CuppaGeek Advent Calendar, December 18

That looks like plain black tea. No, something is there.
Opened pouch… ah, sweet aroma.
Hmm, vanilla.

I wasn’t the fan of sweet flavours in tea. I mean, I have tried a few when I was little. I can’t forget trying Tiramisu tea. In tea bag. It was yucky. Maybe I would like it though now. It’s out of production, luckily?! But I got as well Venetian Tiramisu from Harney. So, yep, I can drink sweet ones now :)

So, this tea. I did single 5 minute steep, and it was pretty nice. Nice black base, with creamy vanilla. There isn’t much more to write about! It was smooth, no rough edges of tea; just maybe way too straightforward. But it isn’t a bad thing! I reckon trying it other day, when not having a sweet breakfast tea, I would enjoy it more. Thanks anyway Nichole, at least I found out I don’t mind vanilla at least.

You all are seriously giving me all the tea feels with the positive yet constructive notes you all are giving me. I really do appreciate them!

Nichole: I am trying to be constructive, as that is only way to improve :) Some teas were great, some less, but it is up to personal preferences, so not a big deal :)

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
