Jumpy Monkey

Name: Jumpy Monkey


Brand: David's Tea


Primary Type: Maté


Dry Scent: Coffee definitely, but there is also a strong dry grassy scent here, and it's underlaid by the more musty green scent of the maté itself, and lightened and lifted by the almost floral notes from the almonds. There is also a deep richness in the scent from the carob, cocoa nibs and white chocolate.


Steeping Time: 5-6 min


Steeped Flavour: There is definitely the flavour of coffee in this, but no bitterness, and the richness of the coffee is balanced and enhanced by the musky deep green-ness of the maté and the straw-like flavours of some other other herbal ingredients. There is also the faint sweetness of chocolate to keep this from being too bitter overall.


Food/Drink Pairings: This is good for breakfast or any time you might normally drink coffee, and is also very good with a little splash of cream (Irish or otherwise).


Rating out of Six Tails:
4.5/6
