BrutaliTeas Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 24
So I like eggnog, but this doesn’t taste anything like it to me.
It mostly just tastes like woody rooibos, with a touch of mustiness to it. There’s a little bit of cinnamon in the aroma, but I don’t get any in the taste. And certainly no nutmeg or creaminess, which would be what would make it eggnog.
A disappointing end to the advent.
Flavors: Musty, Rooibos, Woody

I was sad when the advent sold out before I could buy one, but I noticed your reviews were sort of medium for it. Would you buy it again, or did you feel that once was enough?
I probably wouldn’t, there were a few I liked but none that were must-buys, and most were just meh for me. Although obviously it’s very subjective, you might enjoy them much more!
I felt the same way when I got the advent a few years ago. The punny tea names were probably the best part.
It’s worth noting, I think they blend with a lot of Adagio teas, and I don’t like Adagio so I’m not surprised to not love these teas either.
Yeah I wasn’t blown away by the flavors from last year’s calendar, but I enjoyed having it. I’ll probably go ahead and skip it next year…on purpose this time!
I didn’t realize they were using Adagio teas! They have been mostly miss with the occasional hit for me, so it makes sense I feel the same about this company.
I don’t know that for sure, it just seems that way to me based on the ingredients.
