeter. It still gets a bit bitter. I’m thinking it needs to be treated like a green tea, even though DavidsTea labels it as a black tea.

This brew is much better than the last one when I made it with boiling water and it was a bitter mess.
Colour: warm golden brew
Smell: like sunflowers!
Taste: I definitely picked up on the rose note as well as the black and green teas. The other floral hints were a little lost to me. Somehow, like a couple of other people have mentioned, I got a peach/orange taste. Too me, I didn’t like this because I was expecting it to be floral. I guess I am trying to see, I was hoping it would taste more floral and less peachy. Does that make sense? lol
Still good, but the peachy flavour is a little fake tasting and weird

I had so many problems trying to make this tea last winter, but now that summer is here and I’m trying it iced, I feel like all my troubles are over. The flavor is rich and elegant, and finally the black and green tea are working with instead of against each other. It tastes like peach and rose, with an emphasis on the peach. The rose is more in the aroma. I never could taste the jasmine that’s supposed to be in this mix, and I still don’t, but neither do I miss it.

Amazing the difference temperature can make.

Backlogging:

Thanks History Laced for letting me try this tea with you in another wonderful tea tasting.

I tried this tea 1/9/13. I have a little journal that I make tasting notes in and try to put one in every time I remember to do so. I have been in bed all day and finally mustered the strength to get up and grab my journal. I am unsure as to whether this is a sample or something that she ordered online. At this tasting, this was the only tea my boyfriend got to brew before having to leave and handle school matters and consequently the only boyfriend review. Sorry everyone!

Observation 1: My boyfriend prepared this tea, steeping at boiling for 6 minutes. The dry leaves have plum and peach notes with a small hint of floral-ness.

Observation 2: Naked this tea is a bit astringent, but I suspect the kettle was too hot. This tastes sweet and vegetal with jasmine and rose as an afterthought and the black tea base dominating on the palate.

Observation 3: With raw sugar, I am reminded of perfume. The rose water dominates this blend once sweetened. The bitterness of the green tea is more noticeable.

Observation 4: I did not try this with milk or creme due to the green tea in its base, I am not fond of green tea with milk.

Observation 5: After a little while of mulling over this blend, I suffered a perfume headache.

Overall,I just seem to not like black/green blends. It is very hard to steep at the right temperature and requires too much experimentation just to be palatable for me. I think this would be an excellent green tea or an excellent black tea, but not at the same time.

Boyfriend remarks: Tastes like a flowertastic flowerific explosion! wiggles hands wildly

Got a sample of this today and tried it this afternoon.

What can I say? Yum!

This tea reminds me of midsummer night’s dream (by davidstea) because of the fruity taste, but it’s softened by the more dominant taste of the green tea… and I love the taste of green tea! The black tea taste hangs out somewhere behind these too.
This blend is going to be perfect for mornings/afternoons, especially when I’m in one of those moods where I can’t decide if I want black or green or fruit… all three! :)

Maxime-Daniel Friðrikson

This is one of the best floral tea i’ve ever tasted! So yummy :)

noordelijk

Have you tried the glow? That is by far my favourite floral tea.

Maxime-Daniel Friðrikson

Nope never! I was not attracted by this one but my friend tell me that it was actually a really nice tea.

If it’s your favorite I will maybe take a try!

I had this to-go today in an effort to knock off some of the teas I haven’t tried that I think sound okay-ish. This one falls firmly into that territory.

The description really confuses me. I got lots of fruitiness from the scent, both dry and steeped, and the flavour! Fruity and a little floral. It was quite sweet, nice and smooth. Not bad!
