This is kind of like a savory chocolate mint tea. Kind of.
It’s a hard experience to describe. It’s herbaceous with an almost soft quality from the chamomile, and the mint adds a vibrancy that is pretty standard of mint. Fennel seems to round out the flavors, while adding a bit of mouth tingle that I get from eating fennel bulbs. The LB adds a pretty substantial amount of cocoa and malt notes, while the oolong insures that it feels cool to the pallate. Like I said. Hard to describe.
In any case, it’s grown on me a lot over the last while and has become my de facto nighttime cup (though I’m drinking it mid afternoon right now while I finish up some projects that are driving me mad).
This tea totally embodies the hug in a cup sentiment that I give tea.
