Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Herbal
Dry Scent: This has a somewhat dusty, almost weedy green scent with bright hints of citrus from the grapefruit peel. It smells a little medicinal, but given that it's a medicinal tea that makes perfect sense.
Steeping Time: 6-7 min
Steeped Flavour: This is very thick, almost viscous on the tongue due to the mallow root. Sweet in a very green way, with mustiness and hints of warm citrus. There is a lingering thickness on the tongue with just a faint gingery, lemony aftertaste.
Food/Drink Pairings: This isn't really meant to be consumed with food, it's more of a pre-meal or post-meal palate cleanser. Actually, this is a medicinal tea. The Celts brewed nettle into teas in the spring to cleanse the blood of winter toxins, and this tea is just a bumped-up version of this.
Rating out of Six Tails:
6/6
Buy/Don't Buy
This one is only available online, but a little goes a loooooong way. Especially since I've found that more than one mug at a time is just too much. The dry tea is so light that 50g fills one of the DT tins almost beyond capacity.
