mrs.stenhouse12 drank Salted Caramel Matcha by DAVIDsTEA

1186 tasting notes

DavidsTEA Matcha Advent Calendar 2020 – Day 5

Taking a page out of Roswell Strange‘s book tonight haha – this was the matcha advent day #5, but it was in white chocolate format! Haha so it wasn’t labeled…so I had to actually message Roswell Strange to confirm what tea was in the chocolate lol. It was very sweet and good, and did not last very long…but I had no idea what it was, as I haven’t had the Salted Caramel matcha yet!

I also got the hubby to read the ingredients on the back of the box to try to help me deduce what it was…unfortunately to no avail hahaha. Ah well, it was very good, although I confess – I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a matcha tea to make to go along with it! Would love a pairing next year (chocolate + smaller amount of tea for one day). Very tasty though!

Will leave off a rating until I actually try the tea itself lol.

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
