Mariage Frères Advent Calendar – Day 8
It’s not every day you see a green oolong paired with chocolate, almond, fig, and plum flavours. I don’t know quite what to think of it but it’s definitely unique! The combined flavours are somehow both woodsy (like incense and spice) and silky (almond butter, chocolate ganache, and spicy fruit compote). That multifaceted richness is probably fitting given the tea’s namesake.
Subtle fig and plum pops for me in the finish. How often do you see a fig flavored tea? Neat. All the flavours are kind of… a lot. The collective muddiness makes my mind scream “anise” for some reason — even though I don’t believe that ingredient is present. Also, blue pea flower colour is maybe not the right aesthetic choice for this profile lol.
Fascinating though. Going to resteep it a few times to see where it goes.
Steep Count: 3 – actually, this latest steep the next day is pretty tasty and better balanced (the blue colour is a distant memory). I do like this now.
Flavors: Almond, Anise, Butter, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Fig, Floral, Fruity, Incense, Nutty, Orange Blossom, Plum, Sandalwood, Smooth, Spicy, Vegetal, Woody
