Day 12 of DIY Adagio advent calendar, which means I’m finally done with this calendar! Not the finest note to end on, unfortunately. The peach is very “peach gummy candy” rather than “fresh fruit” or even “juice/nectar.” The base is earthy and hearty, but that doesn’t really mesh well with the candy note. DavidsTea’s Peaches & Cream oolong isn’t a perfect comparison, because this blend doesn’t purport to have a creamy element. Still, I think part of why that blend works better than this one is that the base tea is lighter and more floral than this one, which is a better match to the fruity note. Luckily, this was just a sample, so the definition of low stakes.
It’s weird to me that all of their flavored oolongs use an oxidized strip-style base…
Yes! I don’t get it.
