Cookie Dough

A kind soul sent me a sample of this. I’m glad I don’t love it as much as other people seem to because it’s been discontinued for quite some time. Don’t get me wrong, it’s quite tasty. It’s not sugar cookie dough. It’s more like a really buttery chocolate chip cookie dough before the chocolate chips have been added. It’s sweet but not overly so, and the white tea base is pleasant. Is there apple in this? I taste apple. While this doesn’t tick all the boxes for me in terms of a dessert tea, it’s still quite nice. I’m glad I had a chance to taste it and remove it from my wishlist.

Side note, if anyone has recommendations for other “cookie” teas, especially with black tea bases, please share.

I had a cup of this tea this morning, and it was quite enjoyable. It’s delicate, and sweet. Tastes just like cookie dough. Somewhat like a dessert tea. It was yummy! So glad I have lots of it.

This tea has been in my cupboard for a while. Still tastes pretty good! I taste chocolate and a doughy flavor. There is almost a maltiness in there, a hint of coconut. It has a little sweetness of it’s own so I haven’t added sugar, but I bet it would be pretty decadent with some added. Maybe on the next cup.

Super glad I finally got to try this one! Was hoping that they’d bring it back this year, but I guess not. Bought a sample of this from someone though, so finally getting to trying it!
I think I might have steeped it for a little too long because it’s a bit bitter, but it’s not too much.
The smell itself definitely reminds me of Cookie Dough, as well as the after taste. But as I drank the actual tea, it wasn’t so much like that. It reminded me faintly of cookie dough, but I’d describe it more like “White Chocolate”. It has that almost sour taste to it, like white chocolate does.
Makes me wonder since apparently last year they had a “White Chocolate Frosting” tea or something like that. xD
I don’t know…this tea is just odd. Don’t think I’d buy it though. Glad I got to try it!
Maybe will help me save money if this ever comes back-haha!

This was a nice tea for my breakfast. It smells yummy and tastes good. I dunno if it all reminds me of cookie dough but it’s vanilla-y and sweet. There was an oily film on the top of the water but it didn’t affect taste at all.

When I first got this I tried it hot and did not like it much, tasted like over cooked cookies but iced was better because I prefer cookie dough over cookies. It remind me of store bought cookie dough. I hoarded this for to long, I finally finished it today and it is to old to mention anything great about it. oh-well I’m glad I got to try it after it was discontinued.

I love cookies but never liked the taste of raw cookie dough. It’s not the flavor that grosses me out but the idea that it’s uncooked batter. I still wanted to try this because my curiosity “I wonder if it really DOES taste like that” gets the best of me.

In this case, it was a pleasant surprise. Since there’s no uneasiness of eating something raw, I’m really able to enjoy the flavor. And yes, this really does taste like cookie dough! I thought that adding cream would enhance the doughy flavor but I was wrong and instead, it muted it. Next time I’ll just stick to adding a dash of sugar.

This is a queued tasting note.

Was digging around in my roommate’s tea/coffee cupboard for some generic green tea bags for a tea bath and instead found a practically untouched and long since forgotten about 100g of this tea! Man, it’s so old by now. I immediately had to try it because I knew I’d tried it before and wanted to see the comparison of my notes from two years ago and my thoughts now.

So, just finished going through the tea notes I wrote two years ago: I was a big fan! I found this sweet, with a good range of flavour notes. In fact, I gave it a “90” rating!

There were some differences between then and now though: the big one is that back then I didn’t really cold brew. At least, not the way I do now. So, I had this hot back then but my current tasting was cold brewed. Also, while I think general observations made about this tea back then hold true I found that the strong chocolate and nutty notes (which were consistent with what I described in the old tasting notes) were personally too sweet and cloying for me. I was almost turned off by just how rich this tasted! But I mean, that’s likely what they were going for. Cookie Dough is one of those things that IS really, really sweet and you should probably be at least a little expectant of that.

If we were to see a reappearance of this tea in the next little while I wouldn’t be shocked. DAVIDsTEA has been so into sweeter teas as of late that this would fit in perfectly with what’s currently on the tea wall. Personally, I’m less of a fan now than I was two years ago.

Cookie dough is a white tea, and yes, it tastes like cookie dough. The walnuts were fun to eat after I was done steeping :P It has been part of the Winter collection for quite a while now! I’m pretty sure this one will keep coming back each year because it is so good :)

I turned it into ice cubes to help combat the local heatwave. It turned out really well! It smells faintly of cookie dough and has a lovely carmelized flavour with a slight hint of chocolate.
