Uniquity drank English Toffee by DAVIDsTEA

709 tasting notes

Tried a small hot sample of this in store the other day and actually really enjoyed it. Enough to pick up 50g, which I rarely do with flavoured teas anymore. I was skeptical because (unsurprisingly) Davids’ puerh base isn’t the best, but it really tasted lovely and caramel/toffee like with some real tea beneath it. The real test will be in trying to reproduce it at home, but if I can get a cup like that, I’m happy. I suspect they used more tea than I will, especially at $9.90/50g but I’ll give it a try.

I also got my 50g free of Jasmine Black Pearls which made me very happy – that tea is now $16.98/50 grams. Seriously?! I obviously haven’t shopped at Davids much in the last year or two. Those prices are not reasonable to me.

Flavors: Caramel, Toffee

yep for what you get, there’s almost a case for just biting the bullet and buying from us companies.

Bio

I’ve been drinking loose tea since 2010 and my tastes have changed a lot over those years. For the last few, I’ve been a fan of unflavoured Chinese blacks and shu puerh. I still drink other things, but that’s where I am.

I live in a rural area with my husband, cat, and soon to be firstborn. I love tea, reading, doctor who, knitting, crosswords, board games, the marvel universe, and lots of other things.

I’m not often rating teas numerically any more but I want to leave this to explain my past ratings:
I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.

81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn’t stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don’t make me finish the cup.
