B&B Advent 2021 Day 18 (caffeine-free)

I was thinking this would just be a chamomile tea when I opened it and that was all I smelled and most of what I saw — which would’ve been fine. Boring, but a-okay. Sadly, this was not what happened. The initial taste is chamomile, but then the liquorice kicks in and attacks the sides of my mouth. The taste is so weirdly sweet, I almost thought there was also spearmint (another not so favourite ingredient).

I love a liquorice candy, but for some reason, I don’t love it in tea.

Bio

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 (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

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).
