Bird & Blend Advent Day 23 (23-December 2020)

The coffee bean is nice, and I’m getting the orange mostly in the scent. The cacao nibs and shells complement the coffee bean here. Overall, I really enjoyed this and I’ll be re-steeping. Ultimately, I think I’d order Fairytale of NY over this one.

I wish I liked red rooibos. There are so many amazing sounding blends, including this one. I hope you feel better soon!

I don’t recall seeing this on their website. That sounds like an interesting blend for sure!

I was going to ask if you tried Fairytale of NY when I was reading the start of your note but then I saw you did. Also, sorry to hear you are not feeling well, especially since you are trying to power through some work before the holidays. Hope you’re feeling alright now.

Martin I think it can be found under their Limited Edition teas. :)

Thanks VariaTEA! Fairytale of NY I really do love, though I’d buy this one in a pinch if that one was sold out.

Leafhopper Thanks!

Profile

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, 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.

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