Provence d’Antan Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 2
Kind of annoying that so far these Provence d’Antan blends are all teas that aren’t listed individually on their website. The only place I could find them is as part of holiday gift boxes. Oddly though, they do seem to be equivalent to other teas with different names, like this one sounds the same as their North Pole tisane. Not sure why the name is different, but oh well.
Anyway! This is an apple and fennel herbal tisane with some other ingredients. The star anise in it combined with the fennel is definitely the dominant flavor, followed by the orange peel and the other spices. I don’t really taste apple at all. Mostly it tastes like licorice with a touch of orange oil.
Not bad, but not something I would ever order. A bit more balance between the flavors would be nice.
Flavors: Anise, Clove, Fennel, Ginger, Licorice, Orange, Orange Zest, Star Anise, Sweet

You would think the name ‘North Pole’ would be more suited to an advent calendar anyway!
Yeah it’s odd, I think the difference might be that North Pole is in silky sachets and these are tea bags? But yes, it’s quite odd…
Unusual that they change the name if the recipe stays the same. I’m drinking through an organic English Tea Shop advent calendar at the minute and it seems like they’re all existing blends which have been renamed to distinguish between regular and organic versions.
