I am not liking this blend too much this afternoon. Most rooibos teas can be steeped for a long time but when this is steeped for a while it tastes artificial and ashy. I really need to stop buying things from David’s tea, I have no idea how they are so popular. I would say 50% or more of their teas are so bad I just end up throwing them away after I buy them. I am just ditching the remainder of this bag. Snickerdoodle was worse.

I’m feeling the same way about DT. I earned 50g of free tea from my frequent steeper points, but have no idea which tea I like enough to get. I’ve kinda moved on. :/

i only ever buy 10g from them IF the tea smells interesting.. that’s usually enough to satisfy my curiousity…

Same here. I love that they sell as little as 10g in store. I’ve found a few surprise loves and dodged a lot of tea that’s just not for me.

I just use my Frequent Steeper points to get whatever’s most expensive :P I figure if I don’t love it, I can always swap it.

I don’t get it either. I like a few of their teas, but not many. Some of their accessories are pretty cool though.

Profile

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
