Bird & Blend Advent Day 12 (12-December 2020)

Wow, this smells just like a mincemeat tart in the dry sachet! Takes me right home to my Nann’s!

Steeped it smells different again, but still delicious. There is a baked good flavour here that I really enjoy. The overall taste of this one was great — I can’t recall specifics because I’ve been so immersed in this paper so I can hopefully move onto the next paper and exam studying soon!

I’m having a resteep of this tea now and it’s still super tasty. The clove comes out in the second steep, but not in an overwhelming way — just softly and meshes perfectly into the base tea. I would definitely consider ordering this one for our cupboard!

I happened to share this one with my family today! Accidentally participating in the advent calendar!

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
