drank Cranberry Pear by DAVIDsTEA
762 tasting notes

Work today was a roller coaster. Well, not really. It started off rough, got better, and then plunged directly into Hades territory. We woln’t get paid overtime, since Friday we are closed. But there is no way I can get my work done in only 8 hours a day.

A day like this calls for an old favorite tea. Cranberry Pear always reminds me of the first time I tried it. It was at the David’s Tea in Polo Park in Winnipeg. A few friends and I had a little time to kill so we went to get tea. It was a lovely day with lovely friends I don’t see often enough. I bought a few teas, but Cranberry Pear was the best of them. I got 50 grams of it to take take back to the States, and once that was gone I bought it again and again. Now it’s a discontinued tea, unless David’s decides to bring it back. I am hoarding what I have left because I do not want it gone. THIS is the tea I reach for on “challenging” days.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
