Tea Advent Calendar - Day 24 - Genussmomente (Moments of Pleasure)


This tea has rooibos, date, cranberry, ginger, natural aroma, fig, peppermint, bourbon vanilla, and mango.

It also has rice flour and vegetable oil from the dried fruit.


It doesn't taste like much of anything. I can smell the mango and feel the cool of the peppermint, but that's about it.
It's like a watered down rooibos.

Tea Advent Calendar - Day 5 - Fruchtparadies Natürlich (Fruit Paradise Natural)

I dumped it in the tea pot before I took a photo... D'oh!

This tea has apple, hibiscus, pineapple, elderberry, mango, papaya, natural aroma, peach, orange pieces, orange peel, lemon pieces, fig, and bergamot. 

Note it also has some added sugar and some rice flour because of the dried fruit.


A nice rich red colour.

The smell immediately reminds me of a herbal tea I had when I was little. 



They don't make this any more.

It tastes like diluted, less sweet cordial, but it is very nice.
When it cools down it tastes stronger, this may be a good ice tea.

I don't know if the person who formulated this has ever encountered a fig before.
This smells like coconut.


COCONUT!

Not fig, it isn't even fruity.
It is a good summer scent (coconut is known for this).

But all it needs is a sharpie to fix it:
