Thank you David Webb for this tea. The result of our recent Davids Tea/Whittard Tea exchange.
This is the first tea I am trying from those I received purely because the ingredients sound particularly delicious. Mulberries, coconut and white silver needle sounds inspired.
Steeping this in my new ceramic Chinese steeping mug, if you haven’t seen the pics on Instagram it’s the type that you remove the ceramic filter from the middle. Since this was large leaf/fruit blend it was suitable for use.
The raw blend smells super sweet and juicy with elements of fruit custard and jelly. Very strong but delicious, enough to tempt me to eat a mulberry from the mix :D Infact even when it’s finished the steeping time I found myself picking at the mulberries, my husband ate a few too!
Flavour is custard and cream like but the fruit has toned down from it’s raw form, though it is still noticeable (particularly in the after taste). Still rather jelly/jam like on the fruit front, probably because it’s so sweet. After a few sips the coconut comes through towards the after taste. The custard and cream really dominant, is it vanilla? Something similar if not. It lingers in the mouth nicely.
I love this one, didn’t expect to but it has everything I look for in a fruit tea. It’s sweet, fruity, creamy and it lingers in my mouth…plus additional bonus for ingredients of such good quality that you can eat them! Looks like another DavidsTea that has made it to my “Seriously need more” pile.
Flavors: Berry, Coconut, Creamy, Custard, Fruity, Jam, Vanilla
oooh! this sounds delightful! :D (and I adore your new mug!)
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s such an unconventional tea. I find it a wonderful surprise every time.
