drank Pumpkin Cheesecake by DAVIDsTEA
2816 tasting notes

It seems like I am coming down with a cold, I’ve been sniffling and sneezing a lot in the last few hours. I’m hoping it’s just allergies but who knows… took a Benadryl and some Vitamin C to try and cover both bases.

I’ve been wanting to try this one. I have to say, it strikes me as a spicy rooibos blend that definitely has a lot of nutmeg in it. I enjoy the flavor but am not really picking up cheesecake. I think my tastebuds seem to be off due to all this sniffling, so I will avoid rating this one for now until my nose is back to normal. :) It feels good to be drinking something warm and soothing. yay for tea!

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML
Rosehips

I don’t get the cheesecake either. Or the pumpkin, for that matter. It is very warm and spicy, though.

The pumpkin patch is VERY spicy, I think I am a bit afraid of it now, lol

I really enjoyed this one, since I’m not getting the rooibos flavor (not a big fan of rooibos in general), and I don’t find this overly spiced. I noticed that many people aren’t picking up the cheesecake part, but for me, it ends up being a certain (VERY) slightly tangy creaminess (maybe from the white chocolate?) – very subtle, or it’s just my imagination! Anyway, I love this tea for the autumn – not as much as the infamous Pumpkin Chai, but that’s pretty hard to beat.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
