When we asked Brett & TEAm to help us come up with our beautiful Cardiff store’s very own blend there was a resounding cry for a truly magical Welsh tea. Now, surely the only thing better than a cup of tea, is a cwtch (Welsh for cosy/hug!) and a Welsh cake. This blend’s got all three!
Ingredients: Rooibos, cinnamon, schizandra berries, natural flavouring

This was kind of a last minute addition to my recent Bird and Blend order. I had really only intended to get the new matchas but that part of my brain that likes new and weird things saw the name and was like “Oh, you have no idea what that is so you obviously need to try it” and, well, here we are…
Truthfully, I thought the dry leaf smelled unpleasant. There was almost like a sourness to it that I sometimes get from overly roasted chicory and it turned me off almost immediately. Eventually I steeped up a mug though and I was kind of shocked just how lovely it was. I sort of got the impression this is one of those “right mood” teas where it may not always speak to me, but in the moment I thought the delicate balance of nutmeg forward spices with the subtle addition of cake was very pleasant. It really made me think of North American fruit cake. I have zero idea what a Welsh Cake tastes like, so perhaps that’s a close comparison and perhaps it’s wildly off base. Doesn’t matter though because in the moment it was a tasty cuppa.
Kelmishka Homemade Advent Day 2! Making Welsh cakes is a family Thanksgiving tradition, so I just had some a few days ago. My opinion of this tea hasn’t changed since I last had it three years ago. It’s sort of just a murky rooibos that doesn’t have much in common with the cookies I love so much. I always really want to love this one though!
