Cup at home, made from a sachet included in the tea company's Advent Tea Calendar (2020) and containing a mixture of black tea leaves and pieces of cinnamon, apples, liquorice, orange peel, rosehip, and vanilla - all of them organic and sprinkled with flavouring. Pours clear copper brown (against white china) with no sediment. Intense aroma of apples, cinnamon and orange, with touches of black tea and liquorice. Bitter, leafy, and spicy flavour of black tea and cinnamon, with sweetish touches of apple, vanilla, and liquorice. Mildly astringent palate with an aftertaste of black tea and cinnamon and touches of vanilla, as well as hints of orange peel. A nice one, although I had expected the orange and liquorice to be more pronounced. Not an unreasonable price, given the context (ca. 5 DKK per 1 sachet in the collection). Thank you, Anni, for this gem!
