whosbradpitt drank Nepal Black (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA

259 tasting notes

If you want nuanced flavor profiles for this tea, there are more than 150 tasting notes to check out; most of them are much more descriptive than I can be.

At 3.5 minutes steeped, this is a smooth black tea that is only a little bitter on the edges. I drank about half the cup with nothing added, mostly reflecting on how it would make a fabulous iced tea. Something in the scent was giving me the slightest of citrus vibes, but I am not sure whether to trust my nose most of the time.

I finally conceded that I was not going to be able to describe it much past this, and added just a little bit of pumpkin honey. It took those bitter edges off and just made it more pleasant for me as I finished the cup.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
