Skipping my advent tea since it is another repeat and am reaching into the depths of my cupboard instead.
It’s a rainy day which is perfect for staying inside with cups of tea, although that doesn’t seem to stop the hummingbirds from chirping their little hearts out. On days like this I wish this house were better insulated so I could feel cozy inside, but that isn’t the way of 140 year old Victorian homes.
This cup of tea is changing a bit as I sip along. The coconut was prominent on my first few sips, then the roasty flavors took over after that. If I sip too quickly there is a flash of something sour at the start of the sip, a similar tang that dark chocolate sometimes has. Something in this blend is making my throat feel scratchy. I’m trying to ignore it, but it’s getting stronger. It’s a very dark deep tasting blend. Roast flavors with chocolate and the coconut filling in with cream. I’m not finding jasmine at all. It’s warm and comforting if I ignore the throat thing. It’s not as bold as I was hoping for, but it would be perfect if I was in the mood for something more mellow. I’m glad to have tried this, but it isn’t something I’d restock.
