Latte sipdown with a whole lot of whipped cream (248)

I was worried that the apple and pineapple and rosehip would curdle milk for a latte so I asked Roswell Strange and then got impatient and made the latte anyways and topped it with a bunch of whipped cream. Then Roswell Strange informed me it was part of an Iced Latte Collection and I can see it.

I am a bit shocked this actually has a lot of vanilla and coffee flavors. People are obsessed with this in the DAVIDsTEA fb group and while it is good, this is not a flavor profile I personally would reach for very often. Yet I am enjoying this latte very much, despite this actually having stevia in it since I think the coffee provides a nice counterbalance to the sweetness that stevia contributes. Plus, the milk could be muting it too. This is a nice tea but I don’t need more of it.

I’m hooked! I got this because I like vanilla, not sure I’d like the coffee taste. The coffee taste is so mild and the vanilla is so smooth! I started drinking it at work and before I knew it I’d had 4 cups!

Cold brew in oat milk overnight. Stevia taste is a bit too forward. Prefer AffagaTea from Bird and Blend.

Grabbed this puppy on sale. The first time I drank it was when I was helping people move, and let me tell you, this isn’t a Refreshing Help People Move Drink.

It tastes more like creamy coffee than a cappuchino, but it’s still pretty good.

This morning I’m not helping anyone with anything. I’m wearing pajamas and trying to work up shower-energy.

Kittenna

No, this is not a Refreshing Help People Move Drink, I agree. Haha.

Picked up this and the other two latte teas recently… pretty sure I got a newb tea guide because a) he forgot the tea type stickers on my bags, and b) he gave me way more tea than I asked for, which I let slide, but really didn’t want/need. I asked for 10g; he asked if 14g was ok, and then said that he probably couldn’t get exactly 10 (as if, every other tea guide can do that like a pro). I went along with it and said I just wanted two cups worth… and for the other two, he gave me massively heaping spoonfuls, to the tune of 20 and 22g. Basically double what I wanted. Clearly trying to hit some sort of sales goal, which again makes me think “new”, because I don’t get that sort of attitude from others. Anyways, what’s done is done.

So this tea. I previously remarked that it seemed to be pretty similar to Bird & Blend’s Affogatea – but it looks like that note, and a handful of others I wrote at the time, never made it to anyone’s dashboards (when your notes have 0-1 likes, it’s very telling). But yes – it was very much like an iced cappuccino, which is what this tea is also touted to be like. I think this tea might be a little more pleasant-smelling, which may simply be from a little more sweetness (there’s a bunch of apple chunks?), but very much creamy coffee. As I guessed – this tea is sweetened, which makes it different from the B&B version, which was completely unsweet (and which I found to be a problem, though certainly a preferable problem to an overly sweetened tea!) It’s also a little lighter on the coffee, but there were probably twice as many beans in my cup of Affogatea, so again, not surprising. I probably like this one better, even though I’ve only had the tiniest of sips as it’s quite hot. I’m going to add milk to it shortly, since it’s supposed to be a latte (I’m obviously not making a latte, but I think a good dose of milk will give me the gist), and will update my note at that time. Until then – reasonably pleased with the flavour here, especially since DT has had a bunch of coffee-flavoured teas that completely dropped the ball for me.

ETA: added 2% cow’s milk in a 1:4 milk:tea ratio. It’s yummy but I expected it to be. Going to put the rest in the fridge to ice, just for curiousity. This is likely my favourite of the new teas; the others didn’t really stand a chance.

ETA again: Drank the last chilled, but I think I preferred it warm. It just tasted better, and the flavours were more unified. Cold, it was more like milk + flavouring.

Hmmmthis Ishtar be worth me trying, I so rarely go into DT anymore.

IMO it was surprisingly good. Probably not keep-in-my-cupboard level good, but worth the try! I’d avoid the other two from this collection.

As you may have noticed, I’ve been really revisiting some of my more decadent black teas from DT this past week – I didn’t even realize I’d subconsciously done this until typing up tasking notes today!

I haven’t had this one in forever, but it steeped up exactly how I remember it tasting. Strong yet sweet iced coffee flavour very reminiscent of the frap-type coffee drinks I used to occasionally get from Starbucks in highschool. Really, really creamy. Better as it cooled; honestly it just feels so insanely well suited to be made iced or chilled in some way.

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 and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
