DAVIDsTEA
Guys. Let’s chat.
So, I have an obsessive personality. Sometimes I get obsessed with things like penny roulette. Or the history of the Titanic. Sometimes its dark chocolate. And sometimes I become obsessed with something awesome….which is what is currently going on in my life.
Hello my name is Alexis, and I am OBSESSED with DAVIDsTEA.
I had read about DAVIDsTEA (and yes, that is how it is spelled by the brand, so that is how I’m going to spell it) in quite a few places for a while now. It kept coming up so much that finally I figured I should check it out. DAVIDsTEA is a shop that sells an amazing variety of teas! Like over 100 different flavors! I had heard how awesome their dessert teas were and knew I needed to try them. And boy, I’m glad I did!
There are only three stores in Chicago (don’t worry, you can also buy them online!) and I tried to visit one of them last weekend only to get there and find out it was closed….bummer! So earlier this week I checked out a different location (the one on Armitage, for all my Chicago folks) after work.
First of all, the people that worked there were fantastic. The girl who helped me was awesome and I feel so bad that I can’t remember her name! Anyway, I told her I was new to the brand and was curious about what was available, mentioning specifically that I was interested in the dessert teas. She was a gem! I think she brought out like 15 different tins of tea, explaining what they were and letting me smell them.
I finally narrowed down the options and bought four flavors, some disposable tea filters, and the “perfect spoon.” The girl who helped was super generous and gave me a free sample as well!
Check out these AWESOME flavors:
- Birthday Cake - It legit tastes like birthday cake. It even has sprinkles in the tea! Check out the picture above.
- Forever Nuts - So yummy! This is their top seller and I can see why. Plus the tea is pink!
- Mint Chocolate Rooibos - I don’t understand how this tea can be so amazing. It tastes so decadent and rich!
- Coconut Oolong - I’m obsessed with all things coconut and this is no exception! YUM!
- Organic Cocoa Canela - This is the one that I received for free and I’m so glad I got the chance to try it! It tastes just like Mexican hot chocolate!
Ok, so I’m sure you are wondering the same thing I was wondering when I heard all about the delish flavors. How many PointsPlus?! And the super exciting wonderful answer? ZERO! Check out their FAQ page if you don’t believe me! Each cup of tea has between 0 and 5 calories! They also have less than 1 gram of sugar in each cup.
I really like that many of them are caffeine free! I love that I can have a cup of tea that tastes like cake for dessert and it won’t keep me up all night. I’ve skipped ice cream desserts three times this week in favor of a cup of tea….that is definitely a win in my book!
I can’t wait to go back to the shop and try more flavors! Yum-tastic! Have you tried DAVIDsTEA? If so, what is your favorite flavor?
