Uniquity drank Crème Brulée by DAVIDsTEA

709 tasting notes

I drank a cuppa Creme Brulee this morning..I apologize, but it must not have been very memorable because it only just occurred to me to log it. I was looking for a yummy caramel-esque tea and was hoping this might be it. Not so. I had no trouble drinking the cup I prepared, and it was rather surprisingly flavoured like creme brulee (though I don’t have creme brulee that often).

However, it wasn’t memorable and both the beau and I declared we didn’t feel the need to buy more of it. I’m not sure if it is a problem with it being rooibos based and not feeling substantially “tea” enough for me, or if there was just something a bit off about the flavours. It doesn’t really matter, I suppose, but it does seem like the sort of tea I would have really enjoyed at the beginning of my tea journey, but at the moment it doesn’t really fit into my tea desires. Sorry, creme brulee!

I got 50g of this tea and right now I blend it with the coco chai rooibos to temper the flavour of that tea down for the summer, but I agree… Not overly memorable, and I have had it a few times.

Bio

I’ve been drinking loose tea since 2010 and my tastes have changed a lot over those years. For the last few, I’ve been a fan of unflavoured Chinese blacks and shu puerh. I still drink other things, but that’s where I am.

I live in a rural area with my husband, cat, and soon to be firstborn. I love tea, reading, doctor who, knitting, crosswords, board games, the marvel universe, and lots of other things.

I’m not often rating teas numerically any more but I want to leave this to explain my past ratings:
I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.

81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn’t stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don’t make me finish the cup.
