Not Recommended

Alyssa drank Berry Refreshing by DAVIDsTEA

58 tasting notes

I went to the David’s Tea location on Queen St. West the other day and requested Berry Poppins. Sadly, it was a seasonal tea that they no longer had. Instead, this tea was recommended to me.

I requested it iced with a few pumps of agave. I’m not sure if this last request was denied, but there definitely was no sweetness in it. Instead, I felt a strong tone of lemongrass with mild undertones of wild berries. Although I did finish it, I don’t think I’d go back to buy some loose tea.

Flavors: Bitter, Huckleberry, Lemongrass

Preparation

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec

My foray into steeping happened with tin of Oreo cookie and salted chocolate caramel tea, back in college in 2009. I probably bought them for the novelty more than the taste— which sounds like a reason for many of my college-era purchases. The lovely little tea store was bought out by David’s Tea soon after I finished college. While I do enjoy getting tea from places other than malls, it’s difficult to find quality without going online. Most of my stash ends up being from there due to convenience.

I’m an early childhood educator. Tea is a big part of my daily life. I’ve yet to find anything as soothing and as energizing as it.

I’m on a big kick of blacks and herbals, especially straight ones.

90-100: Must get more of this. One sample isn’t enough.
80-89: Great! Would drink it again sometime
60-79: Decent, but probably won’t go back for more
40-59: Glad I tried, but one cup is enough
~40: No thanks. Never again!
