#mugtober
Theme for this day was black tea/black cats. I captured the black cat part with my mug pick, so plan was to just pick a more Halloween themed black tea blend. I was actually going to do a different fandom blend from Adagio but my tin of it is in a shelf behind a bunch of stuff I couldn’t be assed enough to move out of the way, so I settled on this one instead.
I added some cashew milk because I thought the cream might mix with the chocolate and cherry and make for a sort of “Black Forest Cake” profile, but instead it masked most of the cherry and made for a cup that was kind of just like drinking milk chocolate with a subtle nutty undertone. Fine enough, but I was a little sad about the missing cherry notes and I mostly ended up drinking the mug after it was cold because I didn’t feel super pulled to the hot profile.
