Chicory Dickory Dock (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

DaisyChubb drank Chicory Dickory Dock (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

eeeyyeaugh!

Bitter!

But you know what, I bet it was an oversteep. I hope? Can you oversteep chicory? haha!
It smells like rootbeer! Real yummy homestyle rootbeer!

Okay I can taste it’s potential. It’s potential for caramel notes, almond and vanilla (kind of an amaretto feeling) , but before I can enjoy that at the beginning of the sip, it coats my tongue with a thick horrible bitterness. I like the chicory in Chocolate Rocket – I resteep that one 3 times some days and it never tastes bitter. I really hope that this tea experience doesn’t ruin Chocolate Rocket for me in the future o_o

The boy loved the flavour, but also hated the bitterness. It’s not a tea, it’s a tisane, so why come it’s so ruined?

Anyone else tried this and have a different experience? I won’t rate until I know if it’s supposed to be this bitter haha.

What was this one called before? I know they renamed it but I can’t remember what it was before.

Was it the Decafinator? That one seems to stick in my mind.

Profile

Bio

You can call me Daisy.

I’m a 24 year old (not so budding) thespian – just moved to the Maritimes from the Saskatchewan Prairies. I’m way too polite, aka Proud to be a Canadian. I love it here by the water – it must remind me of tea or something ;)

My favourite tea companies are DavidsTea and Verdant Tea. They please my palette in different ways – and I love them both for it.

My rating system is as follows:
95-100: I will stock it as soon as I can, if I haven’t already! Permanent collection worthy.

86-95: I would stock this tea if I could, but my collection is just too full to warrant it. But it is that good.

76-85: This is a tasty tea and I will have many cups and share with friends, but won’t go out of my way to keep it stocked.

50-75: It was alright! It was… alright! Not horrible, but I might not re-steep.

25-50: Ew. But I will finish the cup.

1-25: Please no, I want to dump it.

The Steepster community is my safe place. Thank you to all my tea friends!
