Advent Day 9
How to describe this tea? It’s smooth, light but strong malt, a hint of light tobacco flavors with bread, maybe some hay, a little dry in the finish. It’s nice. I don’t know straight darjeelings well enough to say if this is average or above. I’m finding that a lot of these teas are ones I’d drink again if I came across them, but I wouldn’t seek them out or add them to my cupboard. I’m really hoping to see more blends in this calendar. I know Fauchon has a bunch of teas I like and more I’d like to try.

I’m never a big fan of when more flavored-focused companies have straight teas in their advents… I guess I tend to buy unflavored teas from companies that specialize in them.
I agree and I’m hoping the rest of the month is more flavor diverse! It also disappoints me when companies don’t use advents as a way to introduce people to a range of their teas. It seems like such a missed opportunity for all. Fortnum and Mason had several repeats a few years ago and Mariage Freres was heavy on their In Love line the year I had their advent, for example.
