A WARM AND SPICY BLEND OF GINGERBREAD BLACK TEA WITH RED ROOIBOS CHAI, AND HINTS OF VANILLA.
Ingredients: Black Tea, Rooibos Tea, Natural Gingerbread and Vanilla Flavor, Cinnamon Bark, Orange Peels, Ginger Root, Cloves, Cardamom
This tea was fine? If anything, it struck me as an odd choice next to The Chai Ning in the advent, because there were a lot of similar flavors happening except that this one was weaker and not toasty. I got a lot more cinnamon and vanilla from this than ginger, which I suppose makes some sense for a gingerbread blend, but I don’t need more.

BrutaliTeas Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 22
Okay, so I admit at first I didn’t get the name. And then I was like, “ohhhh like gingerbread, doi” LOL! I blame it being morning when I opened my advents. And to be fair, it would be a bit clearer if the words were actually combined, like “The Walking GingerDead” or something.
So I didn’t even notice the rooibos when I steeped this, apparently it’s a mix of gingerbread black tea and rooibos chai. I’m honestly not a fan of this mix, as I feel like it leaves the tea tasting thin? Overall it tastes like a generic chai with cinnamon and clove, and a bit heavy on the ginger side of things. I don’t really get cookie from it, and I’m not tasting the vanilla. If anything, yesterday’s tea was almost more gingerbread-y to me? Now that I mention it, it’s a bit weird that they put two such similar teas on consecutive days…
Anyway, it’s fine but not good or special.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Tea, Thin
Hot, I didn’t get a ton of flavor from this, but cooled down, I totally taste some spicy gingerbread. I really enjoy this flavor combination. I think the rooibos/black base works really nicely here. I wish I had a larger amount of this to play around with because this flavor is really fun. It’s best sweetened with milk at room temperature. It’s sort of like liquid ginger snaps.
Adventaggedon Day 21: Tea 6/8
I think Brutaliteas missed the opportunity to go even harder with their name pun by not calling this “The Walking Gingerbread” instead because, when I saw the name this morning, I assumed the cup was going to be more of a hot/spicy or earthy ginger. Very pureplay ginger. It is, definitely, more like gingerbread though! Very pleasant darker molasses notes coat the palate and are complimented by nutty rooibos, malt, toasty brown bread, a bit of a burnt note, raisins, and of course ginger. A little earthy in terms of the ginger – not spicy at all. It’s very pleasant and I think it gets the gingerbread overall profile pretty correct. That molasses flavour can be tricky to convey but I think it’s super important and overall the cup came off really delicious to me.
