147 Tasting Notes
Ok so I’m rating this tea iced. I haven’t tried it hot. It’s August. It’s hot. I wanted a cool glass of tea. I’m Southern. It’s a requirement.
Anyway, sipping on this cold n ice. It’s awesome. Doesn’t need sweetener. It’s like a beautiful iced tea would serve at a brunch. It isn’t artificial tasting or overly sweet at all. I don’t even know that I would call it sweet….I just know I like it straight. There’s enough natural sweetness. And def get ginger. It’s pretty awesome
It’s kinda kicking all my other ginger peach tea’s butts right now
Preparation
Got a sample in my last Davids Tea order. For no other reason than laziness this afternoon I decided to brew this sample. It was sitting right there on the counter so….
It smells really really good. Dry and brewed. Sipping on it and I’m pretty surprised at how rich and dark it is. I had Glitter and Gold last night and these two are like completely different animals…mostly just based on the heft of it. Glitter and Gold was really light and sweet with cinnamon and spice…This is dark and heavy with spice..a little chocolate. Not getting so much coconut…but I placed the cup down on the coffee table next to my daughter who is 4 and she said…“what smells like a nutty coconut?”
It is dark and we….stormy…but it’s really good. It isn’t bitter at all and barely any detectable astringency if any. I’m tempted to add a little milk but not sugar…
Anyway it’s a pretty good brew…Probably better for a morning cup..it’s stout. But really good all the same.
