Vahdam Advent Calendar – Day 22
Ooh, it’s not a masala chai or a turmeric tisane! I don’t love rose, but the ingredients sound very interesting so I’m excited to try this.
The aroma is rose, cardamom, and honey, which bodes well! Hmm, I’m not sure I got enough black tea in my scoop, as the base is rather thin. But the flavors are nice! I like the rose with the cardamom, it mellows out the floral note a bit. I do get quite a bit of honey in the taste as well, perhaps from the saffron? I can taste its sweet earthy presence here. As for the nuts, maybe a little bit of almond? But it’s possible I didn’t shake the tin well enough and all of the nut dust is at the bottom…
It has the potential to be very good, but the thinness of the black tea is distracting to me, and it’s like I can taste the water underneath it all. Perhaps more leaf next time?

I remember reading the Uglies series in middle school! I feel like I enjoyed the world building, but not the romance, if I remember correctly. I hope you liked it!
It was okay but I feel like I’m done with that type of YA dystopian story
Yeah, I haven’t read any YA since then because my interests moved on to other things, but the dystopian genre definitely seemed to be a popular one in YA for a good decade or so.
I am all over the map with my reading. A bit of YA but mostly other things.
