Provence d’Antan Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 3
Okay, now we’re talking! This is the first tea from Provence d’Antan that I’ve enjoyed.
It’s a black tea with hibiscus and blackcurrant, raspberry, and blackberry flavors. I don’t really taste the hibiscus, nor did it seem to affect the color. This ends up tasting rather woodsy somehow, like a fruits of the forest sort of idea. I’m not sure where that woodsy character is coming from, given the ingredients, but I’m not complaining. The syrupy-sweet blackcurrant is definitely the strongest berry to me, and then the raspberry and blackberry sort of meld together into a nice tart accent. Then the black tea is slightly musty which I actually like here, and otherwise smooth with a bit of an earthy-woody flavor. The combination is giving me wintry forest and dark berry vibes. I think it’s the blackcurrant that’s making it wintry for me?
Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed this cup. This tea, once again, isn’t listed individually on their website, but seems somewhat similar to another tea. I’m not sure I would go out of my way to order it, since I do have other woodsy-berry sort of teas I enjoy.
