CelticBrew drank Turmeric Glow by DAVIDsTEA

91 tasting notes

I received a sample pack of Turmeric Glow with my most recent order from DAVIDs. It’s an interesting combination of ingredients – pineapple, carrots and blackberry leaves with ginger and turmeric. Ginger is the most prominent note in the tea’s aroma both brewed and in the packet. I find despite the pretty rose colour to the tea that I don’t taste much besides some sweet pineapple and spicy ginger notes. I’m not really liking that combination. I enjoy ginger by itself, like in the Super Ginger tea by DAVIDs, but the sweetness mixed in with this just doesn’t compliment it at all. As for the namesake of the tea, I find turmeric strangely absent/overshadowed by the ginger.

Flavors: Ginger, Pineapple

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 5 g 12 OZ / 355 ML

Oh weird, I would have expected the Turmeric to be ultra strong in this one.

It surprised me too. Maybe the sample pack didn’t have the right ratio of ingredients.

Profile

Bio

I’m a mid-thirties tea loving guy on the West Coast of Canada. Only really got into tea in the last 6 years largely because my exposure to tea was always bagged rather than loose before that. It wasn’t long for me to become hooked with loose leaf tea though.

My favourites are fruity black teas, chocolate and dessert teas and fruit/nut blends.

Other interests include films, meditation, reading, writing and computer games.

Working on living healthier and sweet teas are a nice alternative to full desserts and other sugary snacks and drinks for me.

I only rate teas once and use the following spectrum:
100 – Only one tea receive this from me. It’s that good.
95 – Only three teas receive this from me. They are that good.
90-94 – These are top rated teas for me but fall just short of my top 4 or ultimate tier teas.
80-89 – Very pleasant, enjoyable. Would definitely purchase again but wouldn’t necessarily rush out for it.
70-79 – Decent teas. They had their charm while they lasted but I’m undecided about buying them again.
60-69 – Alright teas. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing amazing either. Unless it’s on sale, I won’t buy again.
50-59 – Meh, I can take or leave this. There’s something about it that borders on dislike for me.
40-49 – Sorry this one’s just not for me.
30-39 – Definitely not for me. Wasn’t able to finish it.
0-29 – How dare they call this “tea”.
