141 Tasting Notes
So I managed to go to David’s Tea last friday and got some nice stuff, such as a speical tin of Santa’s Secret and a cup of Superberry. I was looking to try something I didn’t have yet and so as per one of the helpful recommendations of my helpful sales associate, I settled on this tea. The smell was invinting and slightly reminded me of Blueberry Jam tea. I also enjoyed the taste of this tea. Looks like my next visit at David’s Tea will include getting a tin of this tea.
The past two days have crazy and I didn’t really have time to steep my own tea, so I have been devoted to Tim Hortin’s Earl Grey. No problem here, it my first love tea-wise, the drink that started my love of tea, so to have it’s comfort and aroma in my time of stress and busyness is just perfect. I love getting the large one because I can refil it later and it will taste just as awesome, a real deal.
Honestly a classic for me, this brings me back to the early tea days, it`s all I would drink, earl grey just black. I love this one. There is just something nostalgic about it whenever I drink this tea, it brings me comfort and happy memories. The smell/aroma is just heavenly and the taste is sublime.
So second cup didn’t have any Earl Grey today, so I decided to try out their jasmine tea. Its pretty good for a bagged jasmine tea, no complaints here, wasn’t overpowering. I like the smell of the tea, through I wish the scent were just a bit more stronger. The smell of jasmine is so inviting.
So its not my fave, but not the worst tea that I have tried. I like it even a bit better than Refresh, though that one is still good as well. This tea doesn’t have any particular scent, or really any at all, or I’m coming down with a cold, not sure, but I didn’t smell anything. I decided to try this one as per the recommendation of a friend, it’s not bad, considering it is a TAZO, and for some reason I usually just cannot tolerate TAZO teas. But this one is pretty tolerable, it is not overpowering like the rest of the teas in this company ( that I’ve tried). I would have this again if forced to buy a drink at starbucks. The taste is subtle, but then again I barely had the bag in due to the fact that TAZO teas seem to steep really fast and leave bitter tastes. So I literally had it in for like a minute and it tasted fine.
