drank Blood Orange Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA
121 tasting notes

My first Pu’erh! I thought this type of tea would make my stomach turn like other black teas do but the person who helped me at Davids convinced me my tummy would be happy. He was also nice and brewed me a small sample to make sure I’d be ok drinking it. Brewing it again on my own and I can say I’m in love. So I’m a sucker for blood orange but this tea is very light and I enjoy the licorice root. It’s not a secret though that I do like tart teas with a hint of sweetness so this hits all the notes for me.

It has some hibiscus in it so fair warning, but i don’t taste it as much as I do in other teas and I like hibiscus. I just get a light blood orange with a hint of tartness.

Bio

I became a tea addict after I decided to make some changes to my diet and cut out soda completely.

Teas I like
I love Japanese green teas but I can be a little snobby about them. When I was in Japan I stayed in an area known for sencha, so I can be pretty picky.

Companies I enjoy
I’ve had most experience with Lupicia because they’re very close to me. I enjoy their non flavored green teas and white teas the most. Their flavored teas are good, but it’s usually a hit or miss.
DavidsTea is a bit far but when I make trips to San Francisco I usually buy a bit. I like their herbal teas the most. Their other teas never wow me and have too much flavoring for me.
I like Adagio for their fan blends – I wish more companies did this! The tea isn’t the best quality but I do enjoy my initial steeps.
I found a store near me that sells Mariage Frères. They’re expensive but I don’t think I have had a more delicious cup of tea before.

Tibits about me
I returned to school several years ago and I am finally graduating in March 2014 so I’m really excited to finally be receiving my bachelor’s. I spend my evenings when I’m not studying watching cheesy scifi movies, playing video games, watching video game streams, or stalking the internet for tea. I have an adorable old man kitty who always wants whatever I’m drinking. When I can, I like to sew and knit while I marathon BBC shows or asian dramas.
