Maddy Barone drank Melon Drop by DAVIDsTEA

768 tasting notes

This was my evening brew. I added some pieces of candied ginger. I am sadly still suffering from dyspepsia. I went out and bought from Pepcid. It’s helping a little. I’ll take it again tomorrow and then call the doctor. Today I have no sense of smell. It’s very disappointing. I hope it’s a temporary condition, but I’m afraid it’s permanent. The good news is, the boxed set I was invited to contribute to is selling very well on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Stormy-Alpha-Nights-Collection-ebook/dp/B015LI64GO/ It would be so cool if it keeps selling well. Not because I’ll make a ton of money or anything. I will make $0.02 per copy sold so I am not expecting this to make me rich, but hopefully some new readers will find my stuff and enjoy it.

Anyway, the tea is good. Sweet. It’s finally cooling down from the high of 97 (!!! mid October in North Dakota is not expected to be 97. The previous record high was 85, so we completely pulverized the old record) so this tea hit the spot.

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.
