2145 Tasting Notes
Thanks go to momo for this one, I bought it during her sell off sale.
I made Tikka Masala tonight for dinner and that of course called for some chai. I think I should have saved my sample for when I had time to make a latte, I think this would be really good as one.
I love the amount of chili used, it was just spicy enough to remind me that this had chili peppers in it without being overly hot. I think that I would have really enjoyed this if it had used a better quality chocolate. So far, my biggest complaint about chocolate teas have been the low quality chocolate that they use and the fact that they all same to use the same chocolate flavoring that I dislike.
I wish I had more of this so I could play around with it. I only had enough for one cup.
Preparation
Thanks go to scribbles for sending me this one during our swap.
I haven’t had a chance to try many teas from DAVIDsTEA, but I’ve heard a lot of good things so I was really excited to finally make some ice tea out of this. I had a one ounce sample and used the entire thing to make a pitcher of tea which my son and I have been drinking all day.
Honestly, I was surprised by how much I liked this considering the fact that it contains a lot of things that I don’t generally like. It was very sweet, but not overly so, very fruity and exactly like what a tropical blend should taste like. I find that a lot of tropical blends are lacking, and I didn’t feel that way about this one. While this will never make my regular rotation of teas, it is a nice change of pace from what I normally drink and I could see myself ordering it again on occasion if the price were right.
