2024 Advent Calendar #19

Another missed Advent Date. Pretty sure this time of December was a bit wild for me.
This is a big old nope for me from the start. My initial reaction to this sachet was to connect it with a childhood medication with “grape” flavoring. But I know that sometimes the “sniff” test doesn’t equal the taste test. Indeed, it does not taste like Dimetapp but this is not an Earl Grey I’ll be recommending. I do get the vanilla and I guess the flavor of a vanilla birthday cake, however, it’s the kind of cake I wouldn’t finish but would eat out of politeness for the birthday honoree.

Flavors: Acidic, Bitter, Vanilla

Preparation
3 min, 30 sec

The name birthday cake does not bring Earl Grey to mind for me.

agreed! I was surprised to see it advertised as such.

Bio

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
