Ha ha I haven’t tried this one yet, but “cat pee” is not exactly encouraging… XD
lol. Maybe it’s like cilantro- some people love it and some people say it tastes like soap? I’ve always gotten cat pee from black currant, but I know a lot of people love it, so hopefully you like it too!
LOL! There is a beer brewer in Austin who makes sours and every time I’ve tried them I got flavors of acetone and vomit. Enough people must be tasting it differently since they were able to stay in business.
Ha ha I love sours, and I don’t know if you’re talking about Blue Owl or not, but they’re my fave! XD
OMG, I am totally talking about Blue Owl! LOL! I haven’t had them in years because I was so grossed out by the flavors. Their taproom was in my neighborhood and I’d shudder every time I’d drive past. I’ve long been in love with Martin House Brewing sours in Fort Worth. They do such interesting flavors and pull them off so well. Muller HEB has a good selection of their beers.
And thank you for perfectly illustrating my point, Cameron! :)
I completely understand this about black currant flavoring. But IMO, S&V’s was usually the least offending of black currant flavoring, if that means anything. :)
I love that so many of you grabbed S&V’s advent! But it also seems like they are including the teas that would be their least best-sellers, if that is a thing. And they have SO MANY teas, so that is a weird choice for them to make.
I think advents are a big marketing opportunity that companies treat as an after thought. It is often given as a gift (or in my case to try a new company out) to people unfamiliar with their brand of teas. I’m baffled that they wouldn’t want to put their best selling or unique teas in them and show off to entice new customers. It blows my mind when they do repeats in advents too.
YES exactly — advents should be treated more like samplers by these tea shops!
I checked the list of teas before buying, and I think we may be past the boring ones ha ha. I remember there being a lot of holiday teas and even a couple of literary ones!
