Bird & Blend Advent Day 2 (2-December 2020)
This tea smelled tasty dry — orange with some spices. Clementines are very much a holiday thing for me — my siblings and I always received some in our Christmas stockings.
Hot: The orange seems to be washed. There is some spiciness, but the ginger seems to be most present. I’m also getting a hint of clove at the end of the sip. I’m going to pop the remaining half a mug in the fridge to cool it for later. A tells me hers tastes like an orange if you were to “douse it in cloves”.
Cold: This chilled in the fridge for the last ~3 hours. Now there is a bit of orange, but it’s very subtle and a closer to a regular orange, not necessarily a clementine. There is quite a bit of orange scent. The clove is more prevalent and the ginger seems to have disappeared.
Such a dismal :( I would love a clementine flavour with a spicy twist!
Aww… Well I’m glad it wasn’t super hibiscus land at least…
