From Sonnentor

Stinging nettle blows away winter cobwebs and gets you into gear from spring. It will spark your burning desire for its refreshing and aromatic herbal taste. It is said that Stinging Nettle, which is sacred to Thor, was used to fend off thunderstorms. The plant is a universally popular all-rounder, which is used as tea, in spring for dishes and even as a fertilizer for plants.

SONNENTOR ADVENT DAY 11

Well, I can say with great relief that this tea tastes better than the teabag smells.

I didn’t know what Brennnessel meant. But after I opened the pouch and smelled it I needed to know what I was getting into. There was a lovely story on the wrapper about vanilla but this was not vanilla scented. So Brennnessel means nettle.

It smells like Sucrets according to Ashman. It smelled like fishy puerh to me. With a hint of Sucrets. Ashman smelled no fishy musty odor. Until I steeped it. Then he agreed there was something going on.

The taste is not bad at all, though. As I sip I still get the fishy aroma but the flavor is just herbaceous. This isn’t an herb I would normally go for unless I really needed it for a specific medical use.

Oh dear! I haven’t realised it is that bad. But same here, nothing to enjoy, but good if needed for medical use.

Nettle can smell like fish food flakes to me, nutritious.

I used to drink nettle for my knees, but I find that strengthening the knee muscles is more effective. So it’s the stair master for me. I always thought nettle had a nutty and grassy taste.

Advent calendar 11

Stinging Nettle

“Baking time again. Vanilla bows (Vanillekipferl). Rolling and turning the dough is almost meditative. Who makes most beautiful bows? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and sampling and licking has priority anyway. What are your favourite biscuits?”

We bake them too. They are maybe favourite. Maybe not most favourite, but I like it for sure. I wonder what you, mostly US members, think about this cookie?

As for tea? Well, pure nettle tea. Herbal again, bit stinging too. But nothing much to write about. It was just – herbal tea. I wonder if my taste buds are so meh, or it was just same all the time. Like it does not have any distinctive notes to write about. I know, it is herbal; but sometimes the blends are nice, something to enjoy, but recently from those Sonnentor teas I thing it is just – hot drink with herbal flavour. Maybe litte lavander or lemongrass can make those teas not so boring.

I’ve heard of vanilla crescents, which might be similar. Anyway, they sound good!

I think it is almost same, if not totally :) Maybe different translation :)
