Another from M Mack’s stash sale!
I’ve tried this one before, but only once and we get a lot of people in the store looking for it/sad its been retired so I’ve been interested in revisiting it for a while to see what the fuss is about and revaluate. This stash sale let me do that, so I happily snatched up what she was selling.
Today I iced it because that’s how I’ve heard so many customers say it was most enjoyable. I guess actual ginger beer is something you would generally drink cold anyway, so makes sense. It genuinely does remind me of a less sweetened sort of ginger ale kind of flavour, and I guess that’s essentially what ginger beer is? I don’t love ginger that much personally, and when I am into it it’s generally when it’s paired with something sweet or fruity. I get some fruit from the apple and raisin so I’m like half satisfied overall but I definitely want more of a sweeter ginger ale kind of flavour overall. I could probably achieve that with agave, I’d just rather not sweeten this if I didn’t have to.
Yeah, it’s not bad overall – for a ginger tea and as someone who isn’t normally into that flavour it’s completely drinkable and overall pleasant; it’s just not blowing my mind the same way it has for the people who come back to the store frantically searching for more of it. I’m glad I revisited it though; from a work perspective it’s always good to have familiarity with the blends we don’t carry anymore so I can offer the best possible replacement when people come looking for a top up we’re not able to give.
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.
