606 Tasting Notes

Tried this one as a latte today. I finally succeeded at making one at home that’s delicious! I probably could have made it a bit sweeter, but it’s okay. I got a lot of amazing foam on top too. The chocolate and the hazelnut flavours are just brilliant in this one.

This tea is so amazing. I know I’ll be purchasing more in the future. I still have a bit to go before it’s gone, but when it is, it’s a definite restock. Yum yum yum!!

drank Gingerbread by Adagio Teas

I’m really loving this one. The gingerbread flavour is so good. I didn’t follow the steeping instructions completely (only steeped 3mins instead of 5mins) and I’m really glad I didn’t do the 5mins. I think that would have been too much. But either way, I really like the flavour of this one. It’s so nice! It makes me want to eat a gingerbread cookie!
Milk and a tiny bit of rock sugar added to taste.

Got a free sample of this one when I ordered a couple of yixing teapots.

I didn’t even steep this up. It smells so bad. It smelt like rubber. Even my husband was grossed out by the smell of it. I couldn’t even try it.. Oh well…

This tea is getting a bit aged, but it’s still so good. And I’m planning to finish it soon. I think this tea is so amazing. I don’t like hibiscus, but somehow it works in this one. I don’t even know how! But again, it really works.

Oh I wish this one would come back…

I fail at making lattes at home… I shall try again tomorrow. This one was such a flop… oh well…

What happened?

The tea went bitter even though I timed its steeping time, and then I must not have done the milk right, ‘cause I got like no foam. I used skim milk (all I have in the house) and warmed it in a glass and used my milk frother to try and get the foam.
I’m very confused ‘cause I know making a latte isn’t that hard, but apparently I need some help. haha

I like vanilla. I like chai. I like them together. But I don’t like licorice. It’s just not right and it hits the back of your throat in a weird way… and it makes my cheeks feel weird.

Either way… I like the idea of this tea, but the licorice makes me dislike it so much. I’m sure if I like licorice, then I wouldn’t mind this tea but since I don’t, I don’t like this one at all. I should have known… Anyways, I’ve given the tiny bit left to my aunt. I know she’ll enjoy it or one of her girls will.

I had the same thoughts. Great idea. Blech to the licorice.

drank Blue Lagoon by DAVIDsTEA

What a fantastic blueberry tea! I absolutely love this tea. It’s got some great flavour, plus it steeps a fantastic purple-ish colour and it has a nice lemony touch to it to make it a bit citrusy.

Such a great tea. I’m going to enjoy this one a lot.

SIPDOWN!

Finished this one the other day. Again, it was good, but I wish it had more strawberry flavour to it. Oh well… we’ll have to see what the new Davidstea strawberry tea is like next.

Wow I like this oolong!

I shouldn’t have steeped for 3 mins. I wish I had done a bit shorter, but it is amazing! And the tea leaves in this one are huge! I couldn’t believe it. They were full leaves. The taste of it is absolutely incredible.
This is very much a fruity tea. It’s very sweet but it is good. I get a lot of cinnamon and fruit to it. I think I’ll enjoy what I have left, but I’m not too sure if I would reorder. I have too many other teas that I love more.

drank Cherry Blossom by DAVIDsTEA

I think I over did it with the steeping. I know the water wasn’t overly hot, as I was tending to the munchkin and trying to get him to sleep after the water finished boiling. I steeped for just over three minutes and I’m thinking that was too long. It should have been 2mins I think. It has a hint of bitterness to it.
But it has the floral and a slight bit of cherry flavouring to it. I’m not a huge fan of it, but I’m glad that I got to try it. Personally I don’t fully understand why this tea is so big, but a lot of people love it, so to each their own I guess.

I’m a 30-something-year-old writer. I finished my first novel last year, which I’m editing this year amongst the world’s craziness and hoping to some day get it published. I’ve also written several short stories that I’m looking to get published someday

I work as a paginator (I do page layout for our local weekly newspaper) and absolutely love it! I’m also an amateur photographer.
I’m the proud mommy of two sweet little boys.
I’m married to an absolute amazing man who “puts up” with my tea obsession.

I became obsessed with tea a few years after high school.I started with Orange Pekoe double double (milk not cream), and peppermint. Since that time, I’ve really opened up to other kinds of tea and I’ve well… I’ve kind of just went nuts since then.

I’m a loose leaf fan, but if there are no other options, I will drink bagged.

I would have to say my favourite kinds of tea are (in no particular order): black, puerh cakes, herbal and matcha.

Green teas still aren’t a favourite for me, but I’m working on it.

I still can’t get myself to like mate teas, as much as I try, I just don’t like their flavour.

I drink tea every single day. I absolutely love it. I can’t image my life without it.

I don’t log every time I drink a tea as I don’t want to spam everyone with tons of duplicate loggings, but I will log when I have a new tea, which happens on a regular basis and when I do a SIPDOWN! :D
