Palais des Thés Advent Calendar – Day 17 (from November backlog)
Ooh, hooray! This is one that I really wanted to try from Palais des Thés. I love rhubarb and this is a strawberry and rhubarb black tea, with some other flavors as well. It definitely smells mostly strawberry in the sachet, though.
Well, sadly I don’t think I get rhubarb at all. It mostly tastes of sweet strawberry hard candies, with a bit of honey and lavender thrown in. I’m not a huge fan of lavender, but thankfully here it’s quite mild. The base tea is adding a nice bready flavor that I enjoy, and is overall quite light in body. I think I would prefer this without the lavender honestly, but it might be quite boring then.
Unfortunately, this did not live up to my rhubarb dreams. Oh well, there’s always B&B’s Rhubarb + Custard… ;)

Rhubarb really is the best.
I know! I wish it were more of a thing here in the States.
It really should be! I feel like I know quite a few people here that grow it in the summer. My mom always did!
It’s a bit more common in the South, in pies and preserves and such. But the UK seems to have it everywhere, and I’m so jealous!
That’s fair! Maybe we have it quite a bit in NS because so much of our culture is based from Ireland, Scotland, and the UK!
