Day 12 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent. I’d call this a rare miss from them. Hard to tell what’s even going on here; the flavors are just so incoherent. Hot, peppermint is definitely dominant, but the ginger and cinnamon are still very present. Cold, the cinnamon comes to the fore. Either way, the flavors just aren’t melding well. This is a calendar-specific blend, so it’s not up on the website yet. The best I can figure from looking at the ingredients is that this is meant to be an anti-inflammatory blend of sorts. There are lots of ways to get anti-inflammatory blends/tisanes that don’t taste like chaos incarnate, though. I’m finishing what I have – it’s drinkable, at least – but I can’t recommend it and would not intentionally purchase it myself.
