Adventageddon Day 6
Not gonna sugar coat it – this one was rough. Ginseng is such an intensely strong and polarizing flavour, and I don’t even mind it usually either as part of a ginseng oolong or in different blends. However, straight ginseng was A LOT. It was so, so incredibly and uncomfortably sweet. I actually ended up adding in an orange and ginger flavoured honey which, of course, didn’t do much for how cloying the brew was but at least introducing other flavours helped break up the medicinal and woody notes that accompanied the mouth coating sweetness.
