nouveau-tea drank Love Tea #7 by DAVIDsTEA

82 tasting notes

Honestly, I’m not sure what it is about this tea that makes it such a go-to for me. It has a light fake chocolate flavour combined with the sweet fruitiness of the strawberries. I find the strawberries are definitely the predominant flavour, with the chocolate taking on more of a supporting role. The black tea base is quite lovely, with no astringency even when oversteeped (I forget about my teas a lot). This is something I’ll enjoy time and time again, making it a go-to tea for morning sipping.

Flavors: Chocolate, Creamy, Strawberry

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 5 min, 0 sec

Since this is a Go-To, just a heads up that it’s being retired!

Thanks! Luckily I stocked up a few weeks ago when I first found out.

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember — my mom used to have “tea time” with me every afternoon, drinking some Twinings Earl Grey with milk and sugar in my grandmother’s antique tea cups. Before I went to university, I worked at a DAVIDsTEA in my hometown, which solidified the obsession.

I’m in my first year of law school, after completing an undergraduate degree in political science and anthropology. I use she/her pronouns, and I’m vegetarian (not quite vegan — I still drink blends that contain milk-based ingredients). My other hobbies include fragrance, crocheting, journalling, skiing, hiking, and reading sci-fi and fantasy novels.

LIKES
Apple, peppermint, caramel, vanilla, coconut, jasmine tea, malty black teas, sweet blackberry leaves, guayusa, white tea, peach, strawberry, raspberry leaves, Chinese teas, anything smooth and creamy!!! Highly caffeinated blends have my heart.

DISLIKES
Ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, hibiscus, alcoholic notes, stevia. I prefer teas that don’t contain dairy or artificial flavouring.
