nouveau-tea drank Bear Trap by DAVIDsTEA

82 tasting notes

Bear Trap is DAVIDsTEA’s most “berry” blend, containing everything from strawberries to black currants. It brews a very satisfying deep red colour and tastes like tart juice. The juiciness of this blend is what makes it a go-to iced tea for me; I find it refreshing without the astringency I find some hibiscus blends can acquire. The major notes in this tea are raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, black currants, and rosehips. The hibiscus definitely took a backseat to the other fruits, which is fine by me!

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember — my mom used to have “tea time” with me every afternoon, drinking some Twinings Earl Grey with milk and sugar in my grandmother’s antique tea cups. Before I went to university, I worked at a DAVIDsTEA in my hometown, which solidified the obsession.

I’m in my first year of law school, after completing an undergraduate degree in political science and anthropology. I use she/her pronouns, and I’m vegetarian (not quite vegan — I still drink blends that contain milk-based ingredients). My other hobbies include fragrance, crocheting, journalling, skiing, hiking, and reading sci-fi and fantasy novels.

LIKES
Apple, peppermint, caramel, vanilla, coconut, jasmine tea, malty black teas, sweet blackberry leaves, guayusa, white tea, peach, strawberry, raspberry leaves, Chinese teas, anything smooth and creamy!!! Highly caffeinated blends have my heart.

DISLIKES
Ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, hibiscus, alcoholic notes, stevia. I prefer teas that don’t contain dairy or artificial flavouring.
