From DAVIDsTEA

The call of the wild
Looking to get in touch with nature? Try this outdoorsy blend of wild herbs and plants handpicked in the Canadian wilderness. We swear it’s like drinking a fresh forest breeze. It has wintergreen leaves for a lightly minty taste, cedar and pine for a bright, evergreen aroma, and sumac berries to add tartness and a pretty pink colour. Overall, it’s delicately sweet and totally refreshing. Now that’s a breath of fresh air.

First off – this tea. Wow.

It is beautiful. It looks the bottom of the Rocky Mountain Forests, all green and grassy and amazing. But because it’s a bag of full leaves and grass I had a bit of a hard time ‘scooping’ out two tablespoons. It was more like grabbing stuff with my fingers and putting into my infuser until it felt like two tablespoons.

Since I felt like I didn’t put enough in I let this steep for a long time… maybe 20 minutes or more? But It was worth it. It’s not super strong or harsh or bitter or anything. Its magnificent.

What I love is the refreshing taste that’s NOT peppermint (I don’t like peppermint teas).

All in all I am so happy that I have a caffeine-free tea that is super relaxing. A perfect in bed/beforebed/daydreaming tea to relax the body and stimulate the mind.

9.50 for 25g but totally worth it, depending on how much you want to use per cup.

I am in love!
This tastes so fresh, minty, sweet, woody, and grassy.

My only complain is that it is very boreal-like, and if you’re gonna claim to be inspired by the canadian woods, you might as well do it with grandeur and put in some pine tree notes or something. But that’s all. You’re still dreamy, wintergreen woods.

“Like drinking a fresh forest breeze” says the description, and yes, that’s exactly how this feels.

I say feels, because this tea goes beyond taste. Maybe it’s the Canadian in me, but there is something very evocative about these flavours. Having just spent the weekend in the Rocky Mountains, snowshoeing around an icy glacial lake, I feel like I’m in the exact right mood to be drinking this minty, foresty brew.

I love how this looks in my glass teapot. It’s not particularly easy to measure, but I figured I’d just add some pinches and hope for the best. It’s hard to get a good mix of all the pretty things, given that some of the smaller bits tend to settle to the bottom of the bag, but I scrounged around for a bit of everything, and again, hoped for the best.

I see no hint of the pink tinge hinted at in the description, but the very clear, light brew is appealing nonetheless. The scent is like smelling a forest through a LifeSavers Wint-o-mint candy. I like it. And the flavour is very light. Less minty than I expected, but delicate and tingly. I like it.

It’s not for everyday. But it makes me feel Canadian and outdoorsy, and I like that.

If you like wintergreen gum, you’ll love this! It’s the lightest colour tea I’ve ever seen – It barely even changes the colour of the water. It tastes just like those white, wintergreen lifesavers.

How’ve I never heard of this? I thought I knew everything DT!

This is one that they sell on the merchandise shelves, rather than on the tea wall. It comes in a little box! http://www.davidstea.com/wintergreen-woods

So this was nice and minty and woodsy, a little sweet too because of the berries probably. I cold brewed it too and it was pretty good that way too. Those long stick type things that there are so much of though. They are a total pain to try to get out of the strainer. I use the Lupicia handy cooler, the strainer is long and my hand is too big to reach all the way down. It took some chopsticks to grab those long things out the bottom because no matter how I swished water around it wouldn’t come out. It made its own little nest in there, twisted up and all. It was interesting to try.

So this tea was love at first sight since I am a huge fan of wintergreen lifesavers. So I grabbed a cup to go and was smitten with the aroma that was wafting from my David’s tea cup, it was was sweet smelling just like my favorite mint. On the first sip I experienced the wonderful sweet mint flavor. As I was on my third or fourth sip I became aware of a very odd aftertaste. My tongue felt slightly numb and I decided my Wintergreen Woods love affair would come to an end after my first cup. I am disappointed that this tea did not live up to all my hopes and dreams I had for this tea. I am considering mixing this tea with a black tea to see if it eliminates the undesirable aftertaste.

ahh that is rather unfortunate! I’ve been dancing around this one trying to decide whether to buy it or not… starting to lean toward the ‘not’ end of the spectrum – numb tongues are not exactly a positive side effect for a tea to have.

kittenna shared this one with me at my request since it sounds interesting. it’s not hahaha. For me this was sort of like someone took a little toothpaste, dilluted it in a lot of water and then added a weird after taste to it. I even tried steepeing it for longer and it was just a wimpy sort of brew. oh well. i don’t have to love everything and at least i’ve tried it! thanks kittenna!!

Bear With Me

Honestly, go out to the woods and pick your own. With less wintergreen and more of the other stuff, I think it would be soooo much more satisfying.

Sil

way too much effort! lol and i have sooo many other teas! pretty sure 3 boxes are showing up this weekend..ie being rescued from mail jail

Kittenna

Yeah, it was weird.

OMGsrsly

BWM, or anyone really, do you have an actual ingredients list for this tea? I hate that DT doesn’t put the ingredients in the description box.

OMGsrsly

(Because I might be willing to go out into the woods!)
