Day 18 in my Tea Revv advent calendar. I distinctly remember someone on Steepster warning me about the Tea Revv advent calendar last year. I can’t remember who, but they definitely forewarned me about the excessive flavouring they add.
I didn’t listen.
This is the only green tea in the 24 days (why?!) and it’s not so bad. I can taste the perfume of the rose with notes of cinnamon something slightly sweet – probably the apple. It’s not a distinct appley flavour. And the green tea isn’t that pleasant. It’s astringent, which doesn’t work with the cinnamon and apple flavours in this blend.
Ah well. It’s nowhere near as bad as the atrocity that was day 2. Choc Mint. That one had such a strong nail polish aroma. It took days of washing to get the chemical taste out of my tea infuser.

Nail polish aroma? My word. Blech.
Blech indeed. And congrats on completing your ecology exam!
Thanks! :)
I think I have got some awful cuppas too. Nail polish is something I have no idea how it smells like; but it can’t be nice.
Nail polish smells like chemicals and pure alcohol. Like paint stripper. It’s really horrible and should never be present in tea!
It’s very intensely chemical-y Martin. I might be terrified to have a food item with that scent haha!
Oh noo, how can foodstuffs be like that?!
My husband thinks tea with chocolate flavoring (not real cacao nibs and such) smells like sharp mildew. I can see that also translating to nail polish.
