On the first day of Christmas … Della Terra Teas sent me this tea!
This is really tasty. I brews up really light in color, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t be very flavorful, but, I guess it just goes to show you that you shouldn’t use color as a determining factor on whether a tea is finished brewing or on whether a tea is going to be flavorful.
The pear is nicely done. Sweet. The spices are gentle, and the black tea, while it is a softer flavor than a typical black tea (even a typical flavored black tea), I am finding it to be just right for this blend. A stronger tea would have overwhelmed the pear. As it is, there’s a really nice balance.

LiberTeas your reviews last year inspired me to get this 12 days this year and I am glad I did! I love this tea, I wish DT would sell it on its own since I’m always on the hunt for good pear teas. I’ve been using this one in combination with 52teas 12 days sampler as an advent calendar since the beginning of December!
That’s a cool idea (advent calendar) … contact DTT because I think that if you bought the box, that they might sell the tea to you. I think that the exclusive teas in the sampler are available to those that have purchased the box. At least that’s what I was lead to understand last year. That could have changed, but I’d contact them.
Yes I have been alternating each day! I have been enjoying DTT’s the most but that’s more because I’ve had most of the really standout blends in 52teas before.
