drank Gold Rush by DAVIDsTEA
513 tasting notes

Doing a bit of backlogging because somehow I haven’t been online all that much this weekend. Mr. Keychange and I went to David’s tea on Friday evening to sort of celebrate the end of a rather stressful work week (for me), and I had this as a latte. Thankfully, the girl who made my latte was one who’s made me lattes before and she actually knows how to make them really well. Mr. Keychange had glitter and gold, and when he took his first sip, he was like “No one makes tea like you. I like it your way.” and that made me feel so proud and happy! haha.

As for this tea, it was delicious as usual. Thick and pudding-like, and I honestly can’t even describe the rest of it because I’ve honestly never tasted any tea quite like it. I also picked up some butterfly jasmine tea, as I’d had some jasmine tea at a Thai restaurant earlier and was craving some jasmine in my life. Got my rewards card, and all in all it was a pretty great trip. The staff there are always so friendly and I love the way the place smells and I just find it to be such an awesome environment.

I would love to be near one!

It really is neat to be near one. although I’m jealous of all the folks in the states who are close to a lupicia.

I live in a place where there aren’t any real tea shops. I saw that there is one near where my daughter goes to school, so it might be time for a visit.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
