drank Vanilla Orchid by DAVIDsTEA
103 tasting notes

Most of the time I rotate through the same few favourite teas (ok maybe dozen or so) but decided to try this today. I love vanilla and I love oolong. This was a very nice flavoured oolong. Vanilla goes well with the oolong and makes for a nice smelling and a milky creamy cup of tea. It reminds me of a stronger tasting milk oolong. Unfortunately I accidentally left my second steeping in way way too long and it got a bit bitter :( next time I will have to be more careful! I might just have to keep a small package of this on hand for when I am wanting a flavoured light tea!

I am pretty new to trying different types of loose leaf teas. Growing up we only ever had Chinese restaurant tea or bagged orange pekoe. Later on I tried genmai cha at the Japanese restaurants and added that permanently to my tea cupboard.

So far, I like oolongs and black. Most often I drink straight teas but I do like some flavoured ones as long as they don’t taste fakey or chemically. I would like to try more greens, whites and more Rooibos’ as well as anything that doesn’t have caffeine in it to add to my cupboard.

An attempt at a rating system:
90-100 worthy of being permanently stocked in my cupboard
80-89 great tea would love to have in my tea cupboard but probably in smaller quantities
70-79 very nice tea but I don’t necessarily have to have it
60-69 will drink it but not choose to stock it
50-59 prefer not to drink it unless it is all I have
<50 total miss for my tastes
