Nxtdoor drank Pink Lemonade by DAVIDsTEA

284 tasting notes

I would never drink this hot. I have never drank hot lemonade so why on earth would I start now just because the base is tea? I see people think it’s sweet. I actually add sugar to mine. Like southerners add loads of sugar to make their nice sweet ice tea, I do the same both for ice tea and for lemonades. Beverages or foods that make my mouth pucker will seldom find a place in my kitchen.

This tea, I always brew a 1.5 L pitcher combining two steeps. I sweeten it while hot and then I add the ice. To drink, we further pour it over ice. We think it’s refreshing although it does taste kinda fake. And we had a couple of misses with it but I couldn’t tell you what happened.

I prefer the pink Passionfruit and Goji Pop to this one, however I will replenish if it’s gone before the summer is over.

Hot lemonade, bleh! But I’ll take homemade « Kinda fake» tasting lemonade tea as a cold beverage over any type of commercially sold soft drinks, including bottled iced tea :-)

Bio

I started drinking loose leaf tea in the spring of 2013 (why do we feel compelled to mark the date of tea drinking somewhat like addicts counting their sobriety days?)

Never been much into tea before. Growing up in Romania, tea was something mom made for you when you were sick. As an adult, my hot beverage of choice has been coffee, both flavoured and regular. I’ve recently stumbled upon Teavana and DAVIDs TEA and quickly got addicted to the latter. Then came steepster and all else followed.

Formerly a mathematician and insurance adjuster, I gave up the corporate world and am now a professional chef. I drink wine and sometimes cheat on it with tea.

I lean heavily towards flavoured black teas. I’ve started to crave the occasional straight oolong and green but so far unflavoured black teas leave me unimpressed.

I’m learning so I drink them all. Am even introducing myself to pu’erh. So far I can do fine with the sheng cause frankly, they don’t taste like pu’erh to me. The shou is another story.

Note*: The virtual cupboard does NOT contain any of the samples I hold since most of them are one-cup quantity.

Note**: My partner, our home improvements, gadgets, mortgage, travel, wine and food have budget priority over tea.
