Tuscanteal drank Coffee Cake by DAVIDsTEA

150 tasting notes

Day 10 of 24 Days of Tea

Ugh… I thought I might like this more by having a large sample of it. I am convinced that DavidsTea supplies the weakest black tea leaves ever. There should be no reason for this tea to be weak tasting.
A) There is lack of other “stuff” in it
B) It’s a black tea… which is a side note to why doesn’t DavidsTea say the blend of black they use. Might help clear it up

I lowered my rating even further and can’t finish my cup. I will definitely be making something else. There should be spice to this tea, SOMETHING! Not the fake cake taste that they put in every single cake tea they make.

So disappointing!

My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.

It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.
