Cardamom French Toast

To me, this tea tastes like brown sugar. I really like it! The flavor goes nicely with the mild black tea. I got it in a Christmas sampler last year, and I’ve been considering buying a big tin of it, but I have a lot of caffeinated teas to work through first.

Home – 7:30 PM

I really need to get through trying and rating all of my David’s Teas. I don’t generally order from them anymore (except for some teaware stuff) because I’m often disappointed in their blends. It’s nothing against them, they’re just not a tea seller that I enjoy as much as some others. So I’d like to get through tasting all of the David’s Tea blends in my cupboard so I can separate out the ones worth keeping and send the rest on to someone else who will appreciate them more.

This one’s not bad. It definitely mostly tastes like cardamom, as the name would suggest. I used to dislike cardamom, but it’s grown on me over the past couple of years. Anyway, this tea reminds me of cinnamon toast more than french toast. I don’t know if that’s something other people commonly make, but basically it’s just toast that you butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then put it under the broiler until the sugar melts into a crispy crust and the toast edges get extra toasty.

This is missing the butter element, but otherwise it’s similar. Obviously in this case, it would be cinnamon-cardamom toast. There are definitely notes of brown sugar and burnt sugar, most likely because of the sweetness added by the sugar in this blend. I can taste a hint of vanilla as well.

Iced was quite good

I didn’t have this one in my virtual cupboard but it’s a sipdown nonetheless. This is one of those comfort teas that I keep around in large quantities and pull out whenever I have guests or tea requests by housemates.

This easy peasy cardamom black tea that takes so well to milk/mylk and pleases all the people at this time of year. I both love and hate that sugar is part of the blend (it works here though). Also, tastes eggy and “french toast-y” so it’s a win even for me.

Smells wonderful dry. Tastes like chai. I might not have enjoyed my cup so much if I didn’t add milk and sugar, though.

I don’t know how much this tea really reminds me of French toast, but it does taste nice. It’s smooth and the cardamom is there but not to the extent that you’d taste in a chai (which is good—-I like chai but that wasn’t the flavor profile I was after with this one). I started with this tea unsweetened and note flavors, in order of prominence, are black tea, cinnamon, then cardamom. The coriander may very well be in there but I don’t use that often as a spice so I’m having a hard time recalling what it tastes like. The tea is naturally just a bit sweet. I added a teaspoon of agave/monk fruit/stevia sweetener and that brought it a step closer to feeling like French toast to me. I think this would be delicious served as a latte sweetened with maple syrup.

Today this seems more like a cup of sugar and spice instead of tea. It does taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal with cardamon on top. Somehow it doesn’t quite satiate the desire for tea though.

Smells heavenly, tastes a little sweet and pretty pleasant to drink

This tea in loose leaf form is very inconsistent , but when its right meaning there’s enough of all the ingredients mixed together its fantastic ,Its just like the name implies

This tea lived up to my expectations. It tastes exactly like you would expect and it’s delicious. Overall, this makes a better dessert tea than something for the morning but I’m glad something so sweet in fragrance contains caffeine; something that I don’t always see this company do.
