Main Squeeze

Name:  Main Squeeze


Brand:  David's Tea


Primary Type:  Maté


Dry Scent:  This smells like fresh-squeezed orange juice, sweet, citrussy and very juicy, but there's also an underlying, slightly bitter scent from the maté.  Overall this is earthy, green and a little musty with delightful topnotes of citrussy sweet fruit.


Steeping Time: 4-5 min


Steeped Flavour:  Very much like it smells, citrussy with the slightly musty, earthy flavour of the maté.  The juicy flavours do show the pineapple and papaya that are in this, but mostly it tastes like fresh oranges.  Do be careful though, that this doesn't get oversteeped.  It can easily get bitter from the maté.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is a great breakfast tea, especially since it's a maté, meaning that it helps wake you and keep you up.  It is great with cereal, toast, anything you'd normally have for breakfast.  It's also very yummy iced, and goes well on a picnic.  And of course, there's always vodka screwdrivers!


Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6
