Advent Day 19
I see that after a hearty breakfast tea yesterday we are back to our regularly scheduled blue teas. MF is really pushing those in this advent. I opened the bag and spotted cinnamon and clove bits along with the tea and pea flower. It steeped into what looks like a deep inky indigo color when peering down into my mug. The flavors are so light and delicate. I can pick out the baked cinnamon flavor and other spices. The clove isn’t prominent enough to stand out on it’s own. I don’t taste the pea flower thankfully or the tea base. All these blue teas are so ethereal and light in flavor. There isn’t much for me to grab onto and love. I do like this one much more that the others, but I wouldn’t buy it.

So disappointing that they don’t seem to have included many (or any?) of the classics in this advent…
I was really looking forward to trying a variety of teas and not a sampling focused on a single collection.
I swear that if I open another day in this advent and find more blue tea I’m going to throw myself to the kitchen floor and have a toddler style fit. :D
Despite usually loving oolong, I don’t think I’ll be far behind you on the journey to the floor. I was almost there today :P

“our regularly scheduled blue teas.”
I’m cackling here XD

Maybe we can synchronize our advent inspired meltdowns!
