Advent Day 22

Ooh I like this a lot. Not like a figgy pudding at all. Just a lot of vanilla with a slightly earthy, peppery finish. I’d actually probably purchase some of this.

Advent Day 21

Nice balance of spices. Slight cookie quality. Would probably be good with a touch milk.

Advent Day 23

Catching up on a lot of advent notes! This is nice, pure candy cane. No weird sock flavor like the white chocolate mint from the S&V advent. This is nice and completely unoffensive.

Advent Day 17

Love that it steeps up red. Slightly smoky. I get a pu-erh earthiness in the aroma.

Advent Day 18

Smells slightly medicinal, which thankfully doesn’t translate to the flavor. Kind of a generic fruity, candy, spiced flavor.

Not getting any cookie or pastry notes, but this is such a cozy spiced blend. Mostly getting cinnamon at the forefront with some clove.

I too thought this blend was passionfruit, orange, guava, but pomegranate, orange, and ginger makes much more sense. This is super fruity- I get a ton of orange. I’m getting a slight bubblegum flavor from one of the fruits.

Love the aroma of this tea. It’s such a lovely, subtle creamy vanilla mint. The flavor is also quite subtle, and I wish I was getting more of that creamy mint flavor. The black base is quite mild.

Advent Day 20

It’s been a busy week, so I have a lot of tasting notes to catch up on!

This is a bit disappointing. Chestnut blends so often have a mapley flavor that just doesn’t read as chestnut to me. This does have a slightly starchy chestnut quality, but it’s drowned out by the maple.

Whoops- forgot I had the 52Teas advent as well (which I always really look forward to), so catching up on these!

Still love this tea, such a lovely coconut blend.
