Vanilla Cinnabun

Light cinnamon flavor on a pretty weak base. There’s something a little metallic in there as well. I was really hoping for some pastry flavor, but I keep getting metal. That flavor luckily dissipated as it cooled. There’s something a little bit creamy, but no pastry. I wouldn’t have this one again.

Now that I’ve finished my 2019 Tea Revv advent calendar, I’m thinking back on all the teas I’ve had from them. A couple have been super good, though many have been average or bad. Honestly, the ones that are tasty are good enough that I might consider an advent calendar from them again…maybe. If they had enough new flavors so I don’t have to have ones I already know I dislike. I wouldn’t recommend it to others though.

#adventageddon Day One – 4/5

I have reach peak caffeine levels – I can literally feel myself vibrating right now and my eyes are bouncing around my room like mad. This is gonna be a fun month!

Tea Revv/Yawn Brew is a new (to me) tea company; I wanted to include at least one advent in my selection where I’d never experienced the company before. I know several people on Steepster have done their calendar in past years with mixed reviews – I’m excited to form my own opinion though!

I love the concept of this tea – and sure enough when I opened the little packet I was greeted with a rich and very sweet smelling mix of cream, vanilla, and cinnamon! I totally got, right away, that this was intended to taste like a Cinnamon Bun!

Now that I’m drinking it, I think it’s pretty nice – maybe the nicest flavoured advent tea of the day!? However, it’s not nearly as sweet and creamy tasting as the dry leaf smelled and the cinnamon is a lot more forward/pronounced. Aside from that just slightly drying cinnamon note, I get a strong bread-y quality from the black tea that plays well into the Cinnamon Bun profile and then just a bit of cream and vanilla on the back end.

It’s definitely a cinnamon bun – I just want more of that creamy, sweet icing flavour!
