David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013

[Samantha]

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....

are you going to take the kettle home?

[Samantha]

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)

It's listed in the Tea Menu I got from them.

I had a cup of Stormy Night about a year ago at a David's Tea store (i.e. I bought a singe cup for take out) because it was listed as one to try if you liked Chocolate Rocket (which I love!!). I was 'meh' about it when I tried it. This time around I really loved it. Maybe because I haven' had Chocolate Rocket in a while,......

Now I want to try chocolate rocket! The name doesn't even ring a bell to me!

[Samantha]

I like Stormy Night!

[CAW]

I like Stormy Night!

I'm loving it!! I'm hoping I can buy some!

[braveheart]

I quite enjoyed Stormy Night. I put some milk and sugar in it but would like to try it black next time.
It would be a nice morning tea.

I'm not a David's Tea drinker yet, but thanks for the info on those elegant tea infusers on the first page of this thread. I finally stopped at the new David's Tea store in our mall, and bought tea infusers for two people on my Christmas list. I was in too much of a hurry today to even investigate the many teas. Next time, for sure!

[Samantha]

Genmaicha. I'm anticipating to not like this one. (But who knows )

[braveheart]

I am not anticipating liking this one either. I like to start my day off with a tea but I think I will have another cup of Stormy Night and save this tonight, just in case.

[Marg]

So the smell of this is quite off putting but it tastes like real traditional green tea. In an odd way, I liked it. I wouldn't make it a regular tea but I managed.
I skipped Stormy Night since I have a tin of it so will save it for now.

I am scared of this tea!!! It looks like bugs when I opened it up. I am off to boil some water at the office. Wish me luck!

Smells like you are burning popcorn and I really don't like the taste. Can't finish my mug.

[CAW]

as I mentioned in the DAVIDs thread...I tried this one as a hot cup to go last week...



absolutely hated it. Tossed it out after 4 sips.

I won't be even opening this one.

So far this year I've had ONE tea I liked and that was Stormy Night (which I might not even be able to buy more of). DAVIDs Advent Calendar FAIL.

[RA.]

Boy, after those rave reviews, I can't wait to try it! I don't think I'll mind it, but I'm not a fan of green tea in general.

I'm actually kind of glad - I really don't want to like every tea.

and I expected to hate every tea and I liked most of them!

[Irongirl]

For some reason....I'm craving sushi....

It tasted like regular green tea, to me!

[RA.]

Me too. I didn't mind it. But I don't care for the smell. I'll likely put the remainder in the kitchen at work.

I asked a similar question on FaceBook and they just answered me.

DAVIDsTEA Hey Kara, so sorry about the confusion. The choice to retire Stormy Night from the collection was made after the 24 Days of Tea calendars had been assembled.

aw. That makes sense. Too bad. Although it's not my favourite. I may have to steep a little less time. I liked the cup I had yesterday but didn't LOVE it.

[Dr. S]

I'm with the others on this one.... YUCK!

It smelled bad and tasted bad. LOL

[fe.RMT]

Blech as well here. Smelled like burnt popcorn and tasted like stale popcorn. I wasn't surprised, I generally am not a green tea fan.

[deerdree]

i don't normally like green tea (although i do drink it - as i said, there's rarely a tea i won't drink!). for a green tea, i like genmaicha! it's nutty.

brewing green tea is a bit of an art, though. i'm not sure i'll be able to perfect it again.

[scrumhalfgirl]

haven't tried this one, and likely won't based on the reviews!
