Advent Calendar from Kaylee: Day 4
For whatever reason, I’m always surprised when I encounter a flavored oolong! So I did a bit of an olfactory double-take when I opened the packet for this one, saw the name, and then immediately smelled something herby. (The marigold petals were a visual giveaway, too.)
So, yes! This smells very strongly of lemon and basil, although when it’s brewed, I get a whiff of marijuana as well. The flavor is not as bright and zingy as I’d imagine, though! It’s kind of muted and muddy, although it does have a nice smooth mouthfeel.
I think I just don’t care for herb-heavy teas, because this isn’t doing much for me! I think I prefer sweet, dessert-y lemon flavors in tea to more savory ones.
Flavors: Basil, Cannabis, Herbs, Lemon, Smooth
