This is a sipdown, but apparently it’s a tea that I didn’t have entered into my cupboard so it doesn’t really count as a sipdown numerically speaking…
I’m drink it right now as a hot tea with some milk in it. We’re all out of this one at my store, so this could very well be my last cup of it. I kind of regret not drinking it more often when it was readily available to me on shift because honestly there are some really nice aspects to it. For starters, it’s very creamy/buttery both from the yogurt pieces in it but also from the green tea itself and that’s an element of green tea I actually DO like. Plus, the strawberry is nice for what it is. I mean, it’s very light/mild and pretty artificial tasting but it’s not bad. Combined with the creamy elements, it is pretty Strawberry Milkshake like.
I can see why people liked it; it was accurate to the name without being too sweet/sugary and it’s pretty calming/soothing. Plus, you get a fruity tea that’s not a FRUITY tea. I also see why people didn’t like it; it’s not really as rich as a milkshake generally is so if you wanted richness this would be disappointing. The flavours are also softer, so if you don’t have a palate that can really pick up on delicate qualities or you just don’t appreciate them then this would be disappointing.
I don’t know, I guess what I’m saying is that I probably fall somewhere in the middle on this one? I don’t really know…
This cup is doing it for me for the moment though; to me, this has been a lazy Friday morning and I’m not 100% awake yet, so it’s one of those softer “ease into your day” kind of drinks right now.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
