Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Maté (well, actually Guayasa)
Dry Scent: Sharp and very green, with a green sort of sweetness from the guayasa. I find Guayasa much brighter in scent and flavour than is maté, and this tea is no exception. Under the brightness of the green, there is a juicy fruit scent of papaya and peaches, enough to make your mouth water. It smells like a fruit stand in the middle of summer.
Steeping Time: 6-7 min
Steeped Flavour: The flavour of this is just as bright and green as the scent. Guayasa has a natural green sweetness that is wonderful on the tongue...truly a beautiful drink. The fruit flavours in this are immensely satisfying, and don't overpower the guayasa at all, blending with it quite well. It's like drinking a warm, summer's day, even in the middle of winter.
Food/Drink Pairings: This goes well with a light lunch, and would pair nicely with any sort of fruity booze or liqueur.
Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6
