Shae’s ADVENT CALENDAR, December 18
Oh, it is puerh hidden in today envelope? Apparenly not. Tea Drops. I remember tasting notes from Roswell Strange maybe? I like the concept…
Well, I saw lots of crystals when I took it from the plastic packaging. I thought it will be very sweet. I was playing with the photo — behold my bamboo tweezers from Tangpin as a gift with tea order. I have tried to use it with the tea, but I need to learn it I guess :D
Anyway, lets dissolve this flower.
It dissolves quite quickly and I got just a cloudy brown colour reminding me a bottled iced teas. Not a bad thing necessarily; but I knew it isn’t great. I took a sniff and I noticed roses and sweet note of the tea.
When sipping, when it was warm-hot it was rose-y, but quite weakly. Sugar was overpowering everything and yep, it was soo sweet to me. I didn’t get ANY bergamot in this, rose was quite weak, base was “killed” by sugar and overall it was bit weird experience.
I am surprised that you guys were liking it. I wasn’t. But finished the cup!

Love the bamboo tweezers! I wasn’t sure what you meant by “dissolve the flower” until I saw the photo — what an interesting concept to have a flower-shaped tea!
LOL! Martin I use my bamboo tongs to get toast out of the toaster. I know I won’t accidentally electrocute myself that way…
White Antlers I had to laugh seeing your comment! Safety is key!
Toaster tongs, genius!
Ah, that’s what they are for. Not tea, but toasts. LOL.
Yep, language can be bit tricky Courtney, I agree, it is interesting concept, but unfortunately didn’t liked the tea. But if it is instant; I can understand using the shapes. It is at least nice eyecandy.
