The 2nd Tea of Christmas – This was one of my favorites during the blending/curing process because my tea studio smelled AMAZING! While packaging it into the pouches, I craved a cup because it smelled so good. I love the sweetness of the pear combined with the spices. So nice.
Even though this is called a “chai” I went lighter on the spices intentionally because 1 – it’s a green tea & I didn’t want to overwhelm the softer qualities of the green tea base with a heavily spiced note and 2 – Pear is one of the more difficult flavors to work with and I didn’t want to overwhelm the pear. I wanted the pear to be the star in this show.
I am really happy with how this one turned out. I loved it when I first blended it back in 2018 & I think I love it even more now! The pear is deliciously sweet, the spices are gentle yet warming & it’s a very satisfying cup. It’s almost got me convinced that I should finish up the cup & then go get cozy under the covers & spend today as a me day. Unfortunately, I have subscriptions to send out – they’re going out TOMORROW! omg – I … am … almost … caught … up. I don’t want to jinx it but – I also am so incredibly excited to be caught up. I don’t remember what it’s like to be caught up. What will I do with myself if I’m not frantically stressed out about being so behind? I don’t know. I don’t know.
