Kiani Tea Advent Calendar 2021 – Day 24
So… This is the name of the tea listed for day 24, but the tea inside the pouch is decidedly unsmoked. It does seem like an unsmoked Lapsang to me though. Plus there’s glitter (again). sigh
I mean, it’s a lovely Fujian black tea. Thick, malty, bready, with oodles of caramelized dark brown sugar and molasses. There’s a prune-like dried fruit note as well that really lovely. Perhaps dried cherries as well, though not quite as tart. It has that trademark (to me at least) Fujian caraway/rye note as well.
It’s a yummy tea, but 1) I was looking forward to the smoked version, and 2) why glitter whyyyyyy?! :|
ETA: Forgot the jam! For Day 24, it was Orange-Cinnamon Spread and I was surprised by how much I liked it. I’m not generally a marmalade fan, I find it simultaneously too sweet and too bitter. But this version didn’t seem bitter at all and the cinnamon really added a nice accent. Very festive!

I was unaware of the glitter problem until reading of these advent tea adventures. Perhaps a glitter factory exploded in a major tea province? There’s no getting rid of that stuff once it’s spread about.
Ha ha, for some reason she just decided to be very liberal with the luster dust in this advent…
I mean, glitter in a straight tea! Come onnnnnn.
The tea sounds great. The glitter, well, you already know my opinion.
