Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Black
Dry Scent: Cinnamon and chocolate. There is a sort of underpinning scent of black tea as well, and hints of coconut and chilies. This is a very complex scent. And by "complex" I mean really almost busy, but it smells good. Like comfort on a cold, stormy day.
Steeping Time: 6-7 min
Steeped Flavour: The first flavours across the tongue is the musky black tea and the cinnamon. The coconut is next, mostly imparting its smoothness over the middle of the tongue and making the tea mellow, and last comes the chocolate and the cinnamon again with a lingering aftertaste. This is definitely a stormy day tea!
Food/Drink Pairings: This is another of those teas that I actually like adding a little Bailies or in particular maple cream liqueur to. It also makes a really good tea for dipping cookies into, and it pairs well with most desserts, especially cakes or sweet chocolaty desserts like mousse. Not a tea that really would do very well being iced, because of the "floaters" from the cinnamon, but it's perfect just the way it is.
Rating out of Six Tails:
5/6
Buy/Don't Buy
I do put a buy recommendation on this but keep in mind if you don't like cinnamon you might not like this. It is VERY cinnamony!
