80

I’m a bit behind on my advent calendar days.. I should be able to start catching up more on Thursday. I was a little hesitant to try this one as I’m not wild about almond flavor… Or at least I have to be in the mood for it. The scent of this tea reminds me of an almond cookie.. Really spot on! It smells quite sweet in the cup.. almost like almond frosting. Sipping… I like this more than I thought I would. The almond flavor is just as you’d expect.. Just like a cookie but without that crunchy, starchy character. It’s a little weird with the green tea as a base as the green tea adds a mild grass flavor. I would think that it would’ve worked better with a different tea, but I’ll finish this cup as I’m liking the almond flavor for tonight.
