Roswell Strange drank Movie Night by DAVIDsTEA

16956 tasting notes

So I have some backlog to do from last night; after I got home from the movies/my date I was pretty exhausted, and I just didn’t want to do any sort of writing…

I made this in a timolino to go because I though it was really fitting to bring Movie Night with to the movies. I sort of always do this; it has become a thing. Actually though, the bulk of this was consumed on the bus ride to meet with him for, coincidentally (but not, because it was planned) tea first.

The tea was good; light and buttery and nummy. The movie was even better! It’s just such a shitty movie that it’s fantastic to watch. You know; that kind of movie. And watching it in the theatre is sort of like watching a live performance of RHPS where the audience shouts things/throws stuff at the screen/stage and it very loud and involved. Just fantastic. I honestly don’t think I’ve laughed so much and so hard since moving half a year ago. And then, of course, Wiseau and Sestero’s Q&A was hilarious.

I really did have a great time up until the taxi ride home – in part because the evening was ending and in part because the taxi ride itself was really horrible. The first one I called was stolen by someone else, and then when the second one showed up and finally got me home his debit pad was broken and I only had debit on me. That’s sorta something you should point out before you drive the person home, right?

So the taxi driver drove me to a bank to withdraw some money… And charged me for the drive there and back to my house. All in all, a $30 taxi ride. Motherfucking fuck that shit.

Also, I’m a little bit sad; the last thing he said to me last night was “I’ll message you when I get home”, and that never happened. Maybe I’m being impatient; but I really thought things went well and I can’t think of any indicator on his end that they didn’t…

Bleck. I’m full of emotions and confusion. Urghhh…

Oh, if a taxi driver tried to pull that crap on me.. I’m sorry to hear about the tail end of your night, but the rest sounds like fun! Here’s hoping your date pulls through. :)

Sounds like the perfect tea for the night!

I second that about the cab driver… He should have told you his machine was busted, not your fault he had to drive you to your bank machine!

Glad to hear you had a good time on your date… Hopefully he will message or call soon. Guys can be weird about getting back in touch.. Hang in there.

Yeah, I’ve found that guy time is different. “When I get home” can mean anything, even though it sounds specific. Glad you had fun. Hope you hear from him soon.

Bio

Hello! My name is Kelly, though many people in the tea community call me Ros or Roswell.

I am a mid-twenties tea addict, blogger, and all around nerd. I grew up in the Prairies, but a few years ago I relocated to Quebec to pursue a career with DAVIDsTEA in the tea industry! I’m still working on getting my French language skills down…

My first introduction to tea, in any form outside of instant and bottled iced tea, was about seven years ago when I happened to stumble upon DAVIDsTEA while looking for a birthday present for a friend! I tried their Birthday Cake rooibos blend, and I’ve been hooked on tea ever since! In those seven years; I was introduced to the online tea community, expanded my interest in flavoured teas to include a deep love and appreciation for straight teas and traditional brewing methods, got a tea themed tattoo, started reviewing teas, amassed a sizable tea and teaware collection, became a TAC certified Tea Sommelier, & even came full circle by beginning a career in the tea industry with DAVIDsTEA!

I consider myself a Jack of all Teas, and strive to have a knowledge and appreciation of all tea types, formats, and styles of drinking. I don’t like to feel boxed in to just being a “flavoured tea” or “straight tea” drinker – my expectations may vary depending on the type of tea or how it’s been processed/prepared but if it’s good tea, it’s good tea no matter how it’s been made!

You name it, I probably drink it- and I’ll absolutely try anything at least once.

My default method of preparation is hot, Western style, and straight – but I’m not opposed to additions if I’m in the right mood. If I ever add something to a tea or use a different method of preparation I will ALWAYS call it out in the tasting note though.

I like to listen to music when drinking tea, especially when I’m brewing a large pot at a time or steeping Gongfu. Often I curate very intentional tea and music pairings, and sometimes I share them here in my tasting reviews. Music is something that I find can deeply affect the experience of having tea.

I’m also one half of the “tea and fandom” podcast GeekSteep where, weekly, we discuss newly explored fandoms over tea as well as try to figure out the perfect tea to pair with each fandom. You can find us on Spotify and Apple & Google podcasts.

Favourite flavour notes/ingredients: Pear, lychee, cranberry, cream, melon, pineapple, malt, roasty, petrichor, sweet potato, heady florals like rose, hazelnut or walnut, sesame, honey (in moderation), and very woody shou.

Least favourite flavour notes/ingredients:
Lemongrass, ginger, strongly spiced profiles (and most Chai in general), mushrooms, seaweed, chamomile, stevia, saltiness or anything that reminds me too much of meat that isn’t supposed to taste like meat…

Currently exploring/obsessed with: Sheng from Yiwu, Yancha (Qilan in particular), anything with a strong sweet potato note. Also, I need to try ALL the root beer teas! Searching for a really good caramel flavoured blend, ideally with a black tea base.

Please contact me at the instagram account listed below if you would like me to review your teas.

Currently I’m employed in the tea department of the DAVIDsTEA head office. While I’m still sharing my own personal thoughts on new & existing DAVIDsTEA blends, I am no longer numerically rating them due to the obvious conflict of interest. Any comments expressed are a reflection of my own thoughts and opinions, and do not reflect the thoughts and opinions of the company. Any DAVIDsTEA blends you currently see with a numeric score were reviewed prior to my being hired there and have not been adjusted since becoming a DAVIDsTEA employee.
