Cat-Nap drank Blueberry Jam Organic by DAVIDsTEA

85 tasting notes

I found this tea while scouring the website for something new to try. I am either very sugar (recently diagnosed diabetic) deprived or really into teas that sound like foods I can no longer enjoy for medical or allergy reasons. I decidedly bought only 50g to avoid having extra hanging around in case I did not enjoy the tea.

Dried the leaf smells like minty blueberries and I cannot figure out why I was smelling mint. Brewed it produces a purplish brown colour and has a very earthy cooked blueberries aroma. My first sip did not pick up distinguishing features and after several sips I was able to pick up hints of blueberry glaze and black tea.

Sadly I did not finish my cup of tea not because I wasn’t enjoying the tea, but because I fell asleep (it was a crazy day and one that I would not wish on anyone). So I am looking forward to the next time I get to drink a cup of this tea completely. For this reason I have not rated the tea.

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)
