drank Bubbly by DAVIDsTEA
1759 tasting notes

This is NOT my cuppa tea. I couldn’t bring myself to finish more than a few sips. Down the drain it went :(
Peach and Jasmine… Very similar to the Buddhas Blend tea. only stronger overall. In fact, they very well might be the same?
Ugh, what a waste of money. I bought this trio pack of teas because I’ve been eying it for a long time and then it was sold out for awhile. I was feeling the need for a pickmeup and this seemed to be my answer.
How sad is it that the only one I liked had no “tea” in it!
I’m disappointed in you David’s. Again. You gotta stop doing that k? :/

Oh – you bought this recently??? Huh. Although based on your reviews I’m not sure I want to try them myself…

I’m up for trying it! That was random, sorry, but I was exploring your page because you follow/talk to a lot of the people I do, and I found this post. And now to follow you… :-)

Do they have certain blends that are only available in stores and not online? I’ve seen a couple DavidsTea blends on your tealog that I’ve never seen online. Man, I wish they would expand to the US… By the way: hello, I’m Kyle! :)

Violet: which one, or both? IM me! I’m following you now to…

Kwinter: Nice to meet you Kyle! yeah there are a few teas that don’t appear on the wall and can be bought only in tins. Sad but true!

If you happen to have enough to give me a 1-cup sample of those two and pass the rest on to Violet, I’d totally love that (but if not, no worries.) I don’t know what sort of size they came in, and couldn’t even find them on the DT site last night.

I think there should be enough!! I’ll see what I can do, but no promises… can’t remember what was left in the tiny tin LOL (exhaustion is a memory thief. Sooooo tired)

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
