drank Midsummer Night's Dream by DAVIDsTEA
6444 tasting notes

Finishing up the last of the cold brew as I watch Revenge. Not much more to say other than so long Midsummer Night’s Dream. Also if anyone watched the most recent episode of the show, WTF JUST HAPPENED because I never saw THAT coming!!

Just found this note so I’m not sure which episode you were referring to back then. I feel like Revenge was really amazing but it’s gotten annoying. I still watch it, but I’m ready for a happy ending.

Haha I think this may have been SPOILERS FOR THOSE FAR BEHIND when Daniel shot Emily…I think. And yeah, lately the whole issue between Emily/David has just been annoying. So much could have been avoided but they just kept pushing the idea that Emily can’t just outright tell David so that was dumb. I was worried they would keep that up for the whole season.

I was too! Thank God that didn’t happen. MORE SPOILERS I’m just so over Victoria though. Pretty much as soon as they killed Aiden, I was super angry at the show writers. He’s a highly skilled Japanese samurai assassin who was strong enough to beat his own master and he gets taken out by a poisoned cup of tea?! Come on! So unrealistic. And Emily just lets Victoria live and move in with her dad? I don’t think so. Emily should have slaughtered Victoria.

Haha. That is all very true. Honestly, at this point they just have no idea where to go and it seems they are just grasping at straws.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
