22 tasting notes

Day 12 DavidsTea 24 Days of Tea calendar – Coffee Pu’erh. I was only able to have about 5 sips of this. The coffee beans made this a digestive minefield for me. I got into tea b/c coffee was giving me terrible nausea after decades of loving the stuff. Tried a few sips, waited, started to feel not so great, stopped. The overly cloying sweetness from the almond did not help either.

So, for anyone else who is coffee sensitive but thinking this tea might be weak enough to be okay: be wary still.

It did remind me how much I miss coffee, but it also reminded me how much I hated flavoured coffee. This was sweet and, as mentioned before, the almond and also vanilla were far too strong & the whole thing is underpinned with an artificiality that was not pleasant. If you dig General Foods International instant flavoured coffees, you’ll probably like this. Everyone else: steer clear.

Flavors: Almond, Artificial, Coffee, Sweet, Vanilla

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Bio

Tea lover, number cruncher, gin reaper, clown wrangler.

New to the world of tea, only been drinking it regularly for 2 years and spent the 1st year mostly just enjoying a few nice oolongs from a sampler someone gifted me and the odd breakfast assam, not experimenting really at all. My tastes are, overall, in tea and in life, both undeveloped and unrefined, though I have always tended towards unadulterated or, if flavoured, lighter fruity teas. Not a sweets person in general. Still discovering what I do/don’t like in the realm of tea. But when it comes to my other liquid love, gin, I do know I’m all about the herbaceous, the earthy, spice, citrus, and unexpected flavour profiles, but almost never sweet or floral. So, I’m gonna guess odds are that my taste in tea may prove to run along similar lines.

Joined Steepster largely to document my adventure into the world of potpourri dessert teas, also known as the 2017 DavidsTea 24 Days of Tea advent calendar. Bought it on a whim & am ready for a journey of … some kind. Could be delightful discovery. Could be daily disappointments. We shall see!
