1205 tasting notes

On the up side, this is a sipdown and, since it’s caffeine free, also counts for Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge this month. Which is great, because I’m really not a fan of this blend, especially hot. I guess it’s supposed to taste like marzipan? Which is a flavor I love, because it’s a candy I love. But the hot brew just short-circuits my brain and makes me think "why? what is this? what is this supposed to be?’ Once it cools, especially as it gets cold, the sweetness coalesces into something like marzipan and it’s not unpleasant to drink – but I won’t be reordering this one any time soon. The snowflake sprinkles in the blend are cute though.
