64 Tasting Notes
The fact that my 15 g bag gave me about a cup cheesed me. I knew it was going to be heavy, but damnnnnnnnnnnn.
So, onto flavour, I taste predominately almonds with a slightly spicy tone to it. Nothing amazing, but very enjoyable. But not enjoyable enough to have something this expensive. At this rate I might as well get a Starbucks drink. It’ll be a good cup but not a repurchase.
Preparation
I did not think this tea was going to be so mellow and rich tasting. I was expecting a more in your face chai, but the surprise is nice. I love this tea for what it is and it tastes like a mellower hot chocolate to me. I love love love love it. Praises for DavidsTea bringing this back as a permanent item.
Very disappointing and upsetting cup because this is the tea I was the most excited for in the winter collection this year. I hate it. My first sip was licorice, with undertones in licorice and more licorice. It’s smooth which most likely comes from the chocolate, but there is no real taste of chocolate. No real taste of oolong. Just sadness as I take another sip and hope it doesn’t taste the same as the last :( (Okay, so I got a little emotional there, but still I wanted to love this tea so bad!)
I liked this tea the first time I tasted it in store, and then coming home and brewing a cup for about 2 or 3 times I came to the conclusion I just hated it and it was an impulse buy. And now I am sipping on a cup to get rid of it and I like it again? I don’t know what’s going on over here but at least I’m happy I can finish these last few cups enjoyably. Maybe one day when I’m craving it again I will repurchase. Holding off on the rating because obviously I can’t make my decision on it.
This tastes like a fruity crumbly, pieish tart. (I know, but if you try the tea you’ll know what I’m talking about. This is what I hoped mom’s apple pie would taste like in terms of a pastry note. Moms apple pie was too much apple not enough pie? This is like the right amount of fruit and pastry. Even though there isn’t anything in here that would lead u to believe that it would taste this way. I’m drinking it with a little milk and brown sugar just to help with tartness since I usually hate that in my tea. This goes great with some trail mix for a snack. Love love love
