Advent Calendar Day Five
Well, it finally happened – this is the first tea from the calendar that I just flat out didn’t like. It’s supposed to be mango/tropical fruit with hibiscus and apple, I believe? But as soon as I brewed it up and saw it was firetruck red I knew all it was gonna taste like would be hibiscus…
I was right; it was so tart and really didn’t taste like much else other than really concentrated hibiscus and apple. I wanted to taste the other flavour notes, but they just did not come through at all. So this was a miss for me as I’m not a fan of just straight up hibiscus…
The thing that troubles me about tea advent calendars is that some are caffeinated and others are not. I like to start the day with caffeine and end the day on a cup of without. Tough call on order and surprise drinking.
Evol Ving Ness, I hear you. Plus I cannot drink black/oolong/pu’reh teas and that’s usually a huge portion of a calendar so it seems pointless to me :/. The GCTTB was my substitute :)
Glad it worked out then. Still, there can be a surprising variety in greens and herbals and rooibos/honeybush blends.
I do love my blacks though.
