Yay, glad you liked it too.

I had the creamy earl grey or whatever it's called. that one is great too.
The only one I have that I haven't tried yet is the Pumpkin Chai.

Ok I had Pumpkin chai this morning after my milk disaster last time. I have been scared to drink it again. I went with it black since that is how I usually like my tea and I now give it 2 thumbs up! :D So much better!!!!

This has been a very handy thread, I have gotten to try some very tasty teas that I would never had looked at in the store. I am now seeing on FB friends saying that glitter and gold is fantastic too. It seems to have very good reviews, that might be my next purchase. I also got a recommendation for the chocolate orange. That sounds like a good one too.

Me too. The plain mint tea (organic peppermint amour) is also good.

The Organic north African mint is pretty good also. It's a green tea.

Thanks for the link! I'm disappointed Santa's Secret isn't coming back this year- I guess I'll have to order some online when I finish up my stock from last year (I think I have a bit left). I'm intrigued by cocomint as well - I'm really loving coconut in tea. Interesting that they have another banana tea this season as well.

I'm having a cup of mulberry magic right now - delish!

That's pretty cool! I didn't know they did that :D

I got 2 gifts cards for my birthday so I allow myself to forget my 'finsh one flavor to buy a new one' since I don't have to pay for it :D

Wow....As a tea drinker, I appreciate all the recommendations made thus far and it just so happens that there is a DT store in Kingston on Princess street. Questions though for those that have tried numerous kinds, for a new person trying out the teas, which one of each would you suggest?

1. Herbal type

2. Caffeine free type

Thx

Forever Nuts is one of my favourite caffeine free one - it has apple and nuts in it. A bit of a natural sweetness to it. Mulberry Magic I posted above is also herbal.

DT also has a big selection of rooibos teas which are caffeine free.

My favortie herbal one is Pink flamingo and is also cafeine free. I enjoy Jessie's tea also caffeine free. Beware, this gets addictive very quickly!

Winter Teas are out! :dance:

When winter rolls around, we can’t help but fantasize about roaring fires, fresh-baked cookies and, of course, great tea. Call us old fashioned, but we still love the simple pleasures best. Which is why this is our richest, most comforting collection ever. So go ahead and warm up with cup of a dessert-inspired tea like Cookie Dough or Banana Dream Pie. Or indulge in a little nostalgia with returning fan faves Chocolate Chili Chai and Alpine Punch. Or recover from your holiday feasting with a soothing cup of Cocomint Cream. Don’t you just love this long, chilly season?

I think I will have to test out cookie dough and cocomint cream.
