Another early harvest tea. I recently tried the April 2020 harvest of the Adagio Masters Shi Feng Long Jing (Dragonwell). Grown at a lung jing farm in Zhejiang, China, this delicate but tasty green tea is picked when the buds are still tender and only 3cm long then fired twice. Our 2020 Shi Feng Long Jing, […]

Adagio Masters Bai Hao Yin Zhen
It has been a while since I posted but I am back with some new tea posts. Starting with one I am really excited about. I mentioned Adagio Masters Bai Hao Yin Zhen when I reviewed Fujian Silver Needle last year. Harvested in April 2020 from the Fuding area of China, Adagio Masters Bai Hao Yin […]
Adagio Masters Collection Review
Sometimes, you just want to treat yourself to a cup of something special right?

DAVIDsTEA has a few collections coming out over the next few months. The Wellness Collection is already online to help with […]
Pure Leaf Green Tea with Mint Review
The best of both worlds. A green tea with a light mint taste from real peppermint and none of the bitter mint aftertaste. Pure Leaf incorporates long-leaf, single-origin Indonesian gunpowder green tea coupled with real peppermint leaves to deliver a cool blast of refreshment with a lingering cooling effect. Both peppermint and green tea have a […]
The Best Milk To Use in Electric Milk Frothers
I generally use 2% in my lattes as it is what we keep in the fridge. In steaming milk, the amount of proteins in the milk can make a huge difference in the type of foam you get but what about an electric milk frother? The temperatures are lower than when steaming milk and it […]
