A Powerful Princess Blend
Adventaggedon Day Ten – 5/5
This tea is apparently supposed to be inspired by one of the characters from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power but I couldn’t actually figure out who it’s supposed to be a reference it. None of the “evil” princesses are really magic users, and also all of them seem to be covered by other blends in this collection. So, I spent a lot of this mug trying to work on who this was supposed to be for – and I just didn’t get there.
That said, I thought the blend was okay. It’s supposed to be a spiced rum flavour, and I think that’s a stretch – though it DEFINITELY tastes spiced. Well, really one spice. Star anise. This blend is pretty much defined by that sweet, coating black licorice flavour. I love star anise so it was hard to not like this tea even though it seems to be failing at doing what it wants to be. Aside from that sweet and pungent flavour, the rest of this tea seems confused. It’s a little bit fruity in a very loose citrus way, and also perhaps a touch bit rootbeer-y from the sarsparilla but those flavours are more of a muddled backdrop that don’t seem to properly connect to anything else happening in my mouth.
It’s definitely not the weirdest tea we’ve tried from Thesaurus – but it’s not the strongest either, and I think I finished the cup with more questions than answers.
