Kicking-up the caffeine game, this morning, with this delicious cup!

And I found a bit more in a smaller container, which I must have used for traveling. Enjoying another cup!

From a friend with whom I visited Samovar Tea Lounge. Not bad. Smooth AND spicy, which was blended well.

Having a second cup (drank the first before I thought about logging) to just calm and chill down at work. Tea, soothing away the stress.

drank Cold Zing (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA
1812 tasting notes

Cold Zing tastes pleasant. The flavors are incredibly smooth with the citrus notes being very forward. However, the body seems a true mixture of all the flavors. Lemongrass is prominent, while peppermint sits in the background. Notes of what I assume are echinacea and/or eleuthero root are noticeable in the body, too, though I cannot quite tell, which is which. There is a very slight medicinal, herb flavor to the tea.

I really got away from drinking matcha for a while, but this weekend saw the return of the matcha to my daily drinking, and I am happy to have it now for some mental clarity, as I work through some issues with clients.

Finishing the last of this package, too!
Steeped for a long time. Talk about a really dark, green tea!

Drinking the last of this tin of tea! Which also happens to be the last of the flat of six tins I bought, two summers ago. Whew, that was a lot of tea!

You must really like this one.

I used to love this tea. Not as much, now, and I will not be ordering more than a tin, if I restock.

Bio

“I love trading tea and trying new teas. My favourites are oolong (mainly Chinese) and pu’erh.
Will gladly talk all day about tea.”

The above was my bio when I joined five years ago, and I felt it needed to be updated. I still love pu’erh, though I have begun to take preference toward cooked, shou. Oolongs are certainly still a go-to tea for me, but I have expanded my horizons to begin including greens and blacks based upon the weather and how I am feeling.

Still more than glad to talk about tea – anytime, anywhere, anyplace.
Additionally, if fountain pens, books, music, or computers are on the discussion list…

My ratings, this “personal enjoyment scale” about which I talk, are just that – based on how much I enjoyed the tea. I might have enjoyed it immensely, yet do not keep it stocked for various reasons. On the flip side, I have a few teas that are “good” but not “great,” which I keep stocked for various reasons.
