Adventaggedon Day Twelve – 5/5
I have to say, I’m really enjoying all of the Cryptid inspired tea blends.
The dry leaf aroma was pretty different than what I had imagined given the ingredients list and description. More vanilla in a creamy custard sort of way, but with an almost almond-y pastry element too.
Steeped I thought this was really unique! The dominant note was kind of like a really good vanilla pudding with elements of sweet almond/marzipan, a hint of red fruit, and a very light tangy citrus-y sourness that presented sometimes in the top notes and sometimes in the finish – I think that was the sumac. On paper it feels like those should kind of be competitive and hard to weave together flavours, but I found it both soothing and playful. It’s one of the more dynamic and nuanced of the Thesaurus blends so far and I think I actually would buy this one!

Did the Mothman tea end up as the tea in the moth mug in the photos?!?
It did :)
