Adventageddon Day 20 – Tea 2/4
Cold Brew!
Y’know, a festively named dragonfruit tea was not on my Adventageddon bingo card this year but I love the idea of it! Plus, the cheerful and lightly sweet tropical flavour really does pop against some of the more traditional or decadent flavours that are so prevalent in these countdowns. And the blush pink colour it brewed up was so dreamy looking.
It’s honestly a pretty mild flavour, but that tracks for something with a dragonfruit inspiration. I feel like a lot of “commercial” dragonfruit flavoured teas are more fruit punch like in taste, but real dragonfruit is very light and floral. That comes across here, even though there’s still some gentle but generic tropical vibes happening. A little kiwi, a little red fruit, and just a bit of the lemongrass. It’s a very “base forward” blend too – I taste the white and green teas as much as any of the other flavours I’ve listed.
I think it’s a super cool inclusion in an advent since it’s so wildly different from anything else that’s appeared, but I don’t know if I’d personally want more of it. I definitely have dragonfruit teas I prefer to this one, even though it’s definitely got many nice qualities.
