I only have one more tea from the Spring Collection at Davids Tea to try! Cool Cucumber.
This one is a black tea. I really do enjoy them but they have the highest amount of caffeine out of all the tea made from the camellia sinensis plant. If I plan on having caffeinated teas, I make sure to have them earlier in the day so it'll have less of an effect on me. One nice thing about black teas is that they make the best lattes. Unfortunately I feel like this particular one made not due to the cucumber/melon flavor.
This black's ingredients are:
The steep time is 4-7 minutes. Like green teas, I make sure to steep black teas according to their recommended times otherwise it can get extremely bitter. Sometimes when I'm first trying it out I'll even go below the recommended time to make sure it's not bitter. This also helps with lighten the flavors so one doesn't overpower the others.
This tea smells amazing while I'm sipping on it. It has a light honeydew taste to it with a slight hint of mint which offers a cooling sensation. It's refreshing and light which is nice as sometimes black teas can be heavier. I enjoyed it hot but I wouldn't count it as one of my favorite teas. I think this one would probably be better iced.
