14 Tasting Notes

87

I typically prefer black tea to green tea and I am fairly new to loose teas in general. I do enjoy citrus (orange, lemon, bergamot) in my teas so I figured I’d purchase 25g while at DAVIDsTEA in Quebec City.

I must say I really like it. Perhaps I haven’t liked green tea in the past because I used to steep it with boiling water (whoops!). Following the instructions provided I really enjoyed this light and fragrant tea. Second steep was quite good as well.

I still prefer black tea to green, but I could see myself purchasing this again.

This is a solid, simple chai. I prefer it black but my wife likes it as a latte as well. Great spice for cold-weather months.

For a commercially sold, bagged tea I really like this. The lemongrass and spearmint are balanced very nicely. I always have some of this around the house.

First let me start with this disclaimer: (1) I am new to the world of loose teas (thank you DAVIDsTEA in Quebec City!) and (2) I like black tea and lemon together.

With that said, of the handful of different teas I have tried thus far, this is definitely my favorite. No sweetener required (though a bit of honey or agave is great too). Perhaps this isn’t the most “exciting” tea ever, but I think I’ll always have some around at my house.
