Shae’s Advent Calendar, December 16
Again a word I don’t understand. Mender. Nada. Do you meant “to mend”? Maybe. Ah, that seems to be right. I don’t think I need to mend my heart, but it is interesting name of blend.
I went for two teaspoons and 300 ml, as usual. I saw there is lots of rose petals, which I am not that big fan of; but lots of green there as well.
The aroma of dry blend is interesting battle between cinnamon and rose. Both ingredients are pretty much obvious there. When brewed, and I have tried to make it in ratio I see in pouch — not just rose with few greens, but rather viceversa.
The taste is interesting, I notice rose, but it’s quite hidden by herbals, which are quite strong. They suggest brewing for 10 minutes, I haven’t checked the time, but it was surely more than 8 minutes, available here. It was bit rough and I notice some tingling throat after drinking it; but overall I liked it. The rose wasn’t overpowering, but I can’t point some flavours nor scents. Maybe it reminded me a bit basil. Trying Hawthorn was fun. I don’t think I tried some tea with it before. I can be wrong though.

I think you got it right, Martin. To mend is to sew/repair/fix. Like you mend a tear in your shirt, you mend a broken fence (or heart), you mend a misunderstanding between yourself and another person. So-one who mends is a mender. But you knew all this… : )
I think Rowan + Sage released this one earlier in the year, so the name is perhaps for those who might be feeling heartbroken because of all that’s happened in the world this year.
That’s an interesting thought Shae. And this was as I wanted: something local, unique or other way interesting.
Luckily I don’t feel heartbroken, but unfortunately it isn’t a case for all.
