So This is a sample that came with an old DavidsTea order.
I prepared this as a hot tea with no additives
The dry leaf is pretty looking and smells like those Vitamin C packets that people often take when they are getting sick.
Brewed up it smells a bit more like a real orange but still somewhat artificial. It doesn’t taste bad at all. Although the orange flavor does resemble creamsicle flavored vitamin or medicine. It remind’s me of Good Earth’s Matcha Maker tea but tastes like a much more mellow version of it. It is cloyingly sweet. I don’t find many things to be too sweet as I have a big sweet tooth myself. This definitely leans on the too sweet even for me side. It also reminds me a lot of nettle tea which is my favorite medicinal tea.
I definitely need to keep exploring mate teas since so far the few I’ve had before have all been from DavidsTea.
Flavors: Herbaceous, Orange, Sweet
