Indigobloom drank Chickory Dickory Dock [duplicate2] by DAVIDsTEA

1759 tasting notes

Eek, I oversteeped! either that or the chicory is just naturally super bitter. Next time I’ll try less in the bag and time in the pot. I added some milk and sugar but it’s still super dark and I can taste the sugar, but the chicory overrides it, by a landslide.
Otherwise, it tastes very similar to coffee! I can taste the vanilla and the almond (very blended, I can’t tell where one begins and the other ends) but the chicory is the main ingredient here. I really need to try this again before giving it a true rating. This one is only temporary!
Nevertheless, I can tell that this is a high quality tea, destined to be loved by many…. and I can most definitely see myself turning to this when I have a serious coffee craving to. Mmmmmm coffee…
(my aging body can’t handle all that caffeine, thus the tea obsession)

Good to know. I’m very anti-coffee in smell and taste, so I avoid anything that’s even remotely like it : )

ah well yes in that case, stay away from this one! I love the stuff but only have decaf every now and then- a poor second choice, it tastes awful compared to the real deal.
(Oh and chicory doesn’t have the same depth as coffee, apparently)

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
