Adventageddon Day 17 – Tea 3/4
Wow, this is not a tea for me. I don’t even really like chamomile on a good day, but the fact this is a chamomile blend also drowning in licorice root feels like a flavour crime targeting me personally. I did add a bit of honey before I realized there was licorice root in the tea, and I couldn’t even taste it at all over that sickly sweet flavour. Like musty basement flowers dunked in pure sweet.
It’s a shame because the bee pollen element is really cool but you can’t taste it at all, so I sort of felt like what’s the point? I’m sure that this would be a great blend for a lot of people; I can see the soothing chamomile and honey angle being relaxing or how the licorice root and honey might be nice for a raw feeling throat. It’s just super not for me.

Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 17 (sachets)
I really like this. I see it has camomile, honey, bee pollen, and licorice root. I know a lot of people dislike licorice root but I don’t mind it. For some reason, this smells the most apple-y of any chamomile (or camomile) I have tried. Maybe that is due to the sweetness of the licorice root.
I am glad to have tried it, and glad of every tea in the sachet advent that is not also in the tins advent!
Advent Day 11
Tastes like chamomile, but without the H and with a bee pollen strangeness to it.
Other than this tea being warm on a night I was drinking it out in the cold, it was utterly forgettable. I’m not familiar with the taste of bee pollen and what I picked out in the tea as bee pollen just tasted strange. I could only detect it in the start of the cup, then the camomile taste took over. I’d prefer Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chamomile to this tea any day!
Licorice is a flavour crime. :P
I also dislike chamomile, however the liquorice (more subtle in my bag than yours, I think – a problem with one-bag trials as the blend may not be evenly spread in each “dose”) actually helped mitigate the chamomile. I think I drank this with milk but can’t recall.
