Cookie Dough

Got a free sample of this in my DAVID’s TEA order.

I was surprised that it was a white tea, because to me, cookie dough is a heavy flavor that warrants a black base. Of course, this could also be because I had the Milk and Cookies blend from 52teas last year and that was a black tea blend.

This is one of David’s blends that has a chemical smell to the leaf that somehow hot water makes disappear, leaving behind a surprisingly accurately named flavor behind. There was an off chocolate scent… it almost reminded me of the smell of those chocolate orchids – kind of a cheap, artificial chocolate.

Despite the difference between black and white teas, both Cookie Dough and Milk and Cookies tasted similar to me. Taste wise, though, I think this one fares better than 52teas blend. It actually tastes more like chocolate chip cookies – but not the raw dough. Bummer, because I am that person that likes the dough more than the final, cooked result.

I’m glad I just got this as a sample, though, and not a bigger amount. It met expectations, it just isn’t to my particular taste. Oh well – I have a growing list of favorites from David’s, anyway, so I’m not deprived or anything!

Okay, I’m not going to lie. At first I was SO skeptical when I first heard about a cookie dough tea. I thought it sounded kind of gross, and I also doubted they would be able to make a tea actually taste like cookie dough. OH BOY, am I ever glad to say that I was wrong!!! This tea actually smells and tastes like cookie dough!!! And the fact that it is a white tea, I was even more skeptical because I thought it would become bitter, but I oversteeped it and it still tastes nice and sweet. This tea is definately a keeper, it is white tin worthy! Davids has done it again!!! * tears of joy *

It’s Friday afternoon tea time at my desk. Time for cookies! Well, not really. I’m eating whole wheat crackers and drinking this tea in order to trick myself into thinking I’m having cookies, because I don’t actually have any. Is it working? Well, sort of.

This definitely smells like chocolate chip cookie dough. But I’m not really getting that in the sip; instead I’m getting a nutty vanilla flavor. Hmm. The description says sugar cookies, though the ingredients list cocoa peel and chocolate chips. As it cools, a tiny hint of chocolate emerges. So overall it’s maybe an almond sugar cookie dusted with chocolate. It was tasty, but no match for the real thing (you had big shoes to fill, Cookie Dough. It was a solid effort).

My first impression of this one was meh. But the girls told me to try it as a latte and BAM, there’s my cookie dough. As a slightly sweetened latte it tastes exactly like the raw chocolate chip dough that Pillsbury sells in their tubes. I was really hoping I didn’t have to stock up on any of this seasons but now . . . . I’m doomed.

Even though I had just been in to DavidsTea a few weeks ago, when the Cookie Dough tea from the Winter Collection popped up on my Facebook page, I needed it NOW! So I did what any true blonde would do…instead of going into the store for an instant purchase, I tortured myself and ordered online.

I finally received my box of goodies, with many more teas than just the Cookie Dough! I ripped open the bag and took a sniff….ahhh, pure Heaven! If this tasted as good as it smelled, I would not be disappointed! So I impatiently steeped my tea…then did the sniff test again…again, pure Heaven! It almost had a nutty, caramel smell…so good! Then the taste test. PASS! This is now my new absolute favorite tea! When I take a sip, I am not reminded of cookie dough until the after taste hits.

I decided to make it into a latte…and WOW! If you own this tea, try a latte. It has a creamy, nutty, cookie like flavor. It almost reminds me of dipping my gramma’s fresh baked cookies into milk. Try it!!

I love cookie dough, and it smells deliciously like cookie dough. Very high expectations here.

Taste, a tiny bit of a let down. I found that it tasted more nutty than cookie dough. It is still pretty good, but didn’t really live up to the cookie dough expectation.

So I got this as a free sample with my mug , and I didn’t want to buy a big bag of it and was thrilled when I saw it I squealed with joy! So this tea smelled like cookie dough !! This has a aloft fast of the cookies but I think in trying I stretch the small package I didn’t put enough tea in so it’s now as strong as I would like. But I defiantly life this tea! Next time I will use the whole 1.5 oz

Had some of this tea before my appointment this morning. On my way, it had cooled enough to sip, and I was like, “This really does taste like cookie dough” and although I had added milk and sugar to it, I immediately began thinking how awesome this would be as a latte…possibly with chocolate drizzle or something.

I still think Buttercream is better, but this is really, really tasty. It smells and tastes like cookie dough…what else can a girl ask for? :P

Relaxing with some Cookie Dough before bed. I am so exhausted after a busy day of coughing and Disney movies. I did get some teas packaged up and ready to send, so when I go out tomorrow I can hit the post office. And I am very impatiently awaiting my Valentine’s Day delivery of more DavidsTea. Yum. YUM.

This is a terrible tasting note, but there isn’t much left to say about this tea. It tastes like I am eating raw cookie dough. Which is amazing. It is amazing.

Omg off to DavidsTea again today to get 50g of Lime Gelato. Well they were out of Lime Gelato but I left with a bunch more 10g samples ah! So bad, yet so good haha. I’m just steeping Cookie Dough now (which yep, you guessed it – smells great dry).

Oh yum! Yep like liquid cookie dough (but not overpoweringly sweet). I’m tasting the the chocolate for sure and surprisingly whatever nut taste is in there isn’t turning me off this tea. Another great one from DavidsTea :)

Hmm which shall I try next?

Om nom nom nom, cookies…. nom nom… wait… there’s no noms… it’s just tea. It’s hard to believe that they could invent liquid cookie dough, but, it appears to have been done.

This is a rather yummy tea, it does take a certain mood for it though. It’s something that does certainly satisfy a sweet-tooth or craving for cookies though.

8/10 Would sip again.

My B-day was this past saturday (March 2nd. My 37th.) And my Dad asked what I wanted, (Tea, of course! Is there anything else? grins) So after thinking about it and looking at the gift sets on David’s Tea, I found that The Winter Collection had a few teas that I wanted to try, so I sent my Dad an email with a link to the gift set, it took him a few days to get to it, but finally he did, I asked to add 2 teas to the order (If I paid him for it of course! Jessie’s Tea and Coco Chai Rooibos. Was tempted to ask for more to get the free shipping, but no other tea had really impressed me that much, and I didn’t feel brave enough to order a full 50 g for a tea I hadn’t tried.)

Anyways, on to the tea: This was 1st on the list! I knew when I read the reviews of this tea that I had to try it and soon. I mean tea that tastes like cookie dough?!
1st smell: sweet, decadent, though there seemed to be a faint undertone of something funky and not to pleasant. I sit down to take my 1st sip.
It’s nice….though truthfully I cannot say that I am impressed. I am however, going to get some German rock sugar soon, so I’ll save the rest for that. Some teas just don’t respond well to sugar substitutes.

I’m drowning in love for this tea. elizabeth229 is my tea hero, THANK YOU!!

I was skeptical because I’m not a huge white tea drinker but I’m a huge dessert tea drinker so I wasn’t sure which this would be more of or if I’d be left with the desire to eat an entire tub of cookie dough because this didn’t hit the bar. Yeah, well, it did. I cannot believe how well DAVIDs got the flavor on this one. I get like a burnt caramel, a slight cocoa, a rich vanilla. I’m in love.

I can’t wait for another cup of this, this is seriously like the smell of chocolate chip cookies still in the oven. That warm bakey smell when your mouth is watering just waiting for the timer to ding. It’s like digesting that aroma. How incredible is that??

So I have literally been dying to try this tea because when I was little I remember the texture and taste of the dough left over from my mother’s baking..I would roll it into balls and drop them on my tongue the texture and sweetness I can still remember to this day and every time I am near baking of any kind I salivate in remembrance.

Of course dry it smells nothing like dough which worries me ..smells chocolaty sweet but has no resemblance to what my memory possesses.

I did a full 7 minute steep so full flavour should be the forecast.

Once steeped it smells smells sweet and malty bright notes of sweetness fill the air and the liquor in my glass mug is honey like with sediment.As it cools the aroma becomes more and more like cookie dough imagine my nostalgic delight! Not a perfect representation but it does the job nicely.

As for taste…..so light..creamy and sweet..it is like Buttercream but with less heaviness..I think this would be a lovely iced tea..I do wish it was heavier but it is lovely.

This tea is for people who crave sweet tea but don’t want to add sweetener. It is also for people who loved Buttercream.

Not sure if I will buy more I need to experiment with making it more everything..sweeter…maltier and heavier.

Meh. As predicted, after the beauty that was Oatmeal Raisin Cookie from Della Terra Teas, this cookie tea just didn’t hold up. The chocolate in it tastes like dark chocolate and it was ultimately forgettable. Meh. It got me through work and that’s about it. It was good, but I’m glad we only got a little of it.

I like DAVIDsTEA for their fun teas and cute tea names! Cookie Dough is surely a tea that will catch your attention. I mean, who doesn’t like cookies?? ;)

Opening the small packet of tea sample was like opening a jar of chocolate chip cookies. The rich aroma of cocoa raised my expectation for this tea – though I was sure that it would taste more like dessert than tea, just like most of the blends from DAVIDsTEA. And I saw a pretty large piece of walnut (would it release flavour when infused!?) in the sample!! I almost ate that right away!

As expected, I couldn’t really taste the tea base… I guess it wouldn’t make much difference to use white tea or oolong because the cup was completely dominated by flavours of cocoa, caramel and nuts. I might not know it contained tea if I didn’t brew it myself :P It’s sweet on the whole, though a few sips tasted bittersweet like coffee with milk and sugar. Wow… a great guilt-free teatime treat! Anyone has tried this with milk? I reckon that it will be magic!

Since there is no David’s Tea in Red Deer, a good friend of mine brought along some tea when she came to visit me this weekend. Thank goodness for awesome friends! When I saw this come up on the David’s Tea website, I knew I had to have it.

The dry scent is sublime. It’s definitely cookie dough, through and through. There was a half a walnut in the scoop, so I broke it into a few pieces to blend better with the rest of the tea.

Steeped, it really is like liquid cookie dough. Now, I’m not one for eating raw cookie dough (too afraid of raw eggs) but I’m all for sweet teas, especially those that moonlight as dessert. I like it plain, but a teeny bit of sugar brings out dough aspect for me. I’m going to have to take the other reviewers’ suggestions and try this as a latte as well :)

Yummy! I truly taste cookie dough when I sip this. It’s pretty sweet, as you would expect, it would actually serve to replace dessert if that’s what you were hoping to do. I think drinking this along with a cookie would actually be a sweetness overload! I will probably go out of my way to buy more of this before Davidstea gets rid of it forever!

Received some of this is a swap with shakirah1984, thanks again!
At first sniff I get something nutty or toffee like, but if I breathe a bit deeper… ah yes chocolate-chip cookie dough. Yum.
Taste wise, it’s not quite where I’d like it. I think it’s the nuts throwing me off again. There is some nice caramel in there, and a bit of cocoa. It’s good, just not sure I’d go out and buy a bunch. Glad I got to try a little sample first!

Tea: 2 tsp

I feel like I’ve been so busy lately! With work and jamming with my new guitar buddy I have had absolutely NO time to log new teas. I was saving this one for my day off and it’s finally here! Thanks to DavidsTea for sending me a lovely sample.
The aroma of this tea is amazing. The flavor is even more amazing. It actually tastes like cookie dough. Seriously this tea is probably one of the best teas I’ve had in a while! I’m so happy I got to try it because I didn’t think it was going to be worth buying. Now I’m off to order some more :D
