It could be my poor mood talking but I seem to have lost my taste for this today.

I brewed up a big jug of this last night for Eurovision finale and it was a huge hit.

Go Austria! In both senses (Eurovision AND tea)!

I cold brewed a second steep of this blend and it’s come off mild and nutty. Bit weird for a cold brew. I’ll stick with hot for the rest of what I’ve got of this, I think.

Another scratchy throat… and only hours into my four day weekend? Really, body? This feels HIGHLY unfair…

I managed to beat that last one with an immediate dose of cold & flu tablets and streaming this tea, so let’s get back on that train immediately.

I swear, immune system. I know I’ve been shocked at your resilience lately but you could just keep it up, you know.

drank Forever Nuts by DAVIDsTEA

FLUORO PINK COLD BREW PARTY!

Since getting hooked on T2’s Apple Crumble my love for Forever Nuts has waned. It’s way too sweet in comparision. But I sure do still appreciate it for what it is, so the rating remains!

Oh, I think this might actually be a sipdown, too. Thanks to ashleyelizabeth for feeding my DAVIDsTEA addiction!

drank Green Tang by More Tea
1024 tasting notes

Hmm.

Trying to decide how I feel about this one.

First try is cold brewed. The nose is almost all coconut, but that sunscreen-y kinda coconut. Awkward approach.

The flavour still has that sunscreen-y essence to it, but also enough tangy berry/citrus. The green isn’t too present, but that’s a plus for me.

I’ll sit my rating here for now and see what the future brings for us, Green Tang.

Preparation
Iced 8 min or more

Final cup tonight shared with a friend. Yum. This doesn’t make me quite as insane as ArgoTea’s snowflake white tea did but there’s still that reminder hanging around.

Nutty good warming brew.

65-50 — Fine. Unremarkable.
45-35 — this wasn’t the worst drink ever but I was disappointed; it didn’t live up to my expectations at all.
30-0 — I didn’t enjoy this tea and that makes me sad.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
