Homemade Advent Exchange Tea #6

Although I enjoy prickly pear fruit and dragon fruit (also from a cactus), I strongly disliked this tea. Do you know that chemical plastic smell in a dollar store? This is that smell. It is plasticy but also a bit green (like bittermelon) and there are some mineral notes. The brew is a lovely subtle pink, which is nice. The taste was just not my thing.

Day 17 of my Steepster homemade advent calendar from Kelmishka. I followed the instructions on Tadin’s website, but I brewed to the far end of the steeping window and 10 minutes is much too long for my preferences. It just came out really STRONG. It’s so bitter that it actively hurts. I can taste cactus at the tail end of the sip, behind the woody bitterness, but it’s a struggle. Diluting this didn’t really help either, unfortunately. Reserving rating since I think/hope this was user error. If I ever make this again, would definitely err on the side of a short steep.

If you like bitter tastes, then this is the tea for you. I did not like this tea in the least! It was unbearably bitter. I put 3tbsp of honey and it did absolutely no good. I really don’t have much to say about the taste other than ICK! I know that aloe and cactus have great properties for skin, hair and immune system, but I think I will stick to ingesting aloe through delicious jellies.
