Lala drank Organic North African Mint by DAVIDsTEA

871 tasting notes

I received this one as a gift. It is not something I would have normally purchased for myself, but am happy to have any tea as a gift.

When I first opened the package, I immediately thought, this is a chai. Then I read the ingredients and it is very similar to chai. I had just assumed that this one was going to be more similar to a Moroccan mint tea.

The brewed tea smells and tastes just like a green chai tea. There is very strong clove and cardamom taste and aftertaste. There is also a sweet mint taste.

Overall it is a good blend but I prefer a chai with a black base.

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.
