Another sample sachet from Davidstea. This was ok, but after having The Persimmon Tree’s white butterscotch, this doesn’t even compare. You definitely smell caramel and there’s caramel at the beginning of the sip, but then it sort of goes away. I’m getting a bitter taste at the end of the sip, maybe I steeped too long. It’s not unpleasant, but it’s definitely not as nice compared to the flavor mixed with a white tea base.
This is You :-D

Bio
I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.
Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:
Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener
Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
