Maddy Barone drank Candy Cane Crush by DAVIDsTEA

768 tasting notes

I opened the cheerfully wrapped little package on the my Etsy advent tea calendar and just couldn’t. Int he beginning I told myself I was going to try every tea, even if it was one I didn’t think I would like. But really, life is too short to force myself to drink something I am sure I won’t like. Jasmine green tea is a hit with a lot of people, but not me.

So. I went to the tea drawer and pulled out this one from last year. I really do enjoy it. The creamy mint flavor is clear. The liquor is not. The little candies made the tea look cloudy, which doesn’t appear very appetizing. Luckily this one is quite tasty. And a darned sight better than the jasmine green tea slated for today.

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.
