Oolong Owl drank Glitter & Gold by DAVIDsTEA

1271 tasting notes

I thought I drank all of this, but I found 2 servings squirrelled in bottom of a tea tin in a random spot. Sigh /adds back into cupboard

I got it to sparkle today. I used DT’s perfect tea infuser in a glass mug – the tea looked like fine glitter rotating around, very pretty. I’m thinking we need more entertaining tea like this or like DellaTerra’s cinnamon crackle poprocks tea.

Anyways, I feel this tea smells better than it tastes – such strong spice cake smell, but taste is quite light. Maybe I’m wanting a chai instead. Ooooh.. sparkle chai.

Profile

Bio

I’m a tea blogger – The Oolong Owl
www.OolongOwl.com – I do tea reviews, obsessively photograph teas with mischievous crocheted Owls and get tea drunk. I am also a crochet and knitting designer at Awkward Soul Designs.

To contact me for reviews, check out details at OolongOwl.com/about or email me at [email protected]

I was raised on floral oolongs and green teas, mostly “beauty” teas. Early on as a kid, I can guzzle an entire pot of tea (or two) at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.
These days I like adventurous and interesting tea blends. I’m fearless in trying new teas! I’m into oolong, pu’erh, white, green, black, guayusa, mate and herbals. I’m not into red rooibos but I keep buying it anyway.

The tea brand that got me started into loose leaf teas was DAVIDsTea. I used to live in Vancouver Canada and had access to their shop, however that is now limited since I moved to southern California.

However, the perks of living in the US is ultra cheap, fast shipping! Since then, my tea stash insanely expanded.

Other stuff I’m into that sneaks into my tea notes: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, metal music, drawing, painting, cooking, photography and nail polish.

BTW, my Steepster cupboard is not even close to accurate and I track my teas on a spreadsheet. Last update 573 Teas – August 2015.
