Advent Calendar 2017, Day 9: The smell of this tea is lovely and different. At first taste, though, it tasted like almost nothing. Enjoyable, because of the smell while drinking, but a let down. However, once it cooled a good bit more, the flavors emerged and it started to taste a lot more like it smelled. Still not a strong flavor, though pleasant. And since I generally finish my teas before I allow them to get that cool, I would find waiting that long an annoyance.

I don’t generally like this kind of tea, but Amazon sent it to me as a mistake, so I gave it a shot. Was even worse than I expected – had a bad sour taste, with some bitterness. Even adding milk didn’t really help. I ended pouring most of it out. This tea will live in the work kitchen for others to drink. It is a very fine loose leaf – would not recommend for someone using a normal tea ball, needs a very fine strainer.

Advent Calendar 2017, Day 3: Fruity, but the yogurt bits gave it a weird, off taste and strange mouth feel. So close to being good, but I kept making those mouth movements that dogs do when they have peanut butter in their mouths to get the texture out.

Advent Calendar 2017, Day 2: Really tasted like a chocolate macaroon, but I’m not a huge fan of the coconut flavor. Would probably be better as a latte, or for a big fan of that coconut taste.

Advent Calendar 2017, Day 1: Enjoyed it while I was drinking it, but can’t picture reaching for it. Was nice and cinnamony, soothing, a taste I would want in the evening, but with the caffeine, wouldn’t be able to drink. Taste was surprisingly weak, would use more tea leaves in future tastes.

I found it really weak too. Disappointing.
