B&B Advent 2021 Day 4
Once steeped, this has an off-putting pu’erh smell. I waited a while and that wore away, however, what was left didn’t really do it for me. Peppermint up front and chili spiciness on the back. Seemed to be lacking in complexity and neither of us enjoyed this. We both ending up dumping our cups.
I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.
I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.
I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).

Oh no, did they used too strong pu-erh?
I wasn’t truly a fan, but never had to dump it.
I got a bit of fishy smell at first too ha ha. But mine ended up just tasting like chili! x.x
“Something fishy brewing in Winterfell” lol (sorry)
