David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013

[Samantha]

I liked the Forever Nuts as well!

I liked the Forever Nuts as well!

you have gone tea wild!

[scrumhalfgirl]

I've tried the next three, so I can catch-up in my playing at home!

Alpine Punch: I really liked this one the first year it came out, but now I'm not crazy about it. I generally don't like rooibos, but will drink this one (with milk and sugar)
Blueberry Jam: I've had this before and quite enjoyed it. not an every day tea, but I might buy it again.
Forever Nuts: This is one of my favourite herbals, but I drank it a couple of months ago during my major food aversion phase, and now I can't stomach it. And I have about 45 g of it at work!

[braveheart]

I am behind a few days but will catch up soon!

Blueberry Jam - I am enjoying a cup right now. I don't think I would buy a canister but it is nice.

It is a bit late for a second cup but I think I will enjoy 3 different kinds of tea tomorrow.

I know!!! I hope I don't like them all

Hey Guys,

I'm a newbie! I actually found this thread on google. Such a small world since I'm addicted to 1) Race bling 2) David's Tea! Can't wait to hear all about your advent calendars. I wasn't lucky enough to get one, Boo hoo!

I'm not that into the tea but I just wanted to say welcome here!!

blueberry jam - I liked it. I would consider buying more.

forever nuts - I didn't like it last year, this year, I'll have another cup - I didn't not like it. I won't buy it though.

Kiza didn't Forever Nuts set off a bit of an allergy in your throat?

I was pleasantly surprised with Blueberry Jam as I don't generally like fruity teas. Just not sure I would buy it again.
Forever Nuts is one of my go-to teas. I have a large tin of it at home already.

[Samantha]

Stormy Night. Will try when I get home.

I also had Forever Nuts last night - I eat trail mix so not sure why but my lips got swollen and tingly. I shall be giving away the rest of this tea.

I still need to have some Alpine Punch.

I am bringing some Stormy Night to work.

[Tori]

Well I take back what I said about Forever Nuts. While I like the taste, I have been having issues with almonds recently. I haven't eaten them since the summer, I figured a few steeped almonds wouldn't bug me but I was wrong. I have been up since 3am with a bad stomachache identical to the ones I was having earlier this year when I was eating nuts. So I won't be able to have that one again.

I do really like Stormy Night, but I thought I saw on their FB page that it is now discontinued? I think it tastes like mexican hot chocolate tea.

[Dr. S]

Sorry to read that Tori!

I had a coupong for a free 25g bag of Stormy nights at Halloween so I tasted it before. I don't LOVE it but I don't hate it. A lot of these teas are just neutral for me!

ETA: except alpine punch which I love!

I like Stormy Night as well. I have a bag at home Tori, I could swap my Stormy Night Advent tin for your Forever Nuts Advent Tin

I'm looking forward to trying this one...this one is new to me and smells yummy! Might have to have a pot at lunch.

It is not available on the website so it must be discontinued. That's dumb...why put a discontinued tea in the Advent calendar?? That's just cruel!

It did, in fact! I had forgotten that! That makes sense, since, I'm starting to think that almonds are one of my OAS triggers...

Yesterday, it was fine, oddly.

Perhaps, but a lot of people use the Calendar to sample the various teas and decide what to buy larger quantities of. It just seems counter productive, to me, to include a discontinued product.

me too!

[Irongirl]

I remember buying some (now that I'm drinking it) on sale as well.

meh - it's not one I'd buy again, nothing stands out for me.

I did tweet them though:

Hey @DAVIDsTEA - why would you put a discontinued tea (Stormy Nights) in the advent calendar? What a tease!

I'll let you know if they reply! (they are usually pretty good at replying)

Welcome! I also missed out on the calendar.

[deerdree]

i tried forever nuts today - enjoyed it! i should really buy a tin.

i don't think i'm going to be in the office for a few days so i should really bring my calendar home. so much for the fancy tea kettle at work! i thought it would inspire me to come into the office more often, but no tea is that good....
