Nabo Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 13
Not sure why this is called “Peach” when it has berry, coconut, and orange flavoring and only peach pieces? Strange.
This tastes a bit similar to their other berry teas, even though it’s not the same berry. It has a syrupy candy sort of vibe to it, like those berry-shaped hard candies with the liquid center that used to be in my grandmother’s crystal candy dish. I think they might’ve been raspberry-flavored? But it has a somewhat medicinal edge to it. It also came out very slightly bitter despite only steeping it for 3 minutes, and there’s a noticeable astringent feeling on my tongue. I wonder if both could be from the chokecherries? I’ve never tasted one so I have no idea what they’re like, but the astringency reminds me of grape skins.
Anyway, this was a slightly odd tea. Still pleasant, but odd.
