drank Berry Good (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA
1759 tasting notes

This is much better today!! How did that happen…
Verrrrry berry, a tad tart… total yum! not very “pu’er” like though so it doesn’t fill that particular craving. I let it cool down to room temp this time. Maybe that’s the trick :)
Rating bump!

It’s one of my favourites even though it’s not really a bold pu’erh. I think I like it because it’s a slightly beefed up/fuller bodied version of my beloved Bear Trap <3

Hmmmm good point, they are a bit similar arent they!!
I think this will be something I drink iced from now on. I can’t believe I’ve been converted to iced tea! :P

I think I’d die in the summer if I didn’t have iced tea!!!
and yes, definitely similar, though Berry Good is sweeter and a bit heavier, and Bear Trap is definitely tangier. But yeah, pretty sure I love BG as much as I do because of my love of BT :P

Do you really need to ask? ;)

I had some today, and it was not as good as usual. Maybe a different mix of ingredients, or maybe not as much leaf as usual, since I used a different measuring spoon.

LOL @ShayneBear!!
Heather: Yeah I don’t shop at DT much, but when I did, I noticed there was often a big difference between batches

To be fair, I’m at the end of my bag, and I was rushed i the morning, so steeping was less than usual. And ingredients may not have been in proportion. It is still one of my faves though. A spring to fall standard.

Oooh, yah the end of a bag is always the wild card! I had tons of ginger at the end of mine, but then again it was kinda old so I guess that balanced things out! :)

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
