150 tasting notes

I bought this tea when they were having a massive web special on it, took a complete blind chance on it. I like it. I like how pretty it looks dried and it doesn’t have an offensive licorice taste like I was worried it would. I pick up on the coconut and chocolate and there are a decent amount of tea leaves to other stuff in the mix. It was a good morning cup, I was taking a break from The O Dor.

I had it with milk and stevia and then a second cup with just milk and it was good both ways. Robust but delicate at the same time. It’s probably one of my favourite teas from DT.

I’m happy you liked it after splurging on the web special. It would have been a lot to get rid of had you not.

I bought it too though! It’s still sitting unopened on my shelf as a few days before I bought it, I also grabbed 50g in store. <3 That’s pretty much gonna last me for years.

You didn’t like it at all?

Oh, no! I do like it! Sorry – I shouldn’t be commenting this late. :P I bought 50g and really liked it, and then splurged on the huge web special pack, but I’m still working on the original 50g (nearly done). So, I think at this rate it will probably take me a while to drink it all, unless I drink a cup of it daily. I love the star anise though.

Bio

My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.

It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.
