DAVIDsTEA takes us on a journey around the world with their new spring collection of teas. The collection features five exotic flavours inspired by several different places scattered across the globe including Daydreamer, Copabanana, Coconut Oolong, Honeydew Maté and Pom Tango. Here’s a little bit about each tea to help you pick a new flavour for this beautiful season that you will love!
Daydreamer
Green tea – Low Caffeine – $7
Taste the intoxicating flavour of green tea bursting with fruity fun. Taking you on a flight to the beaches of Thailand, the refreshing spike of mango will linger in your mouth. Just one sip and you’ll be daydreaming fruitful dreams all spring long. The flavour is comparable to peach juice and will remind you of the summer heat approaching. One of my top favourite teas from the whole spring collection, the dry but extremely delicious tea was created with the inspiration of DAVIDsTEA’s best drink invented, iced green tea with mango-flavoured ice cubes. Great to sip on while relaxing, the low-caffeine Daydreamer tea will leave you feeling like you took a refreshing bite out of a mango while sitting on the beach.
Note: If you fill half your tea ball you can steep it for up 2 cups of tea.
Honeydew Maté
Maté tea – Stimulant – $6.50
Sip on the fresh, juicy taste of honeydew melon in another one of my favourite flavours from the spring collection, Honeydew Maté. Taking you on an exciting trip to Argentina, the super energizing maté tea will work as an amazing mental stimulant. The rich melon gives the tea an impeccably sweet aroma and soothing taste. The green Yerba maté ingredient creates a smooth, all natural energy boost. Also made with the ultra healthy green roobios, this healthy and great tasting tea can be served warm or cold. Definitely steer clear of this tea at night as it acts like a stimulant and will keep you up.
Pom Tango
Black tea – Low Caffeine – $6.75
Start your mornings off with this fabulous black tea that’s infused with pomegranate seeds and large pieces of mango. Taking you on a magical trip to the fruit markets in India, the slight taste of pomegranate mixes beautifully with the overpowering mango flavor. For black tea lovers you will truly enjoy the added burst of fruity flavour. Unlike the rest of the spring collection, this tea will give your taste buds a mini break. The lightly scented tea is a refreshing mix of your average breakfast tea and a delicious juice. The lingering flavored black tea can be served hot or cold. I especially liked this tea on ice, it will make a great drink to sip in the sun as the days get warmer and the summer approaches.
Copabanana
Fruit Infusion tea – Caffeine free – $6.75
Relax with a mug of this caffeine-free fruit infused tea blend that’s bursting with banana flavour. Bringing you down to the northern parts of Havana, this ultra-fruit tea will leave you feeling like your laying on a beach. The huge banana chips are supported by almonds, apple flakes, dried strawberry, coconut and orange peel. For banana lovers, this is the tea for you! Also taking you on a trip down memory lane, the tea creates a reminisce of the banana flavoured medicine we all loved as a kid. The strong banana aroma is beautifully comforting and has you craving the banana flavour. Copabanana is the perfect type of tea to sip when relaxing late at night. Personally this tea helped calm and put me to sleep.
Coconut Oolong
Oolong tea – Med Caffeine – $8.50
Rich and creamy, this coconut oolong tea will be the perfect addition to your day. Ideal for coconut lovers, the Pao Zhong oolong tea blend is mixed solely with coconuts. The pure coconut and oolong blend tea creates a rich flavour and is quite sweet. It’s medium caffeine and completely addictive leaving you with a comforting sensation. The strong coconut scent smells of sweet steaming coconut. Even for non-coconut fans, like myself, this tea will surprise you and is a nice sweet change you will enjoy. The coconut’s flavour will slightly remain in your mouth making you really want another sip. Try not to over steep, and minimal to no sugar is our recommendation for this sweet flavoured tea.
All flavours are limited edition, so you better get to the store before you miss the chance to try any of these delicious teas! Available to purchase individually by flavours, or purchase the box set feating 25g of each flavour for $25.50. Visit DAVIDsTEA for more.
