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…

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
