Cold Brew!
I’ve been WICKED CRAVING the rhubarb in the blend for weeks now. Like, every time I scoop it for someone and I smell the rhubarb I get mad thirsty and I just like hone into all those yummy, spongy rhubarb pieces. This is something that in the past I’d had lots of in my stash though, and I don’t remember it SUPER fondly so I’ve been hesitant to make it in store or buy some for home. The other day was employee shopping day though, so since all employees got an extra bonus amount off our normal discount I decided it was a good time to get a VERY SMALL bag of this to bring home to revisit. Low risk…
As a cold brew? Actually much better than I expected it to be! I swear, DT must have changed the formula for this from the last time I owned it (which would have been like two years ago) because it’s got a MUCH stronger presence of rhubarb; both visually in terms of the size of the rhubarb pieces present but also in the flavour which was actually really richly rhubarb heavy. Also very strong in terms of the strawberry flavour, and surprisingly sweet/creamy! I mean, still tart both from the rhubarb and surplus of hibiscus but not like what I was braced for. Basically, it tasted like that I wanted it to taste back when I had that large quantity of it on hand that I wasn’t super into.
Yeah, either my tastes have just changed over time (totally possible) OR the formula for this one has just been slightly tweaked since I last owned this one. Anyway; it was a nice brew and definitely satisfied the craving I had been having. Knowing me, I’ll probably be good now for at least a few months…
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.
