#ProjectTeaWall
So there’s a story to accompany this tea…
So last night at DAVIDsTEA work one of our staff members accidentally locked the stock room/staff room key into the stockroom and because of a long series of unfortunate, overlapping circumstances we had absolutely NO access to a spare key to get back into the stock room…
It was kind of a big deal because it looks like we wouldn’t be able to get into the room until Monday and from a store perspective it’s bad if we run out of tea/merchandise and can’t replenish the stock in the store. From a personal perspective, it was far worse because my house keys were in the now locked stock room and both my roommates were out of town so I had NO WAY into my house.
I was kind of panicking a little bit…
I ended up spending the evening at a friend’s house and this morning/early afternoon the store was able to get a locksmith in the open up the door so we could get the stock room keys and my house keys. Thankfully. I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if I couldn’t get into the house for a few days. The poor pets, too.
This morning I made us both my friend and I matcha shots because I felt like we needed to really jump start our day. I was actually really pleasantly surprised to see that she had this tea, because it’s the only matcha I have left to cross off for Project Tea Wall but we never seem to have it in store when I’m working. It’s always back ordered because when we do get shipments in it sells so fast I can’t try it myself…
It was a little hard to get a real taste of it in matcha shot format, but I will say that as far as matcha shots go it was pretty smooth! I got a slight sense of creaminess for it, and a kind of “fresh” vegetal quality? I see someone else here on Steepster has described it as “bamboo” and I think that’s pretty close to accurate to what I picked up.
Anyway; I’m home now! It kind of put a bit of a damper on my day off not being able to spend it at home, vegging out like I’d wanted. It was an adventure, though?
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
