6 Tasting Notes

Coco Chai Rooibos from DAVIDsTEA
Red Velvet Cake from DAVIDsTEA
68

I’ve yet to go crazy about this one like my friends do, and I think it’s just because I haven’t got it right yet. It does smell quite good and filling, but on the taste side it’s a little weak. Visually, it’s quite beautiful, though, and again it’s great to sniff. I’ll add more thoughts when I’ve tried it out more.

An all right novelty tea. I like fruity green teas, but this one was a tad too sweet and a bit odd-tasting. It had come in a bargain packet at my local David’s, and I can sort of see why. Had my non-tea-drinker brother try it, and he said he liked it, but only because it didn’t taste like tea. Exactly.

Chai Spiced Apple from Twinings
81

An incredibly aromatic tea that to the taste is a bit more like a weaker apple juice than cider or tea, but nonetheless I drink this one compulsively, and the place I make it in always starts to smell like a tearoom.

Genmaicha from DAVIDsTEA
93

This is one of my all time favourite teas, and not just from David’s. I love going to Japanese restaurants, and they always serve this variety of green tea before each meal. I make a cup of David’s genmaicha when I need a positive pick-me-up after a stressful day.
