drank Blackberry Blizzard by DAVIDsTEA
1792 tasting notes

A customer at DAVIDsTEA was raving and obsessing over this blend, demanding to know when it was going to go on sale, and/or if it’ll be permanent because it’s her favourite blend. So thought I should give it a go in spite of the heavy artificial scent of the dry leaf in the sniffer lid.

My nose is almost always right. Blackberry is the strongest flavour in here, followed by sugary sweet pineapple, and some other fake berry flavour. It also tastes like someone dumped a healthy helping of an artificial sweetener in here like Splenda. I’ve said this about another blend in the recent past, but its combination of artificial berry with tons of sweetener reminds me of those sucralose-loaded flavoured waters.

You know, it’s funny how this semi-annual sale sucked me in after not paying much attention to their offerings since last fall or winter, I can’t even remember. So now I’m playing a bit of catch-up and so far, it doesn’t seem like I have missed too much, save for a couple good blends. Maybe this is how I’ll do it from now on. I’ll only come in if/when there’s a good sale, especially considering their price increases. Can’t believe how expensive many of their blends have become!

You have to remember a lot of people believe you need to add a TON of sugar to everything. That’s when their not adding salt mind you. I add milk if I have over steeped a tea and it’s bitter or if I’m making a latte but otherwise I leave my tea in peace.

Yeah, I know it’s all subjective, but wow, it’s crazy how sugar-crazy people are. And then for people to want to add even more to it?

And you’re right about salt too. I tried a burger place for the first time yesterday since people I know were raving about it and I thought I’d treat myself to some fast food, and while the fries were good, damn, they were so heavy on the salt. Like dial it back a bit, yo. I feel so bloated and disgusting today, now.
