65
drank Chocolate Orange by DAVIDsTEA
562 tasting notes

So, I am re-reviewing this tea. I gave it a 34 last time. I am HUGELY increasing my rating now. I feel it deserves a 65 now. I am really enjoying this tea this time around. It is a lovely chocolatey tea with a hint of the orange fruitiness. I really like it. I also am noticing some earthiness to it, but no fishiness like I said I got last time. I have enough to try it iced so that will probably happen in the next few days. I think I would love to try this one as a latte too.

It’s amazing now much a person’s tastes can change over time.

I totally hear you. I have officially renounced my hatred of hibiscus; I believe the reason I hated it so much before was because I always drank it hot and oversteeped and overleafed. I’ve been drinking it cold, mixed with weaker herbals and am careful about the steeping time and I don’t mind it.

I’m a 30-something-year-old aspiring writer. I’ve written several short stories that I’m looking to get published someday soon.

I work as a paginator (I do page layout for our local weekly newspaper) and absolutely love it! I’m also an amateur photographer.
I’m the proud mommy of two sweet little boys! One born Feb. 3/15. He showed up 4.5 weeks early, but thankfully after a week in the hospital he’s great now. :)
The second one came just Monday evening at only 2 weeks early so he’s healthy and perfect!
Life just got so much more busy and crazy but I’m so excited.
I’m married to an absolute amazing man who “puts up” with my tea obsession.

It wasn’t until a few years after high school that I finally became interested in tea. I started with Orange Pekoe double double (milk not cream), and peppermint. Since that time, I’ve really opened up to other kinds of tea and I’ve well… I’ve kind of just went nuts since then.

I don’t drink much bagged tea anymore. It’s mostly loose leaf in my cupboard. The only except are a couple that were given to me and they sound too good!

I would have to say my favourite kinds are (in no particular order): black, herbal, white and rooibos (definitely prefer the green to red, but will drink the red too).

Green teas, pu’erh, and matcha are starting to grow on me but I’m very picky about them still. I am finding I like pu’erh tea cakes much better than loose. And with matcha I much prefer flavoured ones over straight.

I still don’t really care for mate teas but there a couple that are the exception to that.

I drink tea every single day. I absolutely love it. I can’t image my life without it.

I don’t log every time I drink a tea as I don’t want to spam everyone with tons of duplicate loggings, but I will log when I have a new tea, which happens on a regular basis and when I do a SIPDOWN! :D
