bareblueskin drank Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait by DAVIDsTEA

14 tasting notes

This tea is one that I like a lot, so was happy to get it as Day 3 of my Tea calendar. The tea brews up very pretty deep velvety ruby (hibiscus and beetroot) and also gives you a mini aromatherapy session. The tartness and slight sweetness balance well. I enjoy drinking this one hot or iced but sometimes it’s a bit acidic for me, so I have to limit this tea.

Tried as part of the Davids Tea 24 Days of Tea Advent calendar – Day 3

Flavors: Cream, Floral, Hibiscus

Preparation

Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

I started getting into tea this year because coffee was causing a lot of acid issues, but now I’m converted over to tea! I started with the basics, thinking I preferred my tea plain(mainly because blends I was offered all contained things I dislike or tasted too weak), but in May 2017 a friend brought me into a David’s Tea store and I was bowled over. I’ve been completely off caffeine for 3 months to heal an inflamed GI tract, but now I’m able to drink small amounts of caffiene. I just found Steepster while looking for ways to organize my stash. I can’t wait to rate more teas and read other users ratings!

Likes: STRONG tea, hibiscus, nutty
Dislikes: anything mint, eucalyptus

My loose rating chart:
100-90 – Why am I not drinking this tea right now?!? Definite favorite, buy in mass quantities
75-89 – Loving this tea but not likely to obsess over. It would be good to have this tea on hand and have a cup every once in a while.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my thing.
Lower than 45 – Um just no. Would not drink it again.
