33 Tasting Notes
I’ve never re-steeped this one before, so I tried that today. A little weak but not terrible, 1:30 the first time, 2:00 the second. It was okay, I guess I’d do it again? I wouldn’t try more than two steepings though. I think sugar helped (1 tsp turbinado).
Flavors: Flowers, Fruity, Sweet
Preparation
The green and black is an interesting combination. I thought the black would overpower the green but that wasn’t the case. The floral fragrance is light and delicate. Wouldn’t recommend steeping over 180 degrees though.
Flavors: Rose
Preparation
This tea smells deceptively strong, but it’s a nice, light, delicate tea. The hibiscus isn’t overpowering and has a hint of jasmine. It gets bitter really easily and quickly, so I steep it at about 170-180 for 60-90 seconds. The label says to do it for like 4 minutes but if you go in the DAVIDsTEA store, they tell you only a minute. They’re totally right – any more than 1:30 and it’s ruined.
Flavors: Flowers, Hibiscus, Jasmine
Preparation
I’m still new to pu-erh, but I really like this one. Although to be honest it tastes more like strawberries than anything, not really getting that rich earthy flavor. But enjoyable nonetheless.
Flavors: Strawberry
Preparation
Extremely fragrant jasmine pearls, but I think I might have steeped it too hot. I added a teaspoon of turbinado sugar which mellowed it out a bit. Still delicious but I think I’ll do the water a little less hot.
Flavors: Flowers
