Sipdown! (40 | 106)

Finished off this tagalong from my Nordqvist Moomin tea order a couple of years ago. I really like sea buckthorn flavored things, so this was a no-brainer. I’ve never actually had sea buckthorn (unsurprisingly, it’s not really a thing here), but the flavoring is quite distinct. It reminds me a bit of passion fruit, but with more of an almost stonefruity lean to it? It’s sweet and tangy and… golden. Maybe with a bit of raspberry in there as well. Raspberry passion fruit?

True to form, the sea buckthorn here is lovely. The Assam base isn’t my favorite, it’s a bit tannic and acidic without having any other redeeming qualities. But as long as I don’t steep it too long, still makes a serviceable base for the yummy sea buckthorn.

Flavors: Acidic, Astringent, Bitter, Brisk, Earthy, Fruity, Grassy, Juicy, Passion Fruit, Raspberry, Sea Buckthorn, Stonefruit, Sweet, Tangy, Tannic, Tart, Woody

I had tea bag version of this tea bag and again I was disappointed. Sadly.

The base tea, they claim it’s Assam, okay, was quite bitter and astringent, brews very dark and opaque, not much pleasing.

Taste… well it was as I said bitter and astringent, sea buckthorn notes were there, but too weak unfortunately, little bit acidic from them maybe. But sadly, it wasn’t much to enjoy.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Tea

Even if some of your teas are not good, as a person in the US, I am enjoying the names of the teas and the names of the makers. Nordqvist. Sounds so bold!

White Antlers: This is Finnish company, which produces wonderful Moomin tea bags :) and tea bags in general which are very cute. And as I collect them, among experience from loose leaf, I always enjoy seeing this company.

Oh! Tove Jansson’s Moomins? How delightful! I guess sometimes you trade off decent tea for charming tea bags. lol
