Advent Calendar from Kaylee: Day 8
Last night I had “Chamomile Fields” from Dunkin Donuts! I had no idea Dunkin had its own proprietary blends. Funny. I grew up in Rhode Island, where there’s a Dunkin on every corner and people are OBSESSED with them. Truly obsessed. But I think their coffee is terrible, and they don’t have vegan doughnuts, so it’s been a while since I’ve visited one! (Saying that, though, the Dunkins in Europe have a bunch of vegan options! I had a strawberry glazed one in Germany and it brought me right back to childhood.)
Anyway, I didn’t get much more than chamomile in this one despite it including orange peel, lemongrass, licorice root, and cornflower. A promising blend! Buttttt I realized this morning that I’ve brewed my most recent few tea bags in a very tall and narrow mug, and I’m wondering if that vessel shape just isn’t conducive to well-brewed tea. So I might not have done the last few tea bags justice. :(

It’s crazy they don’t have vegan options where you are! I thought everywhere had at least a couple options now.
It’s so weird — chain restaurants tend to introduce vegan options in the UK and EU waaay before the US (if ever)!
I didn’t realise it wasn’t universal! That’s pretty sad.
Yeah honestly half the reason I included this one was the novelty of it. I was in college before I realized that America does not, in fact, run on Dunkin, and that it’s basically a regional chain. It’s just so enmeshed here. And I do personally prefer their coffee to Starbucks, for both flavor and value. But when I saw these tea sachets, I couldn’t resist buying them because it felt so much like the last place I’d expect to be selling their own branded tea.
Kaylee, I love the novelty factor! As for the coffee, I realized I haven’t actually tried it in probably a decade… maybe it’s time to give it another shot. :D
