Davids Tea - Carrot Cake

DavidsTea oh how you tempt me!  Look at this tempting image on their website.  Oh carrot cake how I love thee!  Carrot cake flavoured tea!  Mmmmm.  Has anyone tried this flavour yet?  Is it good?  I can't wait until my trip to Moncton November 1st so I can pick some up!  If you tried it, please let me know what you think! :)  This carrot cake fan is desperate to know. ;)

Feel like dessert without the calories? Then you’ve found your new best friend. This green tea and fruit blend has Oolong tea from Taiwan, apple pieces from Turkey, carrot flakes from Sri Lanka, coconut shreds from The Philippines and you’d swear the frosting was straight from Grandma’s kitchen – because you can even taste that too! Spices, frosting, carrots and no calories? Dessert lovers everywhere can rejoice – it’s good to the last crumb.

DavidsTea Heaven!

I’m in Moncton for the CanFitPro conference taking place tomorrow morning and I am VERY happy right now.  I finally got my hands on some hemp cream from Razors Edge and I got to do some shopping at DavidsTea.  The staff at the store were extremely knowledgeable about the teas and very friendly.  I got a free cup of vanilla oolong tea and the kids got sweet iced tea.  It was incredible!  The staff took down numerous tins so I could smell the different teas.  I could have stayed there much longer talking and sampling if the kids would have let me.   In the end I settled on the following for myself:

• Tin of The Skinny
• Tin of Read My Lips
• Sweet Indulgence

I also decided to splurge a little and buy a set of nice tea cups.   I will be having that tea party sometime soon when I get back home everyone! In the meantime I better get some rest!  Big day ahead of me tomorrow morning

Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos Tea Review

I had a lovely surprise in one of my magazines this weekend.  A free sample of Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos tea.  I unfortunately can’t confirm *which* magazine this fell out of because Roy brought home a bundle of 5 magazines and it just fell out of one and was sitting on the table.  I’m taking a break from working on the basement and sipping it right now.  I’m so impressed that I decided to do a blog post right away while the flavor is pleasing my taste buds.

The flavor is delicious!  I’m a big DavidsTea fan but I think I will have to add this to my collection.  I received a coupon for a $1.00 off so added bonus!

I wonder if you can buy this by the cup at Starbucks in town?  Like a coffee to go at Tim Hortons?  I have yet to enter Starbucks so I honestly don’t know.  I’m going to assume you can but if anyone knows please let me know.  I may have to make a stop on my from work sometime this week.

I heard that DavidsTea also makes an amazing Vanilla Oolong tea and to be fair I haven’t tried theirs yet.  I plan on adding it to my next order which will be soon.  Keep an eye out for a future blog post comparing these two teas.

Secret Weapon–Davids Tea Review

It’s time to review another one of my teas from DavidsTea.  This time I’m reviewing a tea from the 2011 Resolution Collection called the Secret Weapon.

Description

Kick-start your immune system

This blend just might give you the edge you need to stay healthy. It’s a white Bai Mu Dan, so it’s naturally high in immunity-enhancing antioxidants. Plus it contains licorice and goji berries, a Chinese wonder food reputed to have 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. The best part? The almonds and cocoa nibs. They don’t fight colds, but they make this an amazingly tasty weapon of choice.

Review

The first thing I noticed opening the package was the abundance of sliced almonds and the beautiful colors. It almost looked to pretty to boil.  Check out the picture!

As expected the almond flavour is very strong but you get a hint of the berries which is nice.  I won’t claim it’s my favourite but I enjoy having it as part of my Resolution Collection.  I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

Buttered Rum Tea Review

 

I felt it was time to review another one of my teas from DavidsTea.  I think hands down this one is my absolute favourite!

Description

Yo ho ho-conut

Hot buttered rum is so delicious we want it all day long. Unfortunately, most employers frown on workplace drunkenness, so we came up with this rich and creamy alternative. Toasted coconut and vanilla beans mingle with black tea in a caramelized caress of flavours. Decadent hot or iced, it also blends perfectly with dark rum, brown sugar and a dash of milk – so go ahead and indulge your inner pirate, off the clock.

Review

I absolutely LOVE this tea!!!  It smells delicious and tastes the same!  The kids and I just got back from an outdoor sledding party.  The kids had cookies and hot chocolate.  I opted out and waited to get home and make a cup of this tea instead.  Equally as satisfying and ZERO calories.  Not overly sweet and yummy!  I will definitely be ordering this one again!  If you are a tea drinker and enjoy sweet drinks you absolutely have to add this to your order list.  You will love it!
