drank Grilled Pineapple by DAVIDsTEA
1759 tasting notes

I had this iced from the store today. Walking around downtown after a docs app I was so parched and really needed a beverage!
Somehow I knew this would hit the spot. SO my review may be biased. But I was right, it was perfection.
Great pineapple notes, with that slight burnt taste. A little too sweet for day to day, and there was something in there that wasn’t exactly what I wanted(artificial almost, but it didn’t mention that in ingredients) but I didn’t really care because I found it so tasty. Shrugs…
All of that said, I did kinda want more of the popped rice flavour!

I liked this one, but there is an artificial note that develops as the tea cools.

Yeah I know what you mean. That is why it won’t be added to my cupboard. Not that I need more in there heh

I might get is again next summer…maybe 50g for the whole summer, maybe less. I dunno.

Yeah I could see myself getting just a bit, to spice things up once in awhile. There are a lot of DT blends like that for me. I guess that is how they get most of my money. Ha!

I got more of this today, to try again, seeing that I think I liked it last year. I have now identified what that artificial taste is…I have tasted it in other teas from them…pretty sure it is the blackberry leaves. Sadly, the new mango black has it in it and I missed that, and I misses it being in this one til I looked at it again. Blech. I might just go return this straight away, but I feel like I ought to give it another chance. Should have gotten half of what I got though. I think…

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!
