Super Charge

I just tried this tea today and it was a little strange. It definitely tasted like Red Bull and it certainly smelled like it. I can’t decide if I like the taste or not. I typically don’t like the taste of Red Bull but there is something about this that I don’t mind. That being said I am not sure David’s sells it anymore. This was just a packet someone had left over and gave me.

Smells a lot like Redbull, but I wouldn’t say that it tastes like it, however. A nice sale find after Christmas to add to my cupboard.

Tastes a lot like (a healthier version of) Redbull. I like it iced.

This is a very, veeeerrryyyyy old tea that I forgot I owned. However, I do really like to make a mug of mate or guayusa when I really need to focus on a project so I decided to make a cup. The taste was okay, with an intensely potent note of guarana accented by a jammy, bordering on medicinal cassis/black currant flavour. I was shocked how flavourful this still was given the age. It’s so much like redbull, so not really a favourite but I also don’t dislike it terribly either.

But the smell. Oh, the smell. It’s STRONG. Like concentrated red bull essence wafting out of a mug. My whole office smelled like it for hours after I’d finished drinking the cup.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.

Am I missing something really obvious? I couldn’t find this tea so I had to put it in myself, but it’s been out for a couple of weeks.

Oh well. I LOVE this tea. It tastes like Red Bull, but not bubbly. It is my go-to energy tea every morning. Right now, I usually brew it and pour it over ice because it is HOT out.
