Mariage Frères Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 23
Initially smells and tastes a little like a Christmas potpourri: citrus fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, apple, and possibly a dash of cranberry and rosemary (there’s definitely something herbaceous in here). It’s busy, but it’s also nice to see a holiday-themed blend in this eclectic advent selection.
The apple-like flavour is kind of a dry unsweet cider variety that’s actually my thing; the citrus is zest and rind rather than sweet. The blend is creamy, fruity, and spicy but only has the ghost of sweetness- which is a nice change of pace from all these sugarbomb fruit teas. The tea is growing on me a lot as the cup sits a bit! Cream and butter galore. Mmm…Flavors: Allspice, Apple, Butter, Cinnamon, Citrus Zest, Cranberry, Creamy, Herbaceous, Malt, Spicy, Tart, Vanilla, Woody
