Mmmmm... Tea!

I do not like coffee at all! It took me until I was in university before I could tolerate even the smell of coffee. That came about because all my dorm sisters loved going to Starbucks to study. Naturally I wanted to go too so I got use to the smell. I was NOT a tea person. I've tried a number of times but I cannot stand the bitter after taste that tea leaves in my mouth. I did really love the smell though and I could not understand why it didn't taste like it smelled. I may have mentioned this before but my husband and I work with the youth group at our church and often have the students over to our house. A few of them expressed how much they loved tea. It got me thinking about trying to drink tea again (I try every couple of years because it just seems so relaxing). I have been able to down a few cups of peppermint tea if I add enough sugar. I kept hearing all these great things about David's Tea and two stores just opened in town. I had my first experience with David's Tea about a month ago and that was simply walking into the store in search of a gift for one of my youth girls (still haven't figured out what I want to get her). Every time I walk in to the store I am extremely overwhelmed! Yikes! I never knew there were different types of tea and then flavours within those types of teas. I mean they have an entire wall full of cans of loose leaf tea that they willingly take off the shelf and let you smell! Wow! I spent at least 15 minutes just sniffing tea. I also found out that the bitter aftertaste is caused from over-steeping or burning the leaves. What? You can burn tea? How does that even happen? A few weeks after that first experience I actually consumed my first cup of David's Tea! Yummy! I tried White Chocolate Frost! It is composed of peppermint (my favourite), white chocolate, pink peppercorn, stevia leaf, natural sugar flavouring, natural and artificial white chocolate mousse flavouring. I was hooked! It just so happened that this whole experience happened right around my birthday and I received a number of options for my birthday along with a sweet mug and tea pot both with infusers. I've tried peppermint amour, spearmint, and white chocolate frost. I also have Mom's Apple Pie and Nepal Black, although I think that one is more for my husband but I haven't tried either of them yet. I have a new addiction and it tastes so good!!!

What's your favourite type of tea or hot drink? Have you had a David's Tea experience?

Be joy filled!
