drank Honeycrisp Apple by DAVIDsTEA
1759 tasting notes

Apple flavoured candy is one of me faves. I’d say in the top three, after orange and cherry. Ok so top four, I think I do adore grape a little more. (sorry for the impromptu rhyming)
I know that sounds farish down the list but it really isn’t!
Anyhow this definitely tastes like sour apple candy with just a hint of apple peel thrown in. Heyyyyyy I bet it’d make an amazing cocktail!!! Yummm.
All of that said, there is an element of fakeness, which in this case I don’t mind so much.
Oh and minus points for barely being able to taste the tea! (83 down to 78)

" minus points for barely being able to taste the tea!" Agreed. They should have done this as a herbal in my opinion. If you cannot taste the green tea why make it a green tea :/

Indigobloom

Exactly!! I was so disappointed to see that 40% of the fall blends are herbals. And with this one being so light on the tea part, well it might as well be 60%?! (80% since mate is technically a caffeinated herbal but I’m not concerned about that haha)

keychange

I have a shit-ton of this that I won’t drink. Want it?

Indigobloom

Keychange – Sure, that’d be amazing!!!

Indigobloom

Thank you! totally just made my day :D

Kristal

Totally agree, Indigobloom. I really only drink Greens and Herbals (and I’m pickier with greens) so I totally would have been okay with more herbals. Although, the tea of the month for October (Ginger Beer) I loved so that makes up for my lack of interest in the fall collection :)

Indigobloom

Ah see I drink a lot of types but mostly black. So I was really disappointed to see only one this season, and their pumpkin flavour is really off for me so I was uber sad!

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!
