Bird & Blend Advent Day 24 (24-December 2020)

It’s Christmas Eve here, but happiest of everything to everyone! I can’t believe we’re at the end of the advent! I’ll definitely miss reading everyone’s advent notes, and looking forward to our surprise tea each day.

This one in the dry sachet looks just like orange pop! The sachet said there would be sprinkles, but I didn’t see any to pick out, so that a bonus.

It smells more intensely than it tastes, which is a shame. Drinking it is like drinking a hot orange that’s been watered down ahah. There’s nothing wrong or offensive, but I do wish it was more flavourful. I may chill the rest of my mug to see how it is cold.

Okay, chilled it is sadly less orange and more like an orange candy, but without the orange haha? Like a rocket candy, sort of.

P.S. Lexa and I will be doing the Dammann Frères advent in February haha — so we have that to look forward to!

Same here. It’s sad to see Advent being over. On the other tea, we can now pick almost any tea in our stashes and well, I have lots of tea to sip down. It was fun reading, commenting and just sharing our festive customs.

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 (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

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).
