Daddyselephant drank Kanpe Tea by DAVIDsTEA

1473 tasting notes

I was craving cold tea yesterday and I had just stopped into DavidsTea, so I made a pot of this. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it, that I work a few hundred feet from DavidsTea, but at no point do I get a break long enough to run out and get a cup >.<

Anyway, this tea intrigued me and, let’s face it, I’m a sucker for an interesting tin. I’m kind of in love. Iced, it’s nice and refreshing, but the spices work to somehow make it warm and comforting as well. It’s magic! Everyone should try this….yum.

I really want to try this one. I am hoping it will replace Pink Flamingo for me.

The girl in store tried to sell it to the ever so annoying chick behind me in line using that argument. The girl came in looking for Pink Flamingo, and left with Green and Fruity. o.O. Anyway, I dunno. I see a slight resemblance, but my favorite part of PF was the citrus, which I didn’t find in this tea. Still, it’s darn good! I wasn’t a fan of PF, and I ma a fan of this, so shrugs

Thanks for the info. I think I will give it a try and hope. I wish I could find a grapefruit tea like Pink Flamingo. Or I really hope they bring it back in the spring.

Bio

Formerly aisling of tea, now you can call me ele .

“You can forgive a murder, but never a mistake while preparing tea.” Chinese proverb

Labels? Here you go: Femme, Wife, Lesbian, Homemaker, Happy. Don’t forget tea fanatic!

New label as of May, 2015: Diabetic. I’m using tea to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings and keep me hydrated without hurting my system or messing with my blood sugar.

Ah, tea. My love for you is ever changing. At my last update, I was all about the rooibos and now I hardly drink it. I only occasionally had an oolong and now I have one just about every day. I’ve learned the art of resteeping and coldbrewing and kombucha. I have a lovely little tea pet named…well, I haven’t decided on a name for him yet. I also have five! live pets, a tabby cat named Rosabella Francis (Bella for short), a ginger cat named Orange Julius Pekoe (Pekoe), a white and grey cat named Earl Jean Grey (Earlie), a tuxedo cat (and the only boy in the house) Prince Erik Darien Darjeeling (JiJi) and a red foot tortoise named Da Hong Pao (Pao). So if you see me referring to my girls, I don’t have kids, just animals.

As for tea, I love oolongs, herbals, and black tea. Since I am no longer working, I no longer feel the constant need for a mate energy boost, though I do still reach for it from time to time. I also drink less matcha, though I do throw a spoonful or two in when I’m making smoothies. Most of my tea I drink coldbrewed, and since I discovered coldbrewed rooibos was giving me headaches, I’m drinking less and less of it. Straight pu-erh is not a thing I enjoy, but there are a few flavored blends I like. Greens are still too finicky for me to bother with hot, but they make great cold brews.

I am by no means a tea purist. I greatly enjoy flavored teas and I put stevia in all of my teas. It’s just how I do.

I think I’m going to name my tea pet Mr. Turtle. Even though he’s a tortoise.
