drank Watermelon Mint by DAVIDsTEA
237 tasting notes

So this is me, speaking to my little sachet of watermelon mint, preparing this one iced after having it hot the other day: “Ok watermelon mint, it’s you and me baby. This is happening. In there you go – I pour it into the steeper- ok, see you in 15 minutes. I’m expecting you to be good. Bye you.”

Now this probably happens a lot more often than I think, but I caught myself this time and it was a bit embarrassing. Not that anyone was there, but I couldn’t help but feel like a big nerd. “Bye you” Really?

I addded a bit of agave in the steeper, without really knowing if it was the right thing to do, because yolo, and I’m a bad witch and I’m just feeling very free spirited tonight. I’m leaving that sample in there for 15 minutes. It’s herbal so I find if I leave it in there forever, it just gets better really.

So now for the taste…YUM! The watermelon tasted much less articificial when it is cold, and the mint is also less intense. It is very refreshing, and I litteraly feel like I am biting into a piece of watermelon (maybe not a ripe juicy one, but a watermelon nonetheless). Definitely buying this.

Bio

I was introduced to the world of tea after trying to find a way to stop binging on sugar at night (I have a bit of insomnia). Then I had the brilliant idea of going to David’s Tea to get some sweet dessert-y teas to replace all the crap I was eating, whilst still satisfying my sweet tooth.

And then I tried an Oolong and I was done for.

So this is me, exploring the world of tea with excitement, spending way too much money on it, drinking impressive amounts of it, and although I do love flavoured teas, I am now beginning to try high quality straight teas, and trying to learn as much as I can. I have rarely been so passionate about something so quickly.

My boyfriend thinks I am crazy with all my teas. I actually hide some from him when I get deliveries, just so he won’t panic haha. When he does say something, I just reply that to me, tasting tea is like tasting wine, and it brings me the same kind of joy as eating chocolate or eating fine food. Only better.

Flavours I Like: Most fruits, Cinnamon, Licorice, Cloves, Pepper, Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cardamom, Floral Teas, Honey, Coffee, Pastry/Bread, Smoky, Woody

Flavours I dislike: strong vegetal tastes (a little is ok), Rooibos, Mate, Lemon, Raspberry (for the most part), Orange, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Overpowering Mint,

Other than that, un-related to tea, I love make-up artistry, parrots and birds (in real life, not objects lol), crime and trial stories, flowers, baking, wine, reading, collecting teapots and mugs and stand-up comedy.

I love Dexter, Orange is the New Black, Hannibal, all reality food and cooking series…

As I’m re-reading this I can’t help but to notice how I love extra dark things and extra happy things with no real middle. Hm. xD “I like staying up to date on murder trials…and drinking tea while bird watching!” I’m NOT weird, I swear. :)
