drank Cardamom French Toast by DAVIDsTEA
2816 tasting notes

Hi Steepster friends!
I haven’t been here much lately as I am not trying a lot of new things lately, most of the tea I’ve been drinking is stuff I am trying to sip down or old favorites I’ve already written tasting notes for.

I’m not a big David’s tea fan but I do love cardamom so I got some of this the last time I was in the store. I have enjoyed this as a breakfast tea most of the time with soymilk added. It definitely has a strong cardamom flavor, so if you don’t like cardamom I would skip this. I’m not sure I’m getting french toast but there is something buttery and pastry like in the flavor.

The only bad thing about this in my opinion is the very sweet after taste. I definitely don’t mind it as much as some of the other tasters did. I wonder if they could have just made this without the added sweetener, after all it’s easy enough to add your own.

Overall, this is better than I thought it would be but I probably won’t repurchase it.

Wow they added cane and coconut sugar here. Yikes!

Sil

yeah i’m so tired of them adding sugar and stevia to everything

Dustin

You like cardamon? Have you tried the Kashmiri Chai yet? It is one of my favorites!

TeaBrat

@Dustin – who makes the Kashmiri Chai? David’s or someone else?
@Indigobloom @Sil – yeah I mean, why!

Indigobloom

Yup. My thoughts exactly. Whyyyyyy!

Dustin

Oh, I’m sorry! I should have clarified that. It is David’s as well. Zhi Tea used to have once that tastes exactly like David’s, but they discontinued it years ago because they weren’t able to keep getting the ingredients from an organic source. I’m super happy to have it back in my cupboard via David’s!

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
