Jessie's Tea - David's Tea

Where to buy:  David’s Tea

Description:  WISH YOU HAD A JESSIE'S TEA

Let’s face it, we all get stressed out sometimes. But everyone seems to have a different way of dealing with it. Some people relax with a hot bath. Others go for aromatherapy. And if you’re anything like us, you reach for a sweet treat. But this pretty, soothing tea is a little bit of all three. It’s got soothing rooibos to warm you up. Fragrant lavender to help you unwind. And creamy coconut to satisfy any craving. It’s like having your own personal spa.

Ingredients:  Rooibos, honeybush, coconut bits, lavender, blue cornflowers, natural and artificial flavoring

My Review:

Upon opening my little pouch of Jessie’s Tea, the first thing that I noticed is how pretty this tea actually is. Little purple flower petals and buds are speckled throughout the rooibos and small pieces of coconut add little white flecks of contrast. This tea smells perfume-y with a definite lavender scent.

The recommended brewing is 1.5 tsp. of Jesse’s Tea, water heated to 98 degrees Celsius (or 208 degrees Fahrenheit), steeped for 4-7 minutes. I brewed a double serving (my tea cup is huge!) for 5 minutes and added a little honey and milk.

The scent of brewed Jessie’s Tea honestly reminds me of the subtle taste that vomit leaves in your mouth (however my sister claims that it smells like lavender – I guess to each their own). Once I got over the initial smell I was actually pleasantly surprised with the flavor. The flavor is very much lavender with a tiny undertone of sweet coconut. I found this tea to be very soothing and strangely comforting. I can’t wait until my next cup!

Aside from the brewed scent of this tea, the only complaint that I have is that the rooibos is very tiny and a bunch of it escaped from my steeper. Other than that, this tea actually quite enjoyable.
