Courtney drank Frost Flower (Frostblomma) by Nabo

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.

Wow, a teapot?! Maybe your sample had more than mine lol. Either way it tasted like menthol. :P

I think generally I use less leaf than most anyway. :)

Bio

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).
