TastyBrew drank Alpine Punch by DAVIDsTEA

I’m in complete shock. Seriously. I made this tea because it was the only thing in my sample pouch that was totally herbal and I didn’t mind wasting if I couldn’t taste it. This was one of the samples I received with my David’s order. Not chosen by me. Nor would I have ever chosen a rooibos. I have never liked them. The after taste just kills me. But, wow, this one is really good! Maybe my cold is doing me a favor and blocking the aftertaste in which case it goes to show there is often a silver lining!

Anyway, I’m so glad I made this. Too bad there isn’t enough for another mug on a day I’m not sick. I don’t know if I would order it only because I’m not entirely sure of what it normally tastes like. Or maybe I should order some to have on hand for occasions such as this. Hmmm…

The rooibos is hardly noticeable in this one at all, IMO. Try to acquire a bit more in a swap?

Bio

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.

I’ve always liked tea, but didn’t know much about it until the last year or so and I’m still definitely climbing the learning curve. I don’t taste all the nuances that I read in a lot of people’s reviews, but I do know what I like and don’t like. My preferences with black tea lean towards the stronger variety like Assam and roasty flavored teas, but I really don’t have a taste for smoky teas. I love dessert teas and chai, almost always with milk and honey. As for green tea, I really love nutty & roasted green teas (hojicha, kukicha, Genmai cha), the nuttier the better. I haven’t experimented much outside of japanese green tea. I’ve just started experimenting with oolong and love the milk oolong. Not so sure about the others. I don’t really like herbal teas. I like tea in my tea but there are a few exceptions.

I don’t rate the teas very often as I find I’m not very consistent at all. If I really love one I’ll rate it, but otherwise I’ll just give my thoughts.
