DavidsTEA Matcha Advent Calendar 2020 – Day 14

Day 14, almost caught up on my backlog of teas! This I had yesterday morning, and in the package it smelled pretty good, lemony…but…it did remind me of NeoCitrane. Not sure about everyone on here, but NeoCitrane is a cold medicine here in Canada that is basically a powered lemon drink with some Tylenol ground up in it, and I have it if I’m super sick and need to sleep. It literally knocks me out. So the fact that this tea smelled like it…not my favorite for an early Monday morning of a busy week lol.

As for the flavor…yep…tastes like NeoCitrane to me lol. A weird tea. If I didn’t associated it with that medicine it would probably be fine…but as is, it is not for me. Might also be better iced so get rid of the comparison. Eh, I’ll finish it off and be okay with it being gone lol.

Prepared in the usual way, 175 degree water, whisk, top up with hot water, drink.

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
