Adventageddon Day 21
So close to the end now!
I whisked this up as my first tea today – though I actually started the day with a pair of pear teas. Both were a more delicate pear flavour, though this one was quite fresh, aromatic and floral in its undertones. Even though it is sweetened, I find that compared to the flavoured matchas from DT this one is much less sweet and also a lot more matcha forward – which adds to that fresh feeling with umami and grassy notes.
I also made it in a gorgeous red shinoware chawan that I bought from O5 when I last visited Vancouver. I’ve never gotten a nice photo of it on camera since sometimes it reflects the light weird or looks washed out, but I really like the photo I got of it today!
…of course my hand placement is awkward AF though. Definitely no future in the cards for me as a hand model.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
