12 Tasting Notes
Salted caramel, usually i love stuff that has caramel in the title like Starbucks Salted Caramel hot chocolate or Presidents Choice’s new Salted Toffee Cheesecake pops. So it was safe to say that i would probably like this tea.
When i got the chance to smell it at the store i couldn’t really smell anything at all, but i decided to give it a chance. I bought a 3$ cup of tea. And honestly i only usually put milk and a tiny bit of sugar in the black teas that i drink. After letting this tea cool for like what seemed an hour i finally took a sip and it tasted like warm milk water so i had to add a tone more sugar before i could taste anything at all. Therefor i would not reccommend this tea for anyone who likes their tea without milk and sugar.
I tried this one today when i went into the store to pick up some new teas to replenish my stock. They were giving out free samples of this one in the store, and i should let you know that i am not a huge fan of fruity teas at all.
However i was pleasently surprised by this tea, the fruity flavour of most teas are some times overwhelming and i usually end up leaving the tea bag in too long and it always turns out bad. But i would say that this tea is really good if your not a huge fan of fruity teas but want to try one or a christmas one or even a herbal one.
So i tried this one, based on a friends reccommendation. I am not a huge fan of cookie dough icecream, but i do love eating the raw cookie dough out of those pilsbury packages and when i make a homemade batch of cookies.
So i was kind of weary to try this one, and after i waited about 30mins for it to cool down since i purchased the cup from davids tea for 3$ at the store, i took a sip and it was SOOOOOO good.
It taste exactly like a pilsbury cookie dough package, but without all that raw egg. So you should definatley try this tea if you are a fan of cookie dough, but are not interested in getting samonella or any other type of food poisoning.
So my father drinks this tea all the time, we have like a case of it in the cupboard. Not like one of those little green boxes i mean like a cardboard case with six of those green boxes inside.
Me being a new tea person, i decided to see what all the fuss was about and brewed myself a cup one day from may dads stash and it was actually pretty good, compared to the kinds that you get at your local Chinese resturaunt which i have tried multiple times and still think it taste like dirty water, this higgins and burkes brand is a step way up!
So I finally got around to purchasing some Banana Nut Bread before they took it off the shelves for the winter collection. I am not 100% sure if tea goes bad or how long it sits there or if the stuff at the bottom of the canister is dried out. I only bought 25g to test it out cause my friends have told me how its the best one they have. However when i took it home and brewed my first cup i was kind of disappointing, i don’t taste banana at all just nuts. Which is not a bad thing because i do love Forever Nuts but i really was hoping to taste banana :(
So I went to David’s Tea this morning hoping to try Sleigh Ride cause I hear its good if you like Forever Nuts by David’s Tea also. However they didn’t have it in store yet cause it is part of their winter collection that doesn’t come out till later this week. So the lady that served me brought over a few similar ones that she thought I might like to try, and she highly recommended “Mamma Mia”. It was absolutely disgusting. It has a tart lemony flavour to start and an after taste of like tart berry lemon tree bark. What was even more gross was when the tea cooled down and I decided to give it another chance and ended up gagging.
Do Not Try This
I tried this tea last week at my friends house, without adding any milk, sugar, honey or agave. It was pretty good, but i couldn’t really taste the pumpkin as much as i could smell it. I think there needs to be more pumpkin and less chai flavours. But thats just me.
