B&B Advent 2021 Day 22

Well, I wasn’t too excited for this one, but how wrong I was! The steeped scent was very dark chocolate with hints of spice that immediately reminded me of this delicious chocolate spice cookie we make. The taste translated almost exactly and I’m so happy I was wrong. I would say the chai fell to the background (which I’m thrilled about), and the dark chocolate came forward with a spicy kick in the back of the throat. We both downed our cups at record speed and agreed we absolutely must order this one!

Bio

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).
