My Review:

So, I think I've been doing way too many David's Tea reviews. My mom recently came home with this tea, and to be quite honest, I had never heard about it before. I've been having trouble sleeping recently (too much stuff on my mind), so I thought that I would give this tea a try.

There’s really nothing special to the appearance of this tea. It comes in a gold and orange box with individually wrapped tea bags inside. Each tea bag has tiny flecks of red, green and black. The tea bag itself smells strongly of nutmeg and spices, but not in the same way a s a chai. It’s a much more subdued scent.

Brewing instructions are fairly simple. Bring water to boiling and steep 5 to 10 minutes. For a stronger tea, use 2 tea bags. Drink before bedtime. I add a little milk and sugar or honey.

Once steeped, this tea has a lovely medium caramel colour to it. The nutmeg scent stays with the tea and the taste is very slightly spicy with a smooth caramel taste. There is also a slight minty feel that I get on my lips when I drink this tea, but the tea itself doesn't have a minty flavour. The rooibos adds a slight vanilla flavour and the nutmeg, cinnamon bark, cardamom, ginger root, clove bud and black pepper are not overwhelming and not nearly as strong as you find in a chai.

This is a really lovely tea. Not as flashy as a loose leaf tea, but it definitely helps me to calm down and relax. If I find that I really can’t sleep, I’ll make a cup of this tea and be out like a light! There are also so many other yummy looking flavours that I want to try!
