Lala drank Blood Orange Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA

871 tasting notes

Blood oranges are my all time favorite food. Where I live, they are only available in the winter months. When I was in the David’s Tea store and saw this blend, I had to try it. I was not sold on the smell and it just smelled citrous and not so much blood orange. But I just had to try it anyway.
I was disappointed as it does not taste anything like blood orange and I find the citrous flavour does not mix well with the taste of the pu’erh tea.
I will most likely take a long time finishing what I have.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
