MooKiwi drank Apple Custard by DAVIDsTEA

165 tasting notes

I had a to-go cup of this the other day and have to say I’m rather disappointed. The smell of the dry blend is very sweet and almost has caramel notes to it (probably from the golden raisins). The first few sips of the tea were quite pleasant and really similar to the smell. But after a few minutes, it became quite bitter and sour. I think if I were to try this again, I would definitely steep it for a lot less time- maybe as little as 2 minutes. I really didn’t taste much apple in the tea either. I would say that this tea promises a lot but delivers very little.

Flavors: Bitter, Caramel, Sour

Bio

I am a tea fanatic and have also recently made the transition from vegetarian to vegan! I always have tea in my hand and in my overflowing cupboard!

I prefer black, green and white teas. I have recently discovered mate and oolongs. So far I’ve enjoyed them however, I have not tried very many. I am not often a fan of rooibos as I tend to find them overly woody but have found there to be some exceptions. As for herbals, I am only recently beginning to drink these on a regular basis (mostly iced) as the weather gets warmer, but these I am willing to try. I have not yet developped the taste for pu’erh.

I tend to only rate and review the teas I drink once (maybe twice if my opinion REALLY changes; especially if I were to have them prepared a different way). I currently only use Steepster for logging my reviews of David’s Tea although I do drink teas from many different companies. Every time I visit the store, I try something new in a cup to-go as I enjoy going through the tea menu and marking off teas as I try them. My goal is to try them all!

My rating system is as follows:
90-100: Wecome to my permanent collection! (worthy of a 100g tin!)

75-90: Definetly would drink again but maybe not all the time. I would buy a small amount (50g or less) to have once in a while.

50-75: I will finish the cup but not my favourite.

25-50: I will try to finish the cup but may not be able to.

0-25: Not my cup of tea…down the sink we go!
