Re-Cranimator

Catching up after some busy work days, but it goes slow as new surprises keep cropping up and taking me away from the house (and my tea).

Re-crAnimator is a fun blend. The scent is festive but light. I get spiced cranberry with orange, which is also reflected in the flavor. The orange in particular here was strong, which surprised me. My cup came out a fairly pale pink despite using the whole sample in a single mug, but it didn’t detract from the flavor. I have a lot of other similar blends currently. Still, this goes on the list as a possible purchase in the future.

BrutaliTeas Advent, Day 8

BrutaliTeas Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 8

I was excited when I saw cran, but it’s a fruit tisane.

This is fairly generic to me, it tastes the same as all of those Mulled whatever fruit tisanes from Bird & Blend. Very tart red fruits combined with spices. This one is perhaps a little heavier on the ginger, but still very similar. I do like the lime, though do we really need lime and hibiscus together?

Anyway, a fine cup but nothing special.

Cold Brew!

I’m not totally sure what this is supposed to taste like. Given the name I would have probably assumed cranberry, but there’s so much else going on in the ingredients. Plus, steeped up the thing that I tasted more than anything else was actually cherry. Cherry with a little bit of sweet lime and some very mild undertones of ginger, but cherry nonetheless. I enjoyed it actually quite a bit, but something tells me I’m going to need at least another cuppa to wrap my mind around exactly what it’s trying to be.
