Blueberry jam. Will try it when I get home tonight.
Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
I had a mug of the blueberry jam with some almond milk this morning. I'm not sure about it. It's ok, but will have to try another mug tonight to give it another chance.

I enjoyed today's tea but not enough to buy it.

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
Blueberry jam is yummy but "uncatergorized" for me. I am drinking it right now, but I likely wouldn't have it for a morning tea again. It's not a dessert tea (maybe with coffee cake?). It's not a cozy cup in front of the fire tea. It is quick blueberry jam tasting! I could see this being a yummy (cold) summer tea actually now that I think about it...

I like Blueberry Jam. I actually have a tin of it at work, so was pleased with the choice this morning.
Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
i had to peek before opening the calendar. on my way into work (which is where i keep the calendar) and i wasn't sure if i should buy a coffee. these caffeine-free choices area killing me. this one is low caffeine, but i'll take it!
Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
I like it!!! I am loving this. so far I have two I would buy. Blueberry jam smelt soooo good when it was steeping. Yum!

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
Forever nuts. I look forward to trying it tonight!
Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
Day 4 is forever nuts. I have never bought this one, but had it last year and remember thinking it was really nice. I am quite enjoying it this morning.

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
I didn't enjoy it last year. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as some of my other favourite herbals from DAVIDs. I've never bought it either.
I'm skipping the ones I've tried before and know I don't like them (or that they don't thrill me) and saving them to send to my sister so she can try some DAVIDs.

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
Mine is brewing right now to take to my 10:00 meeting. It smells so good. But I also remember not loving it last year. I liked it, but didn't love it. We'll see if my tastes have changed.

I'm wishing I had some blueberry jam tea right now.

Didn't you say you usually just drink orange pekoe? Your tea world has been blown up!

YES. and only Tetley orange pekoe. In bags. Any other tea I've tried I haven't liked - green tea, any other type. So I was reluctant to try this tea because I was sure I wouldn't like it. I wish I had done this last year. I'm SO buying a calendar next year if I can get one. Unless I hate every other tea the rest of the month.
You have NO idea. I was just saying that to Deerdree last night!
Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
I have the same opinion as a few others, it's good but not fantastic and worth buying for myself.

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
forever nuts really grew on me last year. especially after i had a guest over who raved about it. i would keep it on hand to offer guests who want a caffeine-free option, and enjoy a cup now and then myself.

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.

Well, considering it is the sister I don't like that much....

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
I'm a little behind on the thread reading. Here's my review so far:
White Chocolate Frost: I liked it. I liked the minty taste and slight sweetness. There was a chamomile undertone I didn't love
Alpine Punch: have had this one before (I think in the last calendar) and I like it, which is weird because I don't like roibos generally.
Blueberry Jam: OK. Again, a floral undertone that I didn't love
Forever Nuts: I have had this one before, but only at the store. I like it, but still not enough to buy it.
