Day 12 of the DavidsTea herbal advent calendar. Not a huge fan of this one, honestly. Just not sure what’s going on here. The first time I made this, it brewed up light pink and tasted a bit watery – sweet and ambiguously berry, with a touch of tartness. It seems that there was an uneven distribution of ingredients in the leaf; the second time, I doubled my usual amount of leaf and it made a big difference. Literally the tea came out a different color, a rich garnet red. The flavor was stronger but still sweet, slightly tart, with a sort of generic berry flavor. I found it very muddled in flavor. On the up side, despite the assorted variety of sprinkles etc. in the leaf, it’s actually just the right level of sweetness, mildly sweet but not overly or cloyingly so. And the stevia didn’t bug me, though that may have been because I was distracted trying to figure out what this is actually supposed to taste like. As I got closer to the bottom of the mug, I noticed that the brew was more of an amusingly purplish color, so that was a bit fun. But I wouldn’t drink this again.
