I’m loving these new teas from DT!

The looseleaf smells amazing – menthol (peppermint), lime, berries.

Very refreshing coldbrew – a little bit too tart for me. I think it might do best with light sweetener and some spearmint added. Mojitos should be made with spearmint or English mint (or another sweeter varietal like chocolate mint), not peppermint. While the peppermint isn’t terrible or anything, I think spearmint would have gone better. Still, mint + lime is such a good combination. The raspberry is present, but the hibiscus ruins the sweetness that the raspberry should have brought to it. The lime is spot on though, I hope to see more mojito blends in the future. Orange mojito and blackberry mojito would be fabulous.

Flavors: Berry, Citrus, Lime, Menthol, Peppermint, Raspberry

2 tsp

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
