Fortnum Advent Sipdown #21
I liked this one better these last two times drinking it. I thought Ashman might dislike it since he doesn’t love bergamot, but he drank it happily. He added milk and sugar, I took mine plain.
Yesterday on the after breakfast cup, I felt like the lavender was more prominent than the bergamot, although it wasn’t overwhelmingly floral. Today for the first time, I was able to really detect the licorice root on the last cup, which was definitely cooling and was also taken after breakfast. It is probable that I didn’t notice the licorice root that much before because I was drinking the tea both days with Belgian waffles topped with cooked diced apples seasoned with cinnamon and brown sugar. That much sweetness likely overwhelmed the licorice root, which wasn’t the strongest I have ever had in a tea.
Overall, an enjoyable one from the advent!
