Adventageddon Day 4 – Tea 2/4
I was excited to see this included in the Fortnum advent since so many of their teas are more traditional/conservatively blended black or green teas. Even though lemon ginger teas are a dime a dozen, it does stand out just a little bit as being a more interesting profile to come from F&M in particular.
I made this in a tea for one pot with a bagel and today’s jam (a very ‘mid’ tasting Cherry & Pink Peppercorn jam) to have for breakfast, but unfortunately I just couldn’t get into this one. Though the zesty heat from the ginger itself was nice, the lemon was just reading quite intensely as Pinesol-esque cleaner to my palate. It’s a bit brutal to say, but I even ended up gagging a little bit drinking through it.
Very disappointing…

Fortnum Sachet Advent Day 4
When I saw that today’s tea was herbal, I saved it to enjoy tonight while I unwind from a big family gathering. We went with the tin advent for morning which was Black Tea with Peach and is one of their better blends.
I don’t usually love strong ginger and while it comes second in the name, it comes first in the ingredient list. The scent of the tea is so familiar but I haven’t pegged exactly which tea it is reminding of. I needed it and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. There is so much lemon in different forms, and it really does taste nice with the ginger.
It makes me think of a tea I would have when sick, but one I would look forward to having when sick. The lemon is so bright and overall it was a comforting mug of tea to finish off the evening. I didn’t sweeten, but I bet honey would be awesome in it.
I found the ginger in this one pretty fiery, in a good way. It tasted fresh.
