Arby drank Peach Mai Tai by DAVIDsTEA

2968 tasting notes

I got this as a sample with my online order. Since Rose all day is online-only (Boooo! Hisss!) I had to make an online order. I needed a new gravity steeper since “the incident” when I accidentally put my Teavana one on a hot stove element and it melted. Anyway, I made this iced.

This tastes almost identical to Just Peachy, however this blend is a bit cloudy and has caffeine. I can’t say the black tea adds very much, they should have gone with a white or green. Since this tastes the same as Just Peachy, I don’t know why they added it to their line up. They could have Mulberry Magic or something with lychee and jasmine. But anyway, I can now say I’ve had it, and know I don’t need to buy a larger amount from in-store.

The peach flavour is powerful (which is good), but the ginger does not come out at all. Also, the sickly sweet blackberry leaf is cloying.

Flavors: Peach, Sweet

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
