drank Cardamom Macchiato by DAVIDsTEA
1154 tasting notes

It’s been a rough couple of weeks so I decided to treat myself to a little shopping trip to Davidstea while I was in the neighborhood. I ended up getting the matcha miso soup tea for the coming cold nights, but this cardamom macchiato blend was one of the samples. Honestly it’s delicious and I would have bought some on the spot except that it has coffee and black tea in it, neither of which my stomach tolerates particularly well. But the creamy coffee flavor is dead on and the cardamom adds a gentle spiciness. I am a little skeptical of DT’s claim that this is a low-caffeine tea given the ingredients, but other than that I would totally recommend it.

Flavors: Coffee, Cream, Spicy

I also wondered how this could possibly be a low caffeine tea. But then… the coffee beans are full beans (and thus only really impart flavor, you need to grind them to do much with them) and I honestly couldn’t find one black tea leaf in the two cups I made myself of this.

So… it’s possible? Did you react at all to the coffee or black tea in this?

I normally get the jitters from coffee, and I didn’t at all with this drink.
