Cookie Dough

This is probably not going to be a fair rateing since I dont like cookie dough in the first place and so I debated on wether to even write anything about it, but I did want to remember my thoughts so here it goes. I got this as one of my samples and I decided I would try it. I think it tasted like a cookie but I couldnt get the thought of raw eggs out of my head! LOL and even so I thought it was kinda bland and my bf loves cookie dough and didnt comment weather it was great or horrible. so I think if you like cookies and like cookie dough then give it a try! God bless!

This was my first davidstea ever! I still love it! I add milk and usually have it in the morning, and it is just right. Very delicious and the aroma is just perfectly cookie dough. Great :)

Wow, makes me think of Christmas time at Nan’s house. We would bake up a storm together and I would always have my hands in the dough. Slightly nutty, nice and sweet, not overpowering… I couldn’t ask for much more in a cookie dough tea. Add a bit of milk and it reminds me of cookie dough ice cream. Absolutely delicious. The white tea is a nice pairing because it’s so mild and sweet. Makes me want to curl up in front of a warm fire and watch the Grinch with my hubby with Christmas lights twinkling. And even better, there aren’t as many calories as homemade cookies! Yay! :)

This is one I got from a friend who tried it many times and didn’t like it. She gave me the rest of her 50g bag, which was still kind of full. The first time I smelled it, I thought “eww weird” and when I tasted it I was like “what the hell?” And then I let a few weeks go by, I tried many different teas, and one day I thought : let’s give this another try. And I absolutely love it now ! Both the smell and the taste ! What the hell happened ?

Funny thing is, I brewed a cup a work today and my friend was there. I told her what had happened and she goes “well, can I try it again?” and guess what ? She loved it too and totally regretted giving it to me ! All very weird.

It think it tastes mostly like caramel, a bit of chocolate and lots of sugar. Perfect when I crave a decadent dessert (which I always do). Too bad my bag’s almost done. I hope they bring it back next winter !

I have no idea what my steep time on this one was…I used the break room hot water (from water cooler) and left it to steep for awhile. It’s palatable…but not amazing. I definitely get a sense of cookie dough and it feels like it clings to my tongue and roof of my mouth…like it’s a separate entity from the water/tea. I’m not rating it now since it wasn’t done in a controlled manner.

I was so excited when I received more samples in the mail! The first one I decided to try was Cookie Dough, as this one intrigued me. I decided to wait until I worked on my never-ending barrage of essays for this semester. On a positive note: we’re finally on week 10 and there are only 15 weeks! I’m starting to see the light! :D Anyhow, onto the tea!

I do not smell cookie dough in the dry leaves, but I knew it would be different when brewed. Now this is where it gets strange. I like the taste, but the smell is a bit off-putting. I don’t know why, but every time I take a sip, the smell of the tea is pretty astringent. Maybe it’s just me? I am liking this tea now that it has cooled down considerably. The taste is finally more like cookie dough. That said, I am not getting many, if any, chocolate notes. I’m okay with this though.

At the moment I am on the fence about this tea. I want to like it more than I do! Maybe my expectations were too high. I am going to finish out this sample and see how it goes. Thank you shakirah1984 for this generous sample!

Oh my goodness. It’s cookie dough, in a cup. I am in love.

This was one of my most recent Davids purchases, and I must say it has seriously damaged me! This tea honestly taste’s like chocolate chip cookie dough, I am not sure what kind of witchcraft DavidsTea used to create this blend but it is AMAZING, currently holds the spot as my favorite tea to drink and I generally sway more towards Black Teas.

First cup I totally didn’t pay attention to the direction on the tin and brewed it as a gentle white tea (82*C for 2 minutes) not realizing it was a longer steep time and hotter temperature; however I was still rewarded with a great drink.

Dry the tea has quite large leaves of varying colours, large pieces of walnuts, lots of chocolate shavings and other bits of goodies for the flavoring. It has a mild smell to it that reminds me of the old candy shops from when I was a kid, very sweet and aromatic.

Brewing it looks like a jungle in your steeper, if you can see it! The smell is exactly that of cookies just put into the oven. WARNING brewing in the office place will cause mass confusion, take caution!

The final beverage really doesn’t need to be sweetened but I have a sweet tooth so I generally add a tsp or two of sugar to my teas, I added two to this brew and I thought I was drinking cookie dough. Its a nice lighter brown brew, thanks to the chocolate, that I actually prefer a smidgen cooler then most hot teas as it really gives the impression of a warm cookie right out of the oven.

Overall this tea is a home run in my books, bad news is its a seasonal tea so that means stocking up is required for the times when it isn’t available. If you are not a fan of sweet teas do not go near this one at all as you will probably dislike it, otherwise be prepared to become addicted after your first cup!

Probably the first dessert tea I’ve enjoyed! I initially wanted to try Vanilla Orchid but once I smelt this one I had to take it home! I tried it as a take out today and I asked for a little bit of agave and it was just perfect. It really does smell like cookie dough! Taste wise, it reminds me of chocolate chip cookies, which is very awesome. YUM.

I’ll likely add this onto my shelf. :D

This was part of my first-ever DAVIDsTEA order, in large part because of the fabulous reviews of it here on Steepster. As a dessert lover looking to replace sweets with tea, this sounded perfect. Cookie dough? In tea form? Oh yes yes yes.

Dry, this smells exactly like fresh cookies — reminds me a lot of chocolate chip cookies with walnuts, actually. Steeped, it’s a fairly plain tea that doesn’t retain much of the nutty, cookie flavor present in the dry leaves. Maybe part of the issue is the large size of the walnuts … I should have tried crushing them up a bit so that I’d get a better ratio of tea to nut bits. Other than that, though, this is smooth and sweet enough to drink plain. I do really enjoy this tea, despite the fact that it’s not the liquid baked good I was expecting.
