Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
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!

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
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.

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!

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.

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.

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
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.

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

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.

Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
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.
Re: David's Tea Advent Calendar 2013
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....
