Bird & Blend Advent Day 19 (19-December 2020)

I got a hint of grapefruit when I first ripped open the sachet, but that’s dissipated now that’s the tea has steeped. I’m getting that distinct puffed rice scent that must be the puffed quinoa. There’s a sweetness that’s also got a hint of bitter, like a caramel that’s almost gone too far, but also is very, very light. Also, it’s got a nice buttery texture to it. The green tea base is really great here as well. It’s a very good tea. I would consider ordering this one.

A says “This tastes like popcorn! It’s cool, but it’s so weird! It tastes like salty, buttery popcorn!”

Preparation

Interesting that quinoa makes same feel like the popcorn; somehow I want to try that as well.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
