Lala drank Bamboozled by DAVIDsTEA

871 tasting notes

I would not normally try or buy this type of tea, however, I was in the store with my sister and smelled almost every canister of tea they had, and my sister conned me into buying this tea, only so she could drink it without having to buy it herself :)
I actually did like this tea once I figured out how to brew it. I use more tea than the recommendation. I find if you brew it for too long, it starts to taste artificial.
There is a strong fruity flavour that complements the vegetal flavour of the bamboo.
This tea has caused me to fall in love with bamboo tea!

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
