Day 12 of the DavidsTea herbal advent calendar. Not a huge fan of this one, honestly. Just not sure what’s going on here. The first time I made this, it brewed up light pink and tasted a bit watery – sweet and ambiguously berry, with a touch of tartness. It seems that there was an uneven distribution of ingredients in the leaf; the second time, I doubled my usual amount of leaf and it made a big difference. Literally the tea came out a different color, a rich garnet red. The flavor was stronger but still sweet, slightly tart, with a sort of generic berry flavor. I found it very muddled in flavor. On the up side, despite the assorted variety of sprinkles etc. in the leaf, it’s actually just the right level of sweetness, mildly sweet but not overly or cloyingly so. And the stevia didn’t bug me, though that may have been because I was distracted trying to figure out what this is actually supposed to taste like. As I got closer to the bottom of the mug, I noticed that the brew was more of an amusingly purplish color, so that was a bit fun. But I wouldn’t drink this again.

(DavidsTea 2022: 64)

An interesting tea. Sweet, creamy, a little fruity. It tastes pretty artificial but probably is meant to be that way; it works, though. Not a tea I’d have often but it’s a nice treat on occasion.

gmathis

Sounds like one my fifth and sixth grade girls would love!

Kittenna

Haha, probably!

If you’re not a fan of the artificially sweet blends from DAVIDsTEA, this is one to skip.

It looked like so much fun in the tin. I may have oversteeped mine; while I read 5+ minutes as the recommended time, I think mine went more like 15 thanks to a toddler distraction mid-steep. It came out a murky purple.

We’ve already noted I don’t have a discerning palate, but all I get from this is sweet. Like a rock candy, bubblegum, cotton candy type sweet – except I enjoy those things to some extent and did not enjoy this. It was closer to a frosted cereal than the actual blend frosted cereal, actually, and I think my issue was it was such an artificial flavor.

My partner – “This one is bad, right? That’s why you’re holding it out like that – oh yep. Yeah that’s bad.”

Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge Friday, April 9th: National Unicorn Day Tea #2

Had this yesterday and today!  I went with actual Unicorn tea for actual Unicorn Day.  Thanks very much AJRimmer!     Such a plethora of ingredients here.  Various sprinkles!  The blend is sweet, though it’s from the sprinkles, so I love it.  At least any of the stevia sweetness is drowned out by the sprinkle sweetness. It has blue pea flower so the cup turns purple!  Flavor wise, I’m not really sure what it’s trying to do.  It tastes a bit like marshmallow, it tastes a bit fruity, possibly a hint of almond?  Description says citrus and cotton candy.  The fruit I was tasting was definitely not citrus.  This blend was okay.  Not great, not bad.  I’m sure it’s one of those blends that really depends on what you scoop up in the scoop.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons // 10 minutes after boiling // 3 min
Steep #2 // just boiled // 6 min

Flavors: Almond, Fruity, Marshmallow

AJRimmer

I usually love sweet desserty teas, but I could never really get this one to work for me. It’s just a lot of sweetness without much content maybe?

tea-sipper

Agree, AJRimmer!

The loose leaf tea looks so pretty with flowers and candy type things in it. It brewed to a dark purply color. It didn’t taste super sweet like I expected. Honestly didn’t have a strong discernible flavor at all to me. I didn’t enjoy it very much. I have a large container of it though, So I will keep trying it.

I’ve seen lots of brands with unicorn sprinkles in their teas recently, what a random trend. The flavor here is weirdly, artificially sweet. I love fake sugar, but there’s something strange about this one. I really only taste that overwhelming sweetness and maybe a soft fake fruitiness. It’s not gross, but not very appealing either. But maybe this is what unicorns taste like.

Martin Bednář

Yeah, who knows how unicorns taste like, huh? Moreover their dreams!

STTB Tea

I’ve had this hot and cold-both ways are quite nice. The hot steep was more citrusy but the cold steep had more marshmallow and popcorn flavours. There are so many different flavours I found it difficult to place them all. I almost want to say cotton candy, but I think it is more just sweet. It tastes a bit like a lemon angel food cake IMO.I’ll have to order some of this before they discontinue/sell out.

Flavors: Butterscotch, Citrus, Fruity, Marshmallow, Popcorn, Sweet

Roswell Strange

It’s meant to taste like Cotton Candy, personally I get Fruit Loops more than anything.

VariaTEA

Popcorn! I had this the other day with this tea and was like wtf?! Glad someone else got it.

Sil

i bought 200g of this nonsense….i dunno what’s wrong with me ‘cause i usually don’t love really sweet teas like this but there’s something about the flavour..

VariaTEA

@Sil, is that something popcorn?

Initially I wondered who was dreaming of unicorns and in what decade (Answer: an awesome and eccentric 6-year-old, 1980’s). But then my mind went to other places that may or may not be less anthropocentric and more low-brow fantasy. Blame the tea.

What do imaginary creatures dream about, if anything at all? Are those dreams reminiscent of mundane slice of life dramas? Or are they something so fantastical and whimsical that we can’t (and wouldn’t want to) comprehend them?

Judging by the dry blend makeup, I’m assuming David’s Tea went with the latter theory (RIP to the sanity of anyone involved in the creation of this blend). There is so much stuff in here it’s absurd and frankly intimidating (just like a real unicorn! Haha). Pineapple and papaya pieces, a million different kinds of sprinkles, flowers, and stevia.

Steeped up cold it’s a bit more tangible. My taste buds translate the chaotic array of confectionery, dried fruit, flowers, and cotton candy flavouring to cake. Or cotton candy ice cream, because this blend is creamier than plain old cotton candy. Citrus and hibiscus notes and flavours prevent this from turning into a saccharine nightmare.

I think Roswell Strange is on to something when comparing this to a mixture of rainbow cereals from different brands. Major Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms vibes. Also, Unicorn Vomit is a better name, albeit probably not super PR (I would buy that though).

Flavors: Cake, Candy, Cotton Candy, Cream, Fruity, Hibiscus, Lemon, Marshmallow

Fun Fact: We referred to this as “Unicorn Vomit” as a nickname before the tea was officially named.

Crowkettle

For some reason I find that both delightful and endearing. I love that nickname.

derk

Thanks for the laugh :)

Martin Bednář

Nickname made me laugh too. And… looks too sweet for me.
And we have unicorns in our World. They just went fat and we call them rhinos :)

Hahaha. I love this tasting note.

Well i did a “bad” thing and purchased a wack load of tea the other day. I think i have 3 orders coming in and not small quantities either. I still have probably another order or two that i’d like to make soon. Tried to get more of this, but sadly it was sold out so i just have what’s left over. I also did a quick check on my tea stash for te end of June and while i have 60 teas in my cupboard, i only have 29 teas that are more than sample sizes. Yes, i’m still working through all the samples that VariaTEA gave me haha.

VariaTEA

I did the same bad thing but is it worse in my case given the difference in our cupboard sizes.

Sil

Yeah I’m still under 2kg in weight.

VariaTEA

Shush you

tea-sipper

I’m so glad you bought some more tea, Sil! Since you must have much less tea in stock than the average Steepsterer. I haven’t been supporting tea shops as much as I’d wish with my sipdown “project”, so I’m happy whenever anyone else has been buying…

Sil

@ tea-sipper – yes well if i’m not careful i’ll be at crazy amounts again quickly! sad thing is, there are at least another 5 orders i’d like to place for old favourites but won’t.

Roswell Strange

@Sil – I admire your control; I’ve had none of that this summer.

Sil

@roswell – have a kid, buy a house and move cities…. haha
