I’m a huge fan of coffee flavored teas – Davids Coffee Pu’erh is one of my secret guilty pleasure and I really really miss HI Moosetracks. When I saw this as an offering from Liquid Proust, had to try it.
MMMMmmmmmmmm awesome. This is everything it should be. Dark and rich. It has a really thick mouthfeel. The coffee is present without being overly bitter or beating you over the head. The black base adds some dark chocolate notes. The pu’erh is more subtle but it adds some really nice earthiness and depth. I was really worried about the grapefruit (I don’t normally do well with citrus in tea), and while I don’t really taste it as grapefruit, there is a light acidic note in the back that breaks up the heaviness of the black and pu’erh. I think it’s one of those things that I woudn’t have understood what it was (without being told) but would miss it if it was taken out of the blend.
For my tastes this is almost perfect – well balanced, flavors as they should be. This is one that just makes me happy. :)

Btw, have you ever tried Bayswater’s Chocolate Macchiato? That’s my favourite coffee-flavoured tea!
I have not tried the Bayswater one. I just went and read the tasting notes and it looks like something that could replace Moosetracks. On the wishlist it goes. Thanks for the suggestion. :))
Yeah, it has way more flavour than Moosetracks, IMO. :)
you’re making me totally jealous! wish i’d had a moment to order these from LP when he made it worthwhile for canucks :(
