Heather Martin drank Ceylon Star by DAVIDsTEA

Was a TTG this afternoon, and it was on the house, which was a really nice treat. I got it with soy and agave, and I really found there was not much taste, which I think is partly the soy milk…maybe too much, or maybe I didn’t steep this long enough. I am reserving my rating until I brew myself a cup. I got 6 grams to try at home.

soy DEFINITELY overpowers it. It’s not an overly strong tea to begin with. I find it’s a very forgiving tea to steep longer than suggested too, as Ceylon doesn’t get bitter as quickly as, say, a darjeeling. Try adding just a couple tablespoons of the soy in the last minute or so of steeping, and it should help round it all out. I personally prefer using almond milk as it’s a bit milder than soy, but the tea lends itself WAY better to cows milk, from what I’ve tried.

I’m trying it today at home right now…it is currently steeping. I’m going to do my straight test first, then add sugar and milk (cow) but I will be careful to not add too much. I do think the soy overpowered it.
