After some kind of hiccup of our dear Steepster, I am writing a note for this tea from
Shae’s ADVENT CALENDAR, December 17
Apparently this tea is one of teas I wanted to try, so I am lucky having a small pouch with me now. Thanks Shae, was it intention or lucky accident? Anyway, I am not THAT happy when I smelled it.
It is quite smoky for me, which is putting me bit off track. And apples, but no toffee. Now, after I took two teaspoons, I think I notice intended toffee. Maybe it just needed to breath a bit? Dunno.
Anyway, I again prepared my tea in 300 ml.
It was alright; there was some smokiness, bold black tea, baked apples in bonfire, but overall everthing somehow muted. The apples were like ash-y a bit? At least in taste; maybe my brain is fooling with me with that smokiness.
I would like something more brisk. I think in theory this tea is amazing, but unfortunately, something is lacking.

Flavors: Apple, Ash, Smoke
Yeah, I also appreciate the safflowers as tiny little flames. :D
I am indeed a wishlist lurker, Martin. ;)
Haha, I thought so. Nothing wrong with that!
