Adventaggedon Day Nine – 4/5
To the surprise of literally no one, this blend of mango and Lapsang Souchong was probably my favourite tea to be included in the Thesaurus advent so far. God, I hate how predictable my tastes are. Why am I so predictably in love with everything smoked!?
I think, arguably, there could be more mango in the blend – it’s present and I think distinct enough that I’d name it as mango even if the queue wasn’t present in the name. That more than can be said of several of the call out flavours for some of these Thesaurus blends. It’s just possibly a little thin, but I also know that DT has spoiled me when it comes to thick, juicy and syrupy mango flavoured teas. It has no right to blend together with the whisps of smoke, petrichor, and resin that the pine smoked Lapsang provides, but the two are a smash hit for me. This feels so perfect for its fandom influence. Like, the most perfect I’ve seen from this company thus far.
Also! This is another blend that I already owned, so I decided to add to the serving that was given using some of my own tea leaf so that I could make a giant pot of this tea in my big Star Wars teapot. My inner nerd just needed that. It was too perfect not to.
