Product Review: DAVIDsTEA Spring Collection #sponsor

This sponsored post is written by me on behalf of DAVIDsTEA. All opinions are my own. 

Earlier this month I received - and reviewed - some products from DAVIDsTEA. Click to read my thoughts on their ME to WE line.


To review the DAVIDsTEA's Spring Collection, I received a stainless steel travel mug, a stainless spoon, and three different kinds of tea. It's almost as if they read my mind. My comments about the first package were that there was no real guideline of how much tea to use for each 6 to 8 ounces of water - enter the spoon! - and that I tend to steer clear of plastic - enter the stainless steel mug!


I received three different kinds of tea. With the pink mug and caffeinated tea albeit lightly caffeinated tea, I got to keep everything to myself. Jake doesn't drink caffeine. So...it's mine. All mine.


I received Monk’s Blend, a delicious and delicate blend inspired by the tea traditions of rural Chinese monks. The legend goes that these monks begged for their tea every morning, receiving only whatever people had on hand. This resulted in an intriguing melange of many different tea types. 

The second tea I received was Fruits of Paradise which includes soupsop blended with coconut, sweet pineapple, green tea and chamomile flowers. It's almost like a warm, comforting piña colada. And the third tea selection was White Nectarine. At its base is the sweet, mellow white Bai Mudan tea with stone fruits and herbaceous blackberry leaves.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the teas. I loved using the measuring spoon for a perfect cup every time. And I was thrilled with my new pink travel mug. Thanks so much!!

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
