Day 12 of the 24 Days of Tea

Hmmm… DavidsTea Are you sure about the brewing instructions???? High 90s and 5-7 mins? I’m sorry but that doesn’t seem right to me… SO I disregarded it and did it for 80 for 3 mins.

At first sniff: This does smell very tropical-like… with a hint of fake smelling hand lotion or Glade room smellers (whatever you call them.) I liked it and didn’t. It had me worried and not.

At first steep: So this brewed up rather weak, but I’d rather it weak than bitter and gross. I have enough to give this another try, so there might be a re-review in the future. The smell brewed smells… faintly aersol-y, cleaner like… like those wipes you can use for your kitchen… really hard to put my thumb on it. It’s OK, but not great. Taste is… yeah…. again… kind of like a cleaner?

Very weird after taste. I’m wondering if it’s because of the rose petals, or other flower petals. It might just be too much other “Green” rather than the green tea. I am not a fan of this tea. I will try the remainder of the sample, but this is on the “no” list.

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.
