3/25/2015

Last week a co-worker told me about DAVIDsTEA and I knew right away that I had to check it out.  Their website has amazing pictures of their loose-leaf tea and great descriptions for each flavor.  I started shopping around and before I knew it I had not only qualified for free shipping after spending $50 but had also qualified for a free gift for spending over $100!  Despite spending a small fortune, I really felt like I got a lot for my money.  Here's everything I bought:
  • Silver Starburst Glass Mug
  • David's Perfect Spoon
  • Main Squeeze (mate tea)
  • Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait (herbal tea)
  • Pink Lemonade (rooibos tea)
  • Berry Poppins (herbal tea)
  • Birthday Cake (rooibos tea)
  • Vanilla Chai (organic chai tea)
  • Midsummer Night's Dream (herbal tea)
  • Garcinia Goodness (organic pu'erh tea)
  • Mint Chocolate (rooibos tea) (x2) 
  • Tea for One teapot/teacup set (free)
  • Silver tea tin (free)
  • Three samples of tea (free)

See what I mean about getting a lot for my money?  That's nine different teas plus a mug, spoon, and a teapot/teacup set!  And even better, my order confirmation email said I should get the package on April 26 and it actually came one day early!

Here are the pictures I took of my package and the contents.

I love how colorful the box is! It even matched the Tone It Up sweatshirt I'm wearing today!

The text on the box is hard to read, but it says "The Perfect Tea Mug"

The whole shebang!
Now I'll share links to each of the flavors I selected and also show the great pictures of the loose leaf tea from the website.

Main Squeeze

GREET THE DAY: We all know the classic morning ritual: a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice. But what if you could get your energy boost and fresh-squeezed fruity taste all in one cup? We’re serious. Shake up your old routine with this fruity maté blend, and you may never go back. It’s got the juicy flavour of orange, papaya and pineapple, plus the high-energy punch of green yerba maté. Just one sip and you’ll feel alert, refreshed and ready for anything. Say hello to your new main squeeze. (MK Kosher)

INGREDIENTS:
Green yerba maté, candied papaya, pineapple, safflower, natural flavouring.

Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait

PICTURE PARFAIT: The ancient Chinese used it in medicine. The medieval Europeans traded for it along the Silk Road. And today we love it in pies, sauces, muffins or just plain, dipped in a little sugar. But the best way to eat rhubarb is with sweet, ripe strawberries. Like in this refreshingly fruity, deep red tisane. It tastes as bright and juicy as a fresh-picked berry, with a tart rhubarb punch and a subtle hint of yogurt creaminess. We love it hot or iced, or as the base for sweet, zippy sangria. Now that’s a beautiful thing. Caffeine-free.

INGREDIENTS:
Apple, hibiscus, raisins, carrot, yogurt bits, beetroot, strawberry, rhubarb, natural and artificial flavouring.

Pink Lemonade

THINK PINK: When life gives you lemons, reach for this zippy hot pink blend. One sip is enough to turn any frown upside down. Not only is it packed with rooibos, hibiscus and other good-for-you stuff, it’s also unbelievably delicious any way you drink it. Served hot, it’s a tart and tasty throat soother. On ice, it’s an addictively tangy summer refresher. And if you really want to take it to the next level, freeze it into ice cubes and blend them up with some agave and a splash of vodka. Hello, grown-up slushie. (MK Kosher)

INGREDIENTS:
Hibiscus, mango, lemon peel, rooibos, lemon myrtle, lemongrass, stevia, cornflower petals, natural and artificial lime, lemon and sugar cane flavouring.

Berry Poppins

BERRY BERRY QUITE CONTRARY: Rich, dark, sweet and addictive – is there anything more delicious than a perfectly ripe blackberry? Not that we can think of. And with this unbelievably fruity tea, you can capture that fresh-off-the-bush taste anytime, anywhere. Served hot, it’s like a warm slice of blackberry pie. Over ice, it’s like a scoop of blackberry sorbet. With apple, hibiscus, rosehips and blackberry, it’s better than good…It’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

INGREDIENTS: 
Apple, hibiscus, blackberry leaves, orange peel, rosehips, rose petals, artificial blackberry and cream flavouring.

Birthday Cake

PARTY LIKE IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY: What’s the best thing about birthdays? It could be the presents, or spending time with loved ones, but let’s be honest. It’s all about the cake. With vanilla icing, and lots of sprinkles. And this sweet and festive rooibos blend brings the taste of birthday cake to your cup any day of the year – sprinkles and all. Best of all, not only is it low in calories, it also has all the goodness of rooibos. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

INGREDIENTS:
Red and green rooibos, honeybush, sprinkles, ice cream bits, natural and artificial flavoring.  Contains milk, eggs and soy.

Vanilla Chai (organic)

CHAI SOMETHING NEW: There’s no better way to warm up a chilly winter day than a hot cup of chai. The combo of rich black tea and exotic spice is like a cup of pure comfort. And this spicy black tea blend turns up the heat even more with a sweet and creamy hint of vanilla. It’s as cozy as a teddy bear wearing a scarf. In front of a roaring fire. While cuddling with a puppy. Try it with milk and sugar for a warming treat that’ll have you wishing for snow.

INGREDIENTS:
Organic: Cinnamon, black tea, licorice root, ginger, vanilla. With natural vanilla and cream flavouring.

Picture
Midsummer Night's Dream

SUMMER LOVE: This citrusy-mint tea is refreshingly magical, with sweet apples, cool spearmint, tart gooseberries, orange oil, and petals of marigold and rose. But before you take a sip, we should probably warn you that it’s a bit of a love potion. For some people, it seems to turn regular summer evenings into dreamlike nights of romance and enchantment. Ice it and see what happens. Caffeine-free.

INGREDIENTS:
Apple pieces, spearmint, freeze-dried whole cape gooseberries, marigold blossoms, safflowers, rose petals. With artificial flavouring.

Picture
Garcinia Goodness (organic)

GOODNESS GRACIOUS: We all sometimes need a little after-dinner relief. Next time, reach for this earthy, citrusy tea. It combines pu’erh and garcinia – two traditional metabolism boosters. Haven’t heard of garcinia? It’s a small tropical fruit that looks a bit like a mini pumpkin. And in its native Asia, it’s been used as a natural appetite suppressant for centuries. Here we blend it with black tea, pu’erh, orange peel and hibiscus, for a rich, earthy tea you can feel good about drinking. The perfect end to any meal.

INGREDIENTS:
Organic: Black tea, puerh tea, orange peel, hibiscus, garcinia, stevia, red cornflower. With natural orange flavouring.

Picture
Mint Chocolate Rooibos

FRESHLY MINTED: You won’t want anything else for dessert when you taste this tea. Even the aroma is totally satisfying. Minty fresh, with hints of dark chocolate and rich vanilla. Pour it and admire the coppery red of the rooibos, then take a sip and sink into its velvety sweetness. You can’t help but fall in love.

INGREDIENTS:
South African rooibos, chocolate, cacao, peppermint, natural and artificial chocolate flavouring*. Contains soy. May contain milk.

So those are the nine different teas I selected.  I have already tried a couple and they taste as good as they sound!  If you are interested in trying them out make sure to use the code TEAFORONE if you spend $100 so you can get the free teapot/teacup set!
