2 Tasting Notes

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
91

I feel like Im being a huge wuss tonight and I want to be self indulgent without ingesting any caffeine, so Forever Nuts is my choice. I know its been said before, but the sweet cinnemony cookie taste is really pleasing for my inner child. I hit it with some milk, so it didnt get overly appley (an oversteeping error I have made in the past) and this is definitely how I prefer it.

The first thing that always hits me about this tea is the cinnemon. I shouldnt say it hits me because its not abrasive at all, its a solid presence but very gentle and it stays with me after I’ve swallowed the tea, not in a hot cinnemon way but in a smoothe, baking with allspice and cinnemon way. I deserve this tea tonight.

Love Elixir for Her from DAVIDsTEA
84

There isnt a single ingredient in this tea that I dont like, and they combine beautifully :) The cocoa nib/vanilla/sarsaparilla flavour is smooth and inviting hot or iced, and the playful fruit notes at the end keep it from feeling medicinal or somber. Does it get one in the mood for love? As a hopeless romantic and a lover of tea, its my opinion that tea drinkers in general are especially in tune with their emotions and bodies… and this tea sure doesnt hurt ;)

as a side note, by browser doesnt seem to want to let me update the preparation details, so anything listed outside these notes should be ignored. I steeped according to directions, 98 degrees for 6 minutes :)

Bio

In a crazy busy life, tea is my sanctuary.

My love of tea developed slowly in my childhood when I toddled around drinking luke warm tea to be like mom. Now it is usually I who pops by with a new tea suggestion for my mother and sister, and as a recent breakthrough, my coffee loving father. I am young and busy (what youth isnt busy now?) and at a time in my life where I live every day like a whirlwind, tea is my constant companion. I always have a full travel mug, and a well worn mug in my cupboard at home (cracks and stains be damned, I love it!). During the day it invigorates me, at night it relaxes me. I celebrate with it, I soothe with it, and I love to share it with everyone.

Whatever else I do with my life I will spend it loving and exploring tea.
