I did some superficial cleaning and de-cluttering today and discovered long forgotten fandom blends hidden beneath the display cabinet. Six of them. Oh, lord. If I can finish all of them before the end of the month I’ll consider it part of Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge January 2022: A Tea Paired with a Favourite Hobby. Consider this sipdown: 1/6!
Although this is from 2014, I still think is pretty flavourful. It’s an elusive “chocolate chai cream” contraption and I do still get that. The predominant flavour is clove spice (cloves will never die), followed by cardamon, cinnamon, and ginger. There’s a backdrop of thin (artificial) chocolate (think stale Hershey’s Kiss that’s lived under the fridge for a decade. It’s in a wrapper so it’s edible, right? Or maybe not..), and a vague vanilla cream. The rooibos and black tea base blend isn’t super discernible at this point.
It’s not amazing but it’s serviceable, especially when taken with some kind of milk. So long, Mycroft (I’m left with a cute tin though! hurrah).
Flavors: Artificial, Cacao, Candy, Cardamom, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Clove, Cream, Ginger, Spices, Vanilla

hah, your hobby tea was also a Sherlock tea. :D I also have four of the cute Sherlock tins, and they are also probably from 2014. Did you get part of the Sherlock tin set from MissB like I did? haha. (Just seeing your tasting note now!)
I think I bought these myself, along with some Doctor Who and Game of Thrones ones (memory is hazy). I do know that my favourite ones are long gone and that these last six are “the leftovers” (Mycroft wasn’t bad though)!
haha, worth a wonder if they were from MissB anyway. I liked the Mycroft blend too.
