Maddy Barone drank Cinnamon Heart (Discontinued) by DAVIDsTEA

768 tasting notes

I got a cup of this as a freebie in the store last time I was up in Winnipeg. I sat out in the mall and sipped it, really enjoying and wishing I would have bought a bit of it. So I ordered 50 grams of it on my last order. I just brewed a cup and I’m disappointed that I don’t like it better. It tastes awfully musty to me. Pu’erh often is musty. I don’t remember it being so musty. In the mall it was warm and cinnamon-y and perfectly lovely. I’m not going to rate it this time. I’m going to brew another cup in a few days and steep it for less time. Hopefully I’ll enjoy it more next time. If not, I may need to find a new home for this.

Flavors: Musty

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

You might want to try rinsing it as well. Maybe a 5-second steep that you throw out.

Bio

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.
