ADVENT DAY 24, tea 1/3
If you feel that I have missed one tea from day 23, you’re absolutely correct. I didn’t drank it yet, in the time I am writing this note. And as I wanted to use my new tea pot… and enjoy a tea I can share, decided to skip that tea and prepare this one.
It has been phenomenal and there were just loads of flavour and complexity. Honey, spices, baked fruits, malt, brown sugar, you name it. Just a lot and not clashing each other at all… and the cups were great for sniffing and drinking.
Incredlibly smooth and mouth coating, with long and long mouthfeel and aftertaste; definitely, worth more steeps than this single one, but alas, I didn’t had time. But yes, it will appear in my next order at the Siam Tee Shop; once I finish lots of other black teas I have.
My father, who enjoyed this tea with me, said it is great tea and liked it very much and always asked for more once he has finished his cup. That’s something very uncommon from him. And I guess, it is a proof of very good tea.

Beautiful new teaware! Happy Holidays!
Nice pot! Happy holidays:)
Happy holidays! Glad you’re enjoying that tea in your new pot! It sounds like Siam Tea does a decent advent calendar.
Leafhopper: Definitely there were teas that are very good. And I am glad I had this advent calendar to try new to me teas. Naturally, there were a few duds, or I just didn’t had enough time to enjoy them as they deserve; but overall it was very nice. Just finding a correct pouch in the box was a little tricky and it wasn’t festive packed at all :)
I think there will always be a few duds in these things, either because the teas are objectively bad or because they’re just things the drinker doesn’t like. I want to try an unflavoured advent calendar eventually, preferably one that has a lot of Chinese and Taiwanese hongcha and oolongs as opposed to Japanese greens or a lot of Indian/Nepali teas (though the ones you described sounded good, so maybe that will change). I wish there were more calendars like this. The one from Nannuoshan looks promising, so maybe next year!
Here are a few flvoured too; or… actually rather “just” scented. In worst scenario you can just skip them.
But yes, I think there are a few duds only because it is not my jam. And I think, but not sure, that there were several opinions of their advents. But maybe it was in the past… or some other vendor.
I think I have found a few teas I would like to try again and thanks to wishlist here on Steepster I have a note; so I just need to reduce the total qty first. And then maybe, one or two orders will be placed.
