Maddy Barone drank Santa's Secret by DAVIDsTEA

768 tasting notes

I am not a tea connoisseur, being a bit new to tea drinking. I live in North Dakota USA, which is not what you would call a tea drinker’s region. Here, when you ask people what kind of tea they drink, most of them will say Lipton’s. I think that pretty much says everything about tea in North Dakota.
So, when some friends from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada gave me a tea assortment from David’s Tea, I was hooked. Santa’s Secret was the first of the teas I tried. I really liked it! No bitter after taste, and it had those cute little candy canes in it. So far this is one of my favorite teas.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
