nerdfelt advent, day 1

This advent is my first experience with nerdfelt teas, and I’m looking forward to the experience. I think a favorite part so far is you can’t spoil the teas for yourself by perusing the package, since the tea labels are inside the packages of tea.

I opened yesterday with this, which made an excellent morning tea and would have also been pleasant for dessert. The scent of cinnamon is strong, and the flavor is also clear and present but doesn’t overpower the smooth black tea (until you’re down to the very end of a cold cup). The cacao nibs lend a light hint of chocolate. I did oversteep it, but it seemed to come out okay despite – I missed the alarm doing other things! In all, an opening I quite enjoyed.

Flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 8 min or more

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
