818 Tasting Notes
Probably my all-time favorite tea from DavidsTea. It’s so deliciously nutty and the raisins add sweetness! Absolutely the best with milk and a little sugar. The worst thing about this tea is that because the Brazil nuts are heavy, it costs more for less tea. Gonna have to restock soon!
Took me awhile to figure out if I liked this one. Kind of like a floral earl grey tea. Good for first thing in the morning, and maybe afternoon high tea with the girls! I’ll have a chance to find out this weekend as I’m having some friends over for our own high tea! Making scones, tea sandwiches, and desserts! So fun! And sometimes, I think, yummier than going out to a tea place.
Had this as a late morning pick-me-up. Hadn’t had it in awhile and I think I enjoyed it more today than I had in the past. Very subtle smooth peach flavor. Definitely need to try more Lupicia teas. Hoping my subscription for the newsletter brings me samples of new teas to try!
Love this rooibos. I think the green rooibos is a lot smoother and delicate than red rooibos. This tea made me like rooibos tea more. The fruity flavor also helped with that. This tea goes with everything and I can drink it at any time. Sweet, but not candy sweet.
Had my second cup this morning….never can decide whether I really like a tea until I’ve had my second cup. Really loved the smell out of the bag….very malty black tea smell. Once steeped, it reminded me of a strong Irish breakfast. Steeped it my usual 5 minutes for black tea and added my usual milk and sugar. Had that taste you get when you steep black tea a little too long. Not sure if I should try steeping it for less time or if I just don’t like it as much as other black teas. I prefer a really smooth black tea and this one wasn’t it.
