970 Tasting Notes

Rooibos de Provence from DAVIDsTEA

Ugh. Every time I wander away from DavidsTea, I regret it. We were downtown today with the Bears of Toronto. Over the summer, they had an all-weekend event that we helped out with, and we discovered this little shop downtown. It’s your typical coffeeshop, but with a wall of teas as well. At this point, I hadn’t discovered looseleaf teas, and I was blown away by the pumpkin festival latte I had to wake me up one morning. But the wall of tea tins is ridiculously tall with hard-to-read labels, and the raspberry black latte I had today was just plain awful. I couldn’t even finish it. Next time I will definitely remember to make my tea in a travel mug before leaving the house, lest I be stranded again without tasty tea.

This one is delicious. It’s kinda like forever nuts without the beetroot, but…different? I don’t know. It tastes nothing like it smells, which isn’t a bad thing. It smells delicious and it tastes delicious, just in different ways. I’m curled around a big mug of it right now and I look forward to many more in the future! I can’t wait to cook with it.

Ugh, my mother in law gave me her cold (thanks!) and I am desperately trying to fight it off. Secret Weapon to the rescue! I love this tea and look forward to resteeping for the rest of my evening. It’s yummy and if I’m lucky I’ll just cough for a few days instead fighting the full-on flu! Goji berries, do your thing!

So I was not fond of this tea at all, thinking it far too bitter, amazed that it could be so bitter, even with sugar…and then my wife tells me she forgot to add sugar when she steeped it. So, with sugar, I am looking forward to enjoying a cup of this and dreaming of summer. (Go away, snow!)

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
