tigress_al drank Checkmate by DAVIDsTEA

So I decided to try experimenting with this tea a tad bit. The package states to steep this at 98degrees but I thought that it might be scorching the white leaves.
So, I let the water cool off about 2 minutes after boiling and tried it that way.
I got a lot more of the chocolate flavour steeping it this way! Yum…
I am not going to increase the rating at this time because I want to try it once more steeped this way.

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.
