This tea stayed loyally by my side last night while I was trying to write. I like drinking it while working as I can do multiple infusions, and getting up to heat more water and re-steep gives me excuses for little breaks!
I still didn’t make it past three infusions because that just got to be a lot of tea and not enough time. But it wasn’t slowing down at all by the third infusion. This tea is seriously awesome. Its smell blows me away with a crazy kind of heavily buttered spinach fragrance which is way better than it sounds. The liquor is mild, buttery, creamy, delicious. One of these days I am going to designate a whole day to seeing how many infusions I can get.
I’ve been steeping this multiple times hoping it will help me get through a long study session on campus. But, it’s actually kind of distracting me because it is so smooth and comforting that I just want to sit back and relax. Anyway, still buttery and delicious despite using cheap bottled water and a questionable kettle. Subtle but captivating.
Wow, this is good. Really good.
I’ve been a bit intimidated to try this as the dry leaf smells so intensely. It’s much more subtle when brewed, but still outstanding. It’s pretty strange that nothing is added to this. I’ve also been scared of liking it too much. All the DavidsTea staff I’ve talked to seems to rave about it, and it’s pretty pricey, and comes in limited quantities. But I’m glad I tried it.
It’s delicious. Buttery but somehow light. I expected it to be very heavy, but it’s just thick enough to feel satisfying while somehow remaining refreshing. I don’t know; there’s a lot going on here. Time for a top-up and a re-steep!
Preparation
I had big plans to go smell this (and Long Life Oolong because I am more into flavoured than unflavoured tea). Good to know it’s liked!
Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending some of this my way!
At first, when I saw the name, I was thinking “why would anyone name their tea swampwater?” eww! And now I see why they call it swampwater, because the color liquid it produces is a very ugly swamp water green.
But… it tastes really good. Sweet and fruity. A nutty flavor in the background. This is really quite tasty!
Ok so reiterating what everyone esle said the smell is to die for! one of my coworkers thought i lit a candle it smells so good, the taste though is a bit disapointing it definately is creamy and a little sweet but i was expecting much more flavor from a davids tea….any way glad i only bought 25 grams this will be something to go to when i need soothing aroma’s around me.
Preparation
Day 1 Of my David’s Tea Advent calendar!
This is an old classic to me, perfect way to start the countdown to Christmas.
Minty, sweet, chocolate and a little spice tickle in the back of my throat yummm
Adding this to my shopping list, I’ve fallen in love with this tea all over again.
Preparation
Great tea if you like mint chocolate, although very very minty. I liked this tea but don’t see myself reaching for it unless its that time of the month and all i want is chocolate!
This is absolutely my study/tea mission for the weekend! I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to spend the day re-steeping – I’ve never made it past three infusions either before it was bedtime…Amazing tea!
I’m always over-ambitious in my estimation of how many cups of tea I can drink in an evening. I feel unstoppable but eventually my bladder protests! I’ve got lots more studying this weekend, too, so I’ll try for an earlier start.
Hahah same here! Starting early is the key, I guess. Good luck on steeping and studying!
I love this tea! i think I got to five infusions before it started to slow down.
I have a quiet day ahead of me, so maybe I’ll pull this out again and try for five infusions!
I was only able to get to five good infusions. For the last infusion I left the steeper in for too long, so I suspect that I could probably do one more good steep.
