whosbradpitt drank Frosted Cereal by DAVIDsTEA

251 tasting notes

This was… this was bad.

I can kind of see where they were going for frosted cereal, like maybe there are some lucky charms that once floated in this hot water? But it’s mostly just a cloying, artificial vanilla or caramel water. It doesn’t even manage to overwhelm the taste of water, and yet it’s too much. I tried to let it cool a little, but I was just as disgusted when it reached room temp. It just gives off a weird, almost butter/jellybean aftertaste.

My partner recoiled and has now declared he won’t taste my tea again because he doesn’t know when I might be trying to poison him.

DAVIDsTEA caffeine free advent, day 5

Flavors: Artificial, Caramel, Sweet, Vanilla

College instructor, mom of 2, and general homebody in California.

Great at buying tea, good at drinking tea, bad at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

I aim to rate when I finish a package or a complete sipdown, except in advent season.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
