drank Cold 911 (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA
768 tasting notes

I received my package from David’s Tea today. I ordered Ginger Pear and Cold 911, and it wasn’t hard to decide which I would drink tonight. My cold has morphed into a sinus infection and I feel pretty miserable. The doctor prescribed Levequin (sp?) and I prescribed Cold 911. Even though I can’t smell it, the steam has enough menthol-like qualities to help open my sinuses. The taste ( to someone who has no sense of smell, and thus very little sense of taste) is a teeny bit menthol-y. I probably wouldn’t sip this tea for pleasure, but when I have a cold or my sinuses are completely swollen shut, this is the tea I want.

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.
