2036 tasting notes

Advent Calendar from TakeT: Day 19
Back on track! Yay!

Ok, it seem I won’t sleep this night. Black tea, now a mate, well both high in caffeine. But actually, I was so tired today after work (which is strange as I haven’t done much), so extra caffeine boost is fine.

I really like that they have combined many different bases in this Advent. Mate for second time, most being black (but that’s common for Finnish tea blending) and actually just one was a fruit blend? At least it is not a show of hibiscus and rosehips.

This one is fine, but not so good as Happy Mate was. that one was creamy and refreshing, while this one was just a bit more sour / lemon filled mate. The mate they use is great though as it is definitely not smoky and not mineral as they often are… thus much more acessible for beginning drinkers, including me.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I bet the lemon is a good camouflage for the mate.

I’ve had this problem too! It’s hard to keep control of caffeine intake AND keep up with advents.

Lemon is definitely a good camouflage for the mate. Refreshing and high in caffeine. What else?

Luckily I don’t have to watch much the caffeine intake, as the worst what can happen is I won’t sleep. But nothing else.

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
