Ronde d'Automne

Advent Day 7

Wow! Lots of hazelnut in this! This is the most hazelnutty tea I think I’ve had. The start of the sip is a little confusing, but mid sip the hazelnut flavor comes through loud and clear. I’m getting beet at the back of the sip, which I think is a user error since I just finished off a beet drink ten minutes before having this tea. The description on the bag includes hazel leaves. No clue what those taste like or how they are contributing to this cup. It also says there is some vanilla in here, but it must be merging so much that I can’t pick it out. I do wish that they had chosen to mix another flavor in here to make it more complex, like a fruit or something else that pairs well with it. It’s good as is and I’d drink it again, but wouldn’t put it on my shopping list.

ALSO…. How are we already a week into December?! I’m not ready!

Compagnie & Co Advent Calendar 2023 – Day 2

I considered picking up some of this tea when I ordered my advent, but decided to avoid buying teas that were also in the advent. It’s a hazelnut and vanilla black tea.

I will say, I think I’m glad I didn’t spring for 100g. It’s a tasty enough tea, it just lacks oomph. Plus I don’t really pick up on much of the vanilla, mostly it’s a mellow hazelnut black tea. The tea itself has woody notes which I think goes very well with the hazelnut flavor. Still, would’ve liked to taste some of the vanilla or even some cream.
