Nabo 2023 Advent Day 2: Rom och Kako
This tea has captured the rum, but mellowed it out significantly with a real creaminess that I’m assuming comes from the cacao shells. The combination means neither flavour is super prominent, but it’s a lovely cuppa to enjoy as my breakfast tea today. I might consider ordering this one as an easy tea to have at work.
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, 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 (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).
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 with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).

P.S. Starting this one Day 2 because I can’t post to the Day 1 tea (I also tried posting to Random Steepings and that isn’t working for me either). It does seem to be user-specific, ugh.
