Plum Deluxe Advent Calendar – Day 18
I agree with Mastress Alita, the dry leaf definitely smells like cream cheese frosting…
Definitely not a fan. This is over-the-top artificial tasting… I can taste the honeybush underneath, and it has a peppery note to it that conflicts with the flavoring. As for the flavoring itself, it’s very fake-buttery and reminds me of the caramel-flavored syrups that I always hate. There’s something a bit coconutty as well in the aftertaste.
Nope, nope, nope!

Ya, I definitely got that in the aroma, but I think I just got blackberry leaf in the flavor! (And seriously, what is up with that honeybush?)
I haven’t tried this particular blend yet, but I know exactly what you mean by the peppery flavor that sometimes appears. It always confuses me!
It’s also weird how it’s only in some honeybush, maybe it’s brought out by other flavors? Because I actually love honeybush and it’s not usually peppery to me.
It isn’t usually to me either, but the specific one they are using tastes that way to me. But now I have a suspicion their “base” honeybush may be Adagios, and I have never been a big fan of their base teas…
