tea-sipper drank Eucalyptus Mist by DAVIDsTEA

4337 tasting notes

Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – July 2023 Tea #8 – A tea you regret not buying more of

I have been hesitant to finish this one! I loved the sample I was able to try, so I really wish it hadn’t disappeared from the website before I was able to buy some. (Or maybe it will be brought back…someday…) It’s just SUCH a eucalyptus/aloe tea! Cooling on a hot day! A great mix of ingredients/ flavors… including the cucumber slice I spotted. A perfect blend IMO. I was worried waiting longer to sip this down would ruin it, but it tastes just the same as two years ago. It’s so tasty! Three excellent steeps. I was trying to refrain from gulping. Might be my favorite blend ever from Davidstea? If anyone has any of this they want to swap for, let me know…

I was thinking about this tea today as I walked through the Asian market and saw the aloe drinks!

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
