So, my tasting note number 900 is Roswell Strange favourite. I hope it delivers a nice cuppa; moreover my first one from DAVIDsTEA.
Shae’s ADVENT CALENDAR, December 21
Woo, DAVIDsTEA tea. Meh “Contains Stevia extract.” *sniffs It is like a blueberry jam indeed!
I took two teaspoons of blend and then added few extra berries from blend, as I thought there isn’t much of them in previous two teaspoons. Four minutes steeping was bit tricky, as I thought because it goes dark really quickly. But that’s the berries in I guess.
I had completely no expecations from this tea. I usually don’t use jams on my bread; but I like flavoured yogurts and I don’t mind berries at all. Blueberries are my favourite; they are nicely tart and sweet in same time, moreover Finnish ones were tasty (and nobody were picking them up) when I was there. But I digress.
A tea; after four minutes steep was very dark, so was the room though.
I took a sniff again and again it was indeed like blueberry jam. Seems yummy! First sip coated my mouth with all the blueberries, the base was somehow present too. Another sips were juicy and jammy, reminding me a jam I had few years back from Reddit Secret Santa, Condiments batch. I was adding it to the plain cream yogurt and even on its own it was delicious. So was this tea. And stevia in? Where? Yep, it’s bit of sweet, but I would expect that from jam, right?
I am impressed. I had somehow high hopes for this cuppa, maybe because I heard mostly good things about DAVIDsTEA teas and it was just right. Not a tea I would drink on daily basis, but if I will crave for berries, this delivers great.
Would you recommend this tea? You bet!

Yay for 900! I hit 900 on Friday as well!
Courtney: but you are around for longer time, though inactive :D
Congrats!
It’s true! I even started thinking over the weekend if I could get to 1000 by the new year, but I think that would be a bit crazy!
Thanks Nichole :)
Courtney, 1000 isn’t that far, certainly I could make it happen — but why?
Congratulations on 900! : )
Congratulations on 900 tasting notes!
Thank you White Antlers, many were written because of your teas :) and Leafhopper always delight to see you being one of the first who “likes” my notes. At least I know they are written well :)
Congratulations on 900, Martin!
Way to go Martin!
Martin movin’ on up.
Martin, the fact that I’m one of the first to like your notes probably means I’m on Steepster too much. :D
ashmanra, mrmopar, derk Thank you! I spend too much time here too Leafhopper — I am surprised it goes so fast, but if I write two each day, then it’s 730 per day. And well, that’s a lot. I know I don’t have to write about every single tea session, but it keeps me calm and my English is being used at least :)
