Advent Day 13
I skipped day 12 because the first ingredient was hibiscus and I wasn’t willing to put myself through that kind of torture.
This tea is a blend of green and black tea, which I’m not sure how I feel about in this tea. The teas in the advent didn’t come with steeping instructions so I’m guessing on parameters. The dry tea had a strong scent to it. Once steeped I can clearly smell and taste the grassy notes of the green tea. The caramel apple flavor was more prominent when my cup was hot, but now that it’s has cooled they are toned down and my cup is more tangy and green. I think this is a perfectly fine tea, but it has the misfortune of being paired in my mind against another caramel apple tea that is perfection IMO and had bolder flavors which I favor.

I didn’t think I’d like this one (apple), but it’s a really nice, warm, balanced blend. No one thing really overpowers the rest, which is contrary to what I was expecting and is exactly what I want from this kind of blend.
