drank Pumpkin Chai by DAVIDsTEA
307 tasting notes

I’ve been in a bit of a pumpkin Chai swing since Halloween, which isn’t too bad yet since I had been stuck between queen catherine and jasmine green tea for a few months before that.

I’m still working on old stock that I have from last year, I’m not even sure if dt released it this year because I haven’t been keeping up with tea news.

The black tea is a bit smoother and mellow now, but that might be my adjusted brewing times. I brew a dt perfect spoon in a gravity steeper for 3 min at 195*f and after decanting that in my thermos, rebrew those leaves and fill the thermos the rest of the way.

The spices aren’t too prevalent, I think they’re just losing flavor over time, but I might prefer it because I like the milder, more melded flavors.

Preparation
2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I get easily excited and tend to get into the habit of collecting things I get really really excited about- books, fountain pens, fragrance, tea and any number of things. Mostly I’m just really excitable.

My favorites are oolongs! Also high for me are greens and ripe pu’erh. But I do like most teas and I’ll try most anything at least once. I just don’t like rooibos, smokey, or banana flavored things.

My name is Christina, but there’s also another Christina with a cat as a profile picture, so I go by Flyawaybirdie.

Feel free to drop me a message anytime. I love messages/letters/etc.

NOTE!: My cupboard is not up to date. Not even close. But it does have a bunch of teas I have pretty substantial quantities of, so I put them in there anyways because I’m unlikely to run out soon. Also, if I wrote a note on it and didn’t include a TTB name or a sipdown note, I’m likely to still have some even if it’s not in my cupboard, so feel free to ask if you want to swap!

Steepsterite since 2014. :D
