drank Blackberry Blizzard by DAVIDsTEA
85 tasting notes

Recently I made this as an iced tea. My oldest reminded afterward that we had already tried it iced (I do not remember doing this, but if she says we did then it must have happened). This was drank faster than the Me to We by the kids, so they must like it.

Dried the leaf gave off more of a hibiscus and rose scent which was sort of disappointing since I wanted more of the blackberry to shine. Brewed the liquid is a deep pinkish purple colour with again a floral aroma. When I sipped it, I picked up more of a floral flavour while my oldest said it reminded her of honey. My little ones said it was more like water with candies (developing taste buds lol).

I am not a fan of this iced and I wish it had more of the flavour I was expecting. I am going to try this hot brewed and possibly cold brewed in hopes that it brings out more of the flavours I am desiring. If not it will not be restocked.

Flavors: Candy, Floral, Honey

Preparation
Iced 7 min, 0 sec

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
