Detox

Name:  Detox


Brand:  David's Tea


Primary Type:  Green


Dry Scent:  Smells clear and faintly fruity.  Notes of grass, citrus, juniper berry and ginger.  I would best describe the scent of this as the scent of a meadow in the middle of a conifer forest.  Calm and very relaxing.


Steeping Time:  4-5 min


Steeped Flavour:  Fresh and fruity, with a distinctive "tea with lemon" flavour underlaid by berries and something that tastes a little like a warm summer meadow.  The juniper berries add a slightly piney note as well, and the ginger and ginko play well together to make a clean, lingering aftertaste a little like a chinese medicine shop.  The mouthfeel of the tea itself is very smooth, almost slick over the tongue, but not greasy.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This could be nice with a light lunch or dinner, or even first thing in the morning after a night of overindulgence, but it does best after eating as a perfect palate cleanser.  Good, good stuff.


Rating out of Six Tails:
5/6
