Davids Tea 24 Days of Tea: Day 2

So I’m going to state this right from the beginning: I am NOT a huge chai fan!

However I love vanilla. So upon opening day two of the tea advent calendar I was intrigued to try this! I don’t mind the smell of this tea, I can smell the vanilla and chai in what I feel is a nice balance. However upon brewing (via David’s instructions) I am not a fan.

I drink almost all my teas straight. I just got into lattes the past few weeks and haven’t expanded my horizons yet, naturally I enjoy my teas straight, so naturally I drank this tea straight. Honestly all I could taste was chai! Yuck! No vanilla whatsoever. I was sadly disappointed. :( I started to struggle drinking my cup about half way through.

Overall Verdict: This isn’t a total write off, a. because i still have some of my sample left, and b. I bought about 25g a few weeks ago thinking I would like it. So I need to find a new way to try this!

Im not going to ‘rate’ this tea as recommended or not as I haven’t made a final decision. As a straight tea, nothing added, no I do NOT recommend… unless you enjoy chai. However next time I try this Im going to try it as a latte and hope this might make it more enjoyable for my taste buds.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger

Bio

Open to Tea Swaps :)

I’m a 23 year old tea drinking travel enthusiast. Currently I am finishing my bachelor of tourism management degree, due to graduate June 2015. Along with travelling & tea, I LOVE dogs!

Currently I am a mom to 2 ‘fur babies’. I have a blue heeler border collie cross who will be 2 at the end of February 2015, and a 8 month old red heeler (born May, 2014). Technically the red is only half mine as she is really my fathers dog, however I take care of her about 70% of the time :). My dogs are my world! However someday I would love to have human children as well. My boyfriend of 5 years doesn’t understand my need for real babies and/or my obsession with tea!

As for tea, I have slowly become an addict over the past year. My addiction all started with my first purchase at DavidsTea, and well the rest is history… Lets just say I don’t drink much bagged tea anymore. It’s mostly loose leaf in my cupboard and overflowing to the counter.

I am still fairly new to tea, however I have come to discover that my favourite kinds are:
1. Rooibos
2. Herbal
3. Black (however just recently I’ve come to find these teas not as flavourful as I would like)

I mainly shop DavidsTea as I have not been able to branch myself out much further, however I am open to suggestions and also TEA SWAPS!

Rating scale:

1 to 25 —> Undrinkable. YUCK!

26 to 50 —> Really not a fan.

51 to 69 —> Decent. Not something I will need to keep on hand.

70 to 85 —> Yummmmm! Definitely drinkable and potential for permanent shelf stock.

86 to 100 —> AMAZING. Always keeping on stock on my shelf!!
