970 Tasting Notes

Cloud Nine from DAVIDsTEA
94

This tea truly lived up to the description for me. So yummy. I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or if the St. John’s Wort is at work, but I can’t help smiling when I drink this tea. I stocked up on it today because it will soon be gone (so sad!) but oh, I plan on resteeping the heck out of these delicious leaves.

The only complaint I have is that it is so easy to oversteep this and it gets so bitter. My go-to time is 4 minutes, because I like the blacks and oolongs a bit weak and the greens and whites a bit strong, but 4 minutes is definitely too long. This isn’t one I can do without a timer, I always mess it up and then I am so sad!

Oh my God, this tea. I only got 10 grams to start…I didn’t think I’d like it. In fact, I was sure I wouldn’t like it, but since it’s so very popular, I figured I needed to at least give it a try. You see, I don’t like chocolate. It’s okay, but I don’t go crazy for it like most girls.

At first sip, I immediately regretted not buying more. It was a matter of days before I ran out and I was so very sad. It was love at first sip, the way everything worked together…so very yummy. I could see why it is everyone’s favourite. But for me, it satisfies my sweet tooth without being overly chocolatey.

My wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day on Sunday to try and avoid the crowds a bit, but she braved the crowds of the local mall to take me to DavidsTea and buy one of their adorable love tins with 40 g of Read My Lips and four chocolates with Read My Lips-infused middles. Best Valentine’s Day gift ever!

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!
