OMGsrsly drank Persian Apple (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

I was pleasantly surprised by this tea! A friend loves it, so I included it in a recent order for her… and then I stole a sample tin before I handed it over.

The green tea is really quite mild, and it smells strongly of apples. Normally I don’t like rose in my tea, but in this one it’s really good. I’m not sure how to distinguish everything, but it’s an appley, nutty, floral, slightly green tea. Yum! If it has indeed been discontinued (it’s not available in the local stores, but it’s also not in the Last Chance section of the website), I might add 50 or 100g of it to my next order.

Black teas are my favourite, although I do drink the occasional green tea. I am exploring herbal and fruity teas for summer icing and winter evenings, and oolong and pu erh are new and exciting… although I do not like an oolong that tastes mostly of seaweed. I avoid mint, and my BFF is allergic to raspberries, so I read a lot of ingredient listings.

I have discovered that I do not like teas that are too roasty and toasty. Some Rig Red Robe teas are ok, some Yunnan Blacks are ok, some hojichas are ok. Just some. I seem to prefer traditional blends (oh Irish breakfast), Assam, Ceylon and Nilgiri types as unflavored morning caffeine boosts. Flavoured black teas are closest to my heart, and therefore take up the most room in my stomach.

My ratings are based on the little faces, and depend on what face I make when I sip the tea! :)

(Isn’t that a bling-tastic tea cup?)
