Vanilla Orchid from DAVIDsTEA
93

So I had the vanilla oolong from David’s tea in December, but it was replaced by the vanilla orchid, so I decided to try it out. And it is also part of my goal to expand my knowledge of wulong teas. So I stopped by DT yet again on Monday morning and got this tea.

First Steep: On the bus ride to campus this tea drove me nuts with it’s enchanting and creamy/ vaniilla-y smell. The scent of this tea is so rich and inviting. The taste is light and creamy, kind of ice cream-like. It has a rich dark green, almost light brown colour. The taste is smooth and not too overpowering. It is a very cheerful drink.

Second Steep: My friend was with me at this steeping. She said it smelt like apricots. To me it was very much the same as the first steep in terms of smell and taste.

Bio

I recently have been fighting of sickness after sickness, but I am back and can fully appreciate my tea once again ! I started writing a tea journal to keep a log of all my teas, since I cannot be on here everyday. So I will have more in-depth notes for future tea logs. I recently bought a tea book to learn all things tea, which includes how to properly taste tea…. so as I keep reading this beautiful work, I will learn the new vocabulary in all things tea-tasting!!!

Tea enthusiast, I love all things tea. Hot, iced or in a food of mine… if it’s tea, I love it. I have a fascination with tea and the many wonderful flavours I just haven’t gotten around to yet. I have recently fallen head over heels with two different tea companies. One is Canadian, David’s Tea, so I’m showing my national pride. The other is called Kusmi Tea, which originated in Russia, but is now in France.

I love mostly black and green teas ( preferably jasmine). I am always willing to try new teas. I have dabbled in rooibos, and white. I am not the biggest fan of herbal teas.
