26 Tasting Notes

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
6

I didn’t like this tea at all.
Because it’s a “bestseller”, I thought I’d take a risk with it, not knowing what to expect. Plus the gimmick of it turning pink when steeped was too much for me to resist.

I tried it, and I couldn’t even finish a full mug. I don’t even know what to do with my remaining stash. It had a strange aroma after it was steeped. After taking a few sips, I had to put it down. I don’t think any amount of milk or sugar would improve the taste either. It tasted to me like liquid muffin. What would be the sense in drinking a muffin?!?! It was just too bizarre for me. It also had a very strange after taste.

I don’t think I’ll be touching this tea again. Now I just have to see if any of my co-workers are brave enough to take the rest of my tea…

Vanilla Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
98

My favourite tea from DavidsTea hands down.

Although for an Oolong, it has very little resteep value, the vanilla really adds a new dimension to this traditional tea. The sweetness of the aroma creates a smoothness and creaminess that is unparalelled by other variations of Oolong.

If you love a simple tea that doesn’t require sweetener, cream, or any other types of ‘additions’ and if you like the sweetness of vanilla without having to go the dessert route, this tea is a great addition to your collection.

Many prefer the Milk Oolong, but I find that the Quangzhou Milk Oolong smells better than it tastes (and in my opinion, smells better pre-steeped than when wet), while the Vanilla Oolong has an aroma that lasts through the entire steep to sip process.

I think teas that can stand on their own are the best. The only thing that could improve this tea in my books, is if it had more resteep value.

Otherwise, it’s the closest thing to perfection. A great every day tea, or a nice “comfort tea”. What more could I ask for?
