I loved this when it first came out and ordered a lot of lattes made with it. Maybe that’s what ruined it for me when fixed as a regular tea. When I made a cup at home, I noticed a peculiar mineral taste that made it less palatable. I assumed this was due to the fact that I don’t filter my water, or hadn’t descaled my kettle in awhile, so I didn’t think too much of it. But then, the next cup that I had prepared at DT also conveyed this same strange note. My tastebuds sometimes perceive chamomile as tasting a bit “dusty”, so that might be why. Perhaps when brewed up strong enough for a tea latte, the fruit flavours and vanilla dominate the chamomile. In any case, I enjoyed it for the season, but I won’t be terribly sad when it disappears from the shelves.

I agree with you on the mineral taste and would believe the chamomile is to blame. I just brewed a cup myself (about 96C, used one David’s Perfect spoonful) and found the same thing actually.

Adding milk and raw sugar does improve it, however, it kind of sucks that there’s only one way to enjoy this tea.
