A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 19

This one smells like H&S Cinnamon Spice, wow. Extreme cinnamon heart candy! I never got too excited for green teas, but let’s see how this one pans out – thus far A.C. Perch has impressed me.

It looks like Angrboda mentions clove and I’m not seeing that in the ingredients — perhaps they’ve changed the recipe for this tea over the years.

The taste is actually much more subtle and light. Granted, I lowered the steeping time from 5 to 3 minutes, so perhaps that’s playing a part in how subtle the flavours are. It’s delicious! There’s a cinnamon heat paired with a cinnamon sweetness, but it’s not in your face at all (not liquified cinnamon hearts). The green tea base is unassuming, yet smooth. Really lovely tea!

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
