drank Mint Chip Sundae by DAVIDsTEA
85 tasting notes

A while back, I made the grave mistake of making this tea iced a mistake I will never repeat again. Iced it was odd and had a very weird sludgy film that crusted the top of the pitcher.

This morning, I made this hot and I do not regret it at all. I only wish that I had a piece of chocolate cake to enjoy it with other than my regular bowl of cereal. Opening that tin and smelling the dried leaf is blissful as the aroma of mint chocolate wafts in your face. The tea brews a cloudy muddy tan colour and smells like typical green tea with mint under tones. I love the taste though, it is a smooth green tea flavour with a minty tingly aftertaste.

I may not drink this often, nor will it be my go to tea, but I will keep it around for the rare occasion that I want something sweet and warm.

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
