Advent Calendar Day 1
So excited to FINALLY dig into this! I was happy to find that today’s tea was not only a new blend for me but a new company I hadn’t even heard of! Also excited that it’s a banana tea. Weirdly enough, I’m not the biggest fan of fresh bananas, but I love banana bread and banana-flavored tea blends. And this particular one is excellent: a nice blend of banana and caramel with the black tea adding some depth and the honeybush bringing some sweetness. A great start to a fun month of sampling new things! A big thank you to Shae for organizing this year and to Amanda for the cute calendar and extra Lush goodies she included. :)
After the disappointing cup of Banana Bread Chai that I had this morning, I decided to venture back into banana territory for the second cup of the day. This one is much more pleasant! The banana flavor is present, with some toffee notes as well. Very rich and decadent.
Flavors: Caramel, Toffee
So I have a different tea for today. It seems like there is no designated tea per day, at least I don’t think.
Mine didn’t come numbered…the proper procedure appears to be “pick one and be surprised!” I’m with you … I despise banana texture, but the flavor itself is OK.
I think I’m the only person with a strong aversion to both banana texture and flavor… heck, even the scent of the stuff triggers my gag reflex. It’s the only food I have that kind of an aversion! So even “artificial banana flavorings” I can’t handle.
Mine aren’t numbered either so I wasn’t sure what to do. I guess I’ll just pick one!
Glad you liked the first day’s offering!
Amanda’s such a great swap partner! I don’t know if you have swapped with each other before, but you two seemed like the perfect match when I was putting my list together.
This blend sounds really good. I’ve been seeing a lot of notes for CuppaGeek’s teas and am feeling very tempted to place an order. Plus, I’m adding more and more teas to my wishlist after reading everyone’s advent tasting notes. There are too many to try!
It was so thoughtful of you to pair us up, Shae! I sent a calendar to Amanda last year, but don’t think I’ve ever received from her before. And Amanda, I’m loving it so far. Thanks again! :)
Shae- Aw, shucks. Thank you.
Inkling- Glad to hear that! You’re very welcome.
