Day 7 of the scavenger hunt do-it-yourself tea advent calendar.
I’m not sure what everyone else is so poo-poo about, but I really like this. Maybe I just got a lucky scoop, but I get hardly any licorice taste. Sure, there’s a bit of the sweetness from it, but it’s not overwhelming or something I don’t like. I get a strong chocolate flavour when I’m sipping it, and the after-taste is definitely nutty. I’m not so sure I’d go as far as HAZELNUT nutty, but definitely nutty. I don’t get much of an oolong taste of the tea; I can definitely taste the black tea that is mixed in with it. Even looking at the steeped tea, there isn’t the characteristic rolled-up oolong leaf in the mix. Again, maybe I got a weird scoop from the big container.
Verdict: will definitely re-buy.
