Kaylee Advent Day 4!
This is the first tea I tried from Adagio, years before I ever joined Steepster. At the time, I loved it, and have ordered it several times since. I haven’t ordered from Adagio in a few years because I grew tired of their teas, sadly including this one! But it will be nice to try this again to see if that has changed.

Unfortunately, I also made myself a cup of eton mess from B&B at the same time, and that one is a similar flavor profile, but with a lot more intrigue. This one is pretty plain tart red fruit, which isn’t bad, but I’d choose eton mess over this one every time.

This has a lot of ingredients, but I really only taste a mild mint plus some notes from the teas. There’s oolong, black, and rooibos in there, though the black tea stands out the most. It’s all quite muted, but pleasant!

I actually love this tea! I taste spices and baked elements. The black tea is a good base for it. It all tastes nice together, and the resteep was tasty too.

I do taste something like mango skin, but also something a little peppery? I don’t know what’s causing that. It’s not bad, but I wish I could taste fresh mango since that’s my favorite fruit!

Kaylee Advent Day 1!

I was so excited to open my gift box from Kaylee this morning! I mostly just taste the hot pepper-style spice with only a little fruit. I feel like my mouth never knows what to think of spicy fruity teas! It’s best cold. It looks like last time, I rated this a 70, and I think that’s still just about right!

S&V Advent Day 1! (though I’ll only be recording teas that are new to me here)

This was so fresh with a nice black base supporting. I can taste the berry flavors, but the juniper, birch, and other elements really keep this one interesting! The resteep was almost as good as the first! I liked it best cold with milk and sugar.

TTB! This was too straightforward for me. I guess I would have liked more intrigue. I actually preferred the cold resteep! It was just a little tart and fruity, maybe orangey.

TTB! This tastes pretty much how you’d expect. I wouldn’t need it again, but I did enjoy that it wasn’t quite as overly smoky as some lapsangs.

TTB! This is unpleasantly herbaceous and savory. I’m not a fan. I drank it cold, but would not want it again.

TTB! Nice mango flavor, which is really sweet and fresh with added milk and sugar. The black base seems pretty decent too. I enjoyed this!
