If today was a Butiki afternoon, then tonight was a Davidstea evening.
I should have reversed that order, because now the day is ending on a sour note, literally. That tea note will be the next one I write.
After supper I made a mug of this. Not sure what gave me the urge, but I had this moment of realization like “OMG, you might not like those anymore, you should try them again to see” (I’d been thinking about all my old dessert tea faves, this, banana dream pie, pineapple upside down cake, etc).
So I made this.
And……no. Just no.
Not for me, not anymore.
Once upon a time I’d rated it in the 80’s, I could not believe such a magical dessert tea existed.
Tonight though, so sweet. Sooooo chemical. Oily surface residue. Overpowering smell.
I couldn’t finish the cup. I’m so over these ridiculously sweetened tea concoctions.
It had a bit of a cream cheese note in there, otherwise just…fake sugar.
To the swap pile!
I’m so happy that I decided to never drink this one again.
Rating is being lowered according to my tastes now.

Wowsers. Butiki’s ruined you for DAVIDs! Hahaha.
Butiki and Mariage Freres and Persimmon Tree and Kusmi and Verdant and and and…….
Sigh
$$$$$$ is all I see now, haha
Stupid internet, giving me access to all these delicious teas I’d never even heard of before
Heh. I’m less of a fan now of DAVIDs as I used to be. Having said that, pricey tea does not always equate to good tea (meaning: tea that I enjoy and/or like). There are only a few DAVIDs that I’ll keep in stock now, but really? I’ll try almost anything now, and I’m finding that even more fun than just sticking with the “high end” brand names, that for a while I too only drank.
Oh I am banking on pricy tea not necessarily being equated with “good tea”
I just know that as I figure out what I love now, stocking it in my cupboard is not going to be pretty on my wallet!
I’m really hoping most of those loves will be reasonably priced rather than at MF levels, haha
