B&B Advent 2021 Day 24

Last day, and it seems like a bold choice! Smoky, spicy, and peppermint? Honestly, I’m not looking forward to it XD. I began my morning with the best of intentions, but I smelled the dry teabag and it had the scent of smoky baked ham and I just couldn’t bring myself to steep this up. Advent blasphemy to skip a day, and the last day at that, but I just couldn’t.

I’ve put these teabags back in their wee advent box and have it in a back corner of my cupboard to include in any swaps (if anyone is interested)!

Bio

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).
