Thésaurus Tea Fandom Advent Calendar 2023 – Day 25
Happy Holidays, tea people! I hope everyone is warm and happy and enjoying a bit of time off work.
I wouldn’t normally have a green tea this early in the day, but I wanted to get this last advent tea done before I inevitably forgot about it. XD
This has fruit pieces and other stuff in it, but mostly I just get the peppermint and the lemongrass with a bit of green tea underneath. A bit of an overly herbaceous peppermint as well, without much of that fresh minty finish. Definitely a disappointing end to this advent.
And speaking of this advent… It was quite hit-or-miss for me. There were a few ingredients that were very prevalent, like butterfly pea flower and fennel. Which isn’t the end of the world, it just speaks to a lack of variety. There were some blends I really liked, but also a lot that were quite meh. However, my biggest gripe with this advent is the portion size. Such a tiny amount of tea, enough for only about a 6-ounce cup in my experience, which is even less than the two sachet advents I had. It just seemed super stingy to me, especially when a lot of the butterfly pea flower blends seemed like they were 70% butterfly pea in the package. I understand the price point was very good, but I would rather pay a bit more and have a reasonable amount of tea per day. I would consider doing the holiday version of this advent, but I don’t think I will because of the tea volume issue. That being said, I probably will end up ordering some teas because there were several that I really liked.
Flavors: Earthy, Grassy, Herbaceous, Lemongrass, Mint, Musty, Peppermint

Happy Holidays!
Oh yeah, since I use three teaspoons for a serving of tea, whenever companies provide tiny samples, I always have to do annoying math to figure out how much water/how small of a mug to use :P
I usually use about a tablespoon for a 16-ounce serving as well.
