Lala drank Chicory Dickory Dock (Organic) (Formerly The Decaffeinator) by DAVIDsTEA

871 tasting notes

From the Great Canadian TTB.

This isn’t one I would have bought for myself. But reading the ingredients I thought I would like it. I don’t mind chicory.

To me this tea tastes like those flavoured cappucinos that you get at the gas station, you know the ones where you have to push the button on the machine until the cup is 2/3 full. There is definitely a chicory taste. I am getting almonds. But to me there is also an alcoholic taste I can’t seem to get by. The liquor is very thick, creamy, there is a roasted flavour, but its just not working for me.

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.
