Meh. I tried a sample of this in-store today, and it was sadly underwhelming. I had wanted to pick up some of all the spring teas from David’s, but I thought it was fortuitous that they were sampling this one today, as I could just try it first. Good thing! It’s definitely not a bad tea, but I just found it completely unremarkable. It was somewhat floral, a little sweet, and a hint of bitter, but nothing really to give it a unique character. I would happily drink a cup of it, if offered one, but I wouldn’t choose it over anything else I already have, so I guess I’ll be giving it a pass. (Which is nice, cos it ain’t cheap!)

Bio

I live in Toronto, Canada, land of the fiercely intense, but short, summer, and absurdly long, equally fierce, cold autumn/winter/spring. Tea, coffee, soup, stew, chilli, mulled wine, and hot cider are staples here for a good part of the year.

Currently, I’m really digging plain black tea, chocolate and caramel accented black teas, and chais. I’m not into super grassy teas, but I like a good, smoky jasmine green. I’m told I should try some lapsang and pu’erh, which I intend to do, but I’m hella lazy. One of these days!

I live with one (very loud) Siamese cat, one (floppy-eared and goofy) Doberman Pinscher, and one (somewhat introverted and stoic) man who indulges me shamelessly. I’m pretty lucky. :)

Edit: What changes life brings! I’ve been caffeine-free for about 7 years now (not by choice!), so I’m mainly drinking decaf Earl Grey and assorted herbal infusions. Alas! Age stole my beloved Siamese, and heart disease took my Dobie. We now share our home with a lively supermutt and an oasis of a vegetable garden.
