Well, just got back home and finished making supper! I met up with Robyn at a Coffee Bar to exchange Christmas presents before she heads down to Regina for Christmas Holidays, but before that I went to the mall to cash my paycheck (hooray money!), and of course stopped in at Tea Desire, and had some tea and a good conversation with the sales associate about straight blacks.
This was the free tea to sample for the day; now that it’s December all of the Christmas teas are back and of course, similar to what DT does, they’re featuring this one. Personally, I thought it was pretty good but it seemed like something maybe better suited to be had cold? I didn’t taste the hibiscus in it surprisingly, but the apple and cinnamon were present (more apple than cinnamon) and I could sort of taste the grape. Interesting blend.
Sadly, I can’t remember if there’s actually tea in it. I don’t recall any strong base flavours, and since this isn’t part of the regular collection this isn’t up in full detail on the Tea Desire site – only as a little “blurb” along with the other Christmas Teas. And since I’m the one who added this to the database just now…
Oh well; I’m 80% sure it was herbal. I guess I’ll double check next time I’m in store if the Christmas teas are still around…
