Steph's Thoughts:
Hello, almonds!
This tea brews a wonderful golden colour, which makes me very happy!
It has a sweet enough flavour that it doesn't need any sugar, which is wonderful for almost-midnight tea drinking. And it's low caffeine.
It is very almond-y, and it tastes considerably better warm. However, the overwhelming almond taste might just be because it was the last tablespoon in the bag. (Also, it was a bag from a friend so I didn't actually have any of the rest of it.)
I do really like the taste of the tea, though. And it looks pretty. I'd totally make Art out of this.
VERDICT: Tea win! I'm having this again!
I truly have enjoyed going through your blog! Thank you so much for review all of these wonderful David's Tea!
ReplyDeleteI do agree that this particular tea is very beautiful when it steeps. A delicate fate yellow. The taste is overwhelming almonds. I got a chance to try it several times because it was part of "The Cold Survival" kit. If almonds are your thing this is the tea for you.
Thanks again for your reviews!
