Thésaurus Tea Fandom Advent Calendar 2023 – Day 20
This one is super interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen honeysuckle like this in a tea? Like, it’s actually the full long stamens of honeysuckle flowers, and it looks so cool.
I assume the black tea here is lapsang, because I’m definitely getting a savory smoky note. Otherwise it’s a mellow but fresh mix of resinous flavors – Labrador tea, cedar, and rosemary are all in here, along with lemon balm. I don’t have enough experience with Labrador tea to know which notes are coming from that vs. the cedar, but it definitely has a very unusual evergreen flavor profile. I can pick out the rosemary as well, luckily it’s not overpowering. I do taste those lightly sweet nectar notes from the honeysuckle on the top end.
Really just a super interesting blend, and one that I really enjoyed. Then again, I do tend to love woodsy teas. ;)

Wow, Deedlit, there is a reference I never thought I’d see here! I’m glad Thesaurus Tea appreciates 90s anime as much as I do.
