Mariage Frères Advent 2021 – Day 23
It’s flippin’ blue! Again! (arrrrrrrrrrrrgg….)
We’ve reached at least this level of blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KK6sMo8NBY
The only flavour in this blend is the ghosts of citruses past. Ok, maybe I get the afterimage of grapefruit ginger over time. It’s faint. Very faint. Doesn’t the fantome de l’opera have a killer voice? The tea isn’t offensive but it’s not as dynamic or bright as I’d like either. DF has lush citrus flavouring and I’m sadly comparing.
Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Grapefruit, Smooth

I have been expecting this level of blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc
I almost included that song too. It’s also mood perfect :P
Hahaha, Martin, that is exactly what first came to my mind, too!
Can you just imagine if the worst parts of the advents got together to make one extremely groan-worthy tea? I’m imagining one of these French green base butterfly pea flower blue teas covered in the gold luster dust… shudders
Nooooooo!!!! That’s the worst. Falls under the category “it’s so bad it’s good again.”
I feel like you guys got more blue teas than I did doing this advent last year. I remember soooo many of the blue ones were oolong teas and feeling like someone in their R&D department must have though they were so clever for making ‘blue tea’ (another name for oolong tea) that actually steeped blue. Bad tea puns.
Right?! Someone thought they were punny and got carried away. It is a neat effect. In moderation.
