You are lovely and so are wild strawberries. Black tea flavoured with wild strawberry flavour. Enhanced with real strawberry pieces.
Ingredients: Black tea, strawberry pieces, wild strawberry flavour.
Company description not available.
Another Nordqvist tea; another tea bag… and another flavored black tea. Again, steeping for short as recommended by vendor; and sadly the impressions about the flavours are pretty same. They are present and well done, but a bit too weak for me and disappearing quickly.
This one is supposed to be with wild strawberry flavour and the flavor is definitely well executed; but as I wrote above — it’s too thin. I am actually curious if loose leaf version is better in this matter, but on the other hand I don’t want to buy a bag of, quite lots of tea, that can be pretty much flavourless.
Nordqvist Moomin Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 3
So I discovered I accidentally did Day 21 instead of Day 2 yesterday, oops. Luckily I don’t think anyone else is doing this advent, so it doesn’t really matter ha ha. I blame the text color contrast not being very good on certain areas of the design! :P
Trying this one with 6 ounces of water today (instead of 8) to see if that helps improve the flavor. Seems weird to put a strawberry black tea so soon after the strawberry rhubarb one? Not that it matters, I would just think they would want to separate such similar teas more.
Anyway! This one is tasting a bit cardboardy to me. These sachets are loose (unwrapped) inside adorable little cardboard boxes, so I wonder if that could be why. To be fair, that could also affect the flavor quite a bit, depending on how old my calendar is. Regardless, I’m still not getting a lot of flavoring here. Mostly I taste the cardboardy, slightly metallic, but smooth black tea, and then there’s a hint of strawberry candy in the background.
Maybe I’ll try steeping these a bit less, and see if that helps improve the balance. This one is decent enough to sip on, but certainly not a good tea.
Flavors: Acidic, Artificial, Candy, Cardboard, Metallic, Smooth, Strawberry
Maybe the strawberry teas are really close together… or maybe you accidentally did day 18 instead of 1 XD
Jokes aside, is it maybe one of those calendars where the teas are added at random so everybody’s are different?
Lol, maybe! It’s a standard cardboard box-style advent so I doubt it’s random? But who knows lol, I don’t know anyone else who has it.
I got the Moomin Advent for a friend of mine and she reported that day two was green tea, lemon with rose petals and strawberry flavor if that helps. She said it’s very cute and I think I might have to get one for myself next year. Advent Envy is real.
I was planning to just open 2 on Day 21, so I don’t know which tea is in 2 yet.
