Received this sample of Cardamom Macchiato along with my newest DT order (had to get that free Llama tote bag!)…and of course get some more (on sale) Sunset Matcha! I am now the proud owner of 900g of it! I had to stock up since it looks like its retiring and I want to enjoy this blend for awhile (especially when your person loves it too as a matcha lemonade). Anyhoo, back to the sample. I was super excited to try this one ever since seeing it on a leaked photo of upcoming tea names list on Davidstea fan group on Facebook. The dry leaf smells like licorice to me (which is weird because there’s no licorice in this blend). However, while brewing, it started to smell like coffee (one of the yummiest smells in the world in my opinion). I made it as a hot latte. One taste and it’s instant love! I really like this one. Kinda tastes like coffee crisp at first, then I notice the cardamom/coffee flavor coming through. My wallet isn’t going to be happy with me this Fall/Winter season as I will have to stock up on this one!
