Day 7 - DavidsTea Advent calendar

Day 7's tea is Nutty and Spice - a spicy oolong!

From the website:

A festive treat

If there’s one thing that never fails to remind us of the holidays, it’s a freshly baked spice cake. And this warm, buttery oolong is as festive as it gets. First, we start with a jolly jumble of walnuts and pistachios. Then, we add a bright burst of sweet cranberries and pineapple. And finally, we sprinkle in a merry dash of cinnamon to keep you nice and cozy. Whether you have it straight up or with a splash of milk, this is one tea that’ll have you singing “Deck the Halls” in no time. Warning: may induce feelings of holiday cheer.

Ingredients

Oolong tea, roasted chicory root, pineapple (pineapple, suga r), papaya (papaya, sugar), cinnamon, walnuts, ginger, apple, rose pepper, roasted almonds (almonds, caramelized sugar), cardamom, almonds, pistachios, cranberries, rose blossoms, natural and art

Overall Impression: Smells lovely, and I always enjoy oolongs, but this one doesn't really seem to have a flavour other than "sweet". I can't pick out any specific flavours, so I might give this one a miss when I go to buy tea at the store (but I will enjoy it for the caffeine, hah!)
