tigress_al drank Gold Rush (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

I steeped it at 4 and 7 minutes and tried it and it was weak, then I remembered some notes on here saying to steep it for 10 minutes. So I tried it and wow, that is good.
It is sweet, smooth, creamy caramel.
I would give it a 100 rating but it is so darn expensive.
I ate the mulberries after steeping and they were yummy.
I don’t think I could get a 2nd steep out of this though.
Definitely a re-buy though.

I have now to “rush” and get me some of that!

I haven’t tried this one, is the caramel taste overpowering?

I wouldn’t say it is overpowering, it really is quite sweet though.

You can for sure get a second steep out of it! Let the tea sit for 11 or 12 minutes the second time, with a little hotter water than the first go around, and it’s amazing!

thanks for the info Lynne-tea, and I read your tasting note and will definitely try a second steep next time around!

Bio

Hello,
I am a nurse, I love to do so many things: reading, card making, scrapbooking, photography, playing with my nieces, shopping, and of course TEA!

I only started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I had a DavidsTea for the first time and have been obsessed ever since! My favourite is probably white but I have black every morning to wake me up! I enjoy most flavours out there! My favourite flavours are nutty, fruity, chocolate, jasmine, tropical.

Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.
