Perhaps it’s because DAVIDsTEA’s “Fruity and Floral” collection just launched today and I spent much of the day keeping tabs on people’s first reaction to the teas/teaware – but I’ve been craving this tea literally all afternoon. So much so that the very first thing I did when I got home, before even taking off my winter coat, was go and get a mug of it started…
I know this one does have the tendency to get bitter quite quickly if not brewed REALLY precisely, so I dropped the water temperature a little lower than I typically would and I also added a smidge of creamed honey to the cup as well. The resulting mug of tea was quite delicious, with a more bright and juicy lemonade note and a very fresh feeling jasmine. No bitterness. It got a little better as it cooled, mostly because colder lemon teas evoke more of that “lemonade” feeling for me whereas hot lemon teas make me think more of Wellness/“Sick” teas.
Good cuppa; craving quenched.
Hey, did you try Lavender swirl and Blackberry Jasmine yet? thoughts?
Yes, I’ve had the whole collection! My personal favourite is Grapefruit Rose Starburst, but I also liked Lavender Swirl a lot. I’ll have full tasting notes for the collection up by the weekend at the latest.
thanks!
