230 Tasting Notes
EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
There was a snail floating in my tea as it steeping this morning! I am officially turned off! and I was going to make a lemonade based iced tea with this too! BLECK!
Preparation
Gross
No kidding, the girls were quick to exchange the tea and gave me a free “take-away” tea… So, I can’t be too upset…
a snail? wow, that is some messed up tea
The best was the comment from my brother-in-law: “Look who found the prize!” Oh snap!!
lol extra protein!
You are very special indeed! Tea for two and two for tea…hmmmhmm
LOL! I like it Jenn!
Ha! Not every tea comes with a friend to share it with :)
P.S. I’ve already carefully sifted through my entire tin of Goji Pop looking for snails. I’m super paranoid now!
LOL, Jenn… I am sure it is just a one time thing.
Not with DavidsTea, but I’ve definitely had this happen. I worked at a tea farm once, and this is what happens when ingredients are handpicked at a pesticide, insecticide-free farms. Yeah it looks gross, but i find it kinda awesome that it’s good enough for little creatures like snails that have much less toxicity tolerance than us. I might be just a weirdo.
It was a shock, but my (French Canadian) cousins were a little shocked that I was appalled at the notion of finding a traveller in my tea…
I love that even though there was a snail in it you gave it a raiting of 95. That’s dedication!
Oh, it had a rating of like 10… but then I gave it a second try.
How’d a snail get in there!!?
Mmmm, MMM!
Did not drink this today, I steeped 4 heaping (perfect scoops) in a 2cup measure of hot water, let cool and used it to make pancakes this morning. WOW! This really added to the Sunday Brunch affair! I topped the pancakes with a reduction of strawberries and honey and got RAVE reveiws!
This tea really BROUGHT-IT!
Preparation
I’ve been itching to try cooking with tea… this sounds delish!!
I don’t know if it can be called cooking, since it was a just add water package of pancakes, but today I thought, plain water is so boring… Hmmm, Blazin’ Strawberries is not my favourite sipping tea… Lets use this instead of water, end result… DELISH!
hey cooking is cooking, no matter how easy! :P
and you get credit for the idea so… extra yum!
Very nice! I’ve used almond milk steeped tea to make pancakes and waffles before, BUT I never would have thought if using Blazing Strawberries! Genius :)
I am tempted to use Banana Daiquiri to make banana muffins… Hummmmm?
DO IT! Banana Daiquiri muffins with a rum glaze or crumble! Yes…
Oh my gosh, I am drooling all over the place o_o
I did not smell the leaves before I bought this one, because I knew I would loose my nerve and turn up my nose in disgust and look for something that pleases my olfactory sense better, so I ordered 100g (knowing co-workers and family LOVES this tea) and went home to steep this one, but ended up waiting until this morning. (Window shopping without any intent to buy wears me out, it is a useless activity wit no real end result)
This morning as it was steeping I found myself pleasantly enveloped in citrus and vanilla. I went with a slightly cooler water, and an exact 4 minutes steep time. Mmmm, this was palpable, although I did find the finish tough to savour at first. To the point that the next time the husband calls to ask what I want from the store I will eagerly say: “Cream please”
This is a note worthy tea and with some practice and perfecting has the potential to become another weekend treat, Vanilla just does not seem like a day-in-day-out kinda thing…
Preparation
Long Live Long Life Oolong!
I have a feeling that this tea may have been left open a little in it’s jar; the tea is fragrant but the steeping took longer than I would have liked and I only got one REALLY GOOD steep out of this tea instead of the usual 3.
BUT, that being said, it is still a GREAT tea, and I am already at the bottom of my tin, finally it is time for a “justified” DAVIDs run! lol
