Day 21 of the Lupicia advent calendar. Five sachets of this one! Plus it’s an herbal, which means I’ll likely get through it pretty quickly. More than anything this makes me think of churchkhela. This makes no sense because there’s no grape or nuts in here! Maybe it’s the texture or the exact degree of sweetness? If I really focus my palate and actively tell it to ignore the association, I can tell that peach and mandarin orange are the two dominant notes in my cup. In this case, though, I don’t really want to do that! First of all because it’s pretty hard, and second because I’m enjoying it exactly as it is so why torture myself in order to get less pleasure from the cup in the interest of having a more accurate tasting experience while sitting around watching Star Trek?
