The first tea that I drank post-advents! Why this tea? Well, why not? I think I just felt a little paralyzed by how much choice I suddenly had and I ended up going for the very first tin that I grabbed off the shelf. No thoughts, just tea.
It’s a nice enough chocolate orange tea. Heavier on the orange which, since this is a green tea base, makes sense to me in a way I can’t quite put into words. I think if the chocolate was heavier this might have read as thin to me since the green tea has a more gentle body. Instead this manages to be a fresh feeling in a way chocolate blends are typically not. Why is it called Jungle, though? That part makes zero sense to me.
Also, it’s nice to see that Palais de Thes is capable of doing a fresh and juicy orange flavour since their “Juicy sunrise” blend with orange is so chalky and medicinal.
