Paper & Tea 2022 Advent Day 9: McKeag’s Lapsang

I think we all knew I would skip this one over. To the swap pile!

Nabo 2022 Advent Day 8: Adventsmys

Whoa star anise! I enjoy star anise, but I was a bit worried with the dry scent. Thankfully, the star anise was present but not overpowering in the steeped tea. It actually got better and better as it cooled, with star anise and cinnamon at the forefront.

Paper & Tea 2022 Advent Day 8: Yerba Maté

I’ve never had a straight yerba maté, and actually I think only DF’s Maté Cacao Amande has been my only experience with this tea. This is quite lovely. It reminds me of summer and warm weather. It’s not like warmed grass but warmed some sort of greenery. I find this to be a very calming drink and I would order this one for my cupboard.

Now I’m intrigued to try other mate teas!

Nabo 2022 Advent Day 7: Syrlig Kokos

I have another note on this one since I ordered 50g with our first order from Nabo. We both absolutely love this one! The lemon is mellowed by the coconut and is just delightful!

A.C. Perch 2022 Advent Day 7: Tropical Oolong

Another smooth tea from AC Perch! I found the flavouring to be very light with a generic tropical flavour. The oolong came through nicely with no hints of cardboard – yay!

A.C. Perch 2022 Advent Day 6: Organic Green Tanzania

This one was quite nice. Very smooth and an enjoyable green, considering most greens I’m not a big fan of. I should really take better notes, but I’m just far too busy.

Paper & Tea 2022 Advent Day 7: Tip of the Morning

This was decent. Smooth breakfast tea.

Nabo 2022 Advent Day 6: Bäriga Björn

I’m quite sure this is the same as Som en Dröm (the only tea from Nabo that I could find that seems to have a duplicate) and I love it! I ordered every berry tea Nabo has a while back and skipped this one due to the ingredient list being the same as Som en Dröm. The berry flavour is so delightful, and I’ve already committed to having Som en Dröm in my cupboard forevermore, so this was just a lovely treat today.

Paper & Tea 2022 Advent Day 6: Winter Punch

Very Vicks cough drop (red flavour). Sadly dumped.

Nabo 2022 Advent Day 5: Frostblomma

This one has not been my favourite so far. I don’t really care for mint things, so I’m not overly surprised. Contrary to Cameron I actually made a teapot of this and maybe used 600 mL. Reading her note, I can say I’m quite happy with that choice haha. The mint was still the main flavour with some sort of fruity hint as well. There was an almost menthol-like experience with the mint here where it really filled the mouth like an echo in an empty room.
