Advent tea
This one is nicely nutty and spicy, with an underlying hint of chocolate and cinnamon. There’s a lot going on here, but it blends nicely. I woke up wanting a cup of coffee this morning, but this tea hit the spot. A nice thick and warming cuppa.

Flavors: Chili, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Nutty

A work friend made me a “tea tree” by hot gluing tea bags to a paper cone and sticking a ribbon on top. Holiday Tea is at the top of the tree, and now I’m looking forward to trying it, but I’m still waffling—love it and look at it, or drink it? (Ashmanra suggested trying to slice the bags open carefully, but I’m afraid I will mangle it!)

Which part of the tea bags were glued? The outer or inner pack?

gmathis

Outer, so I might be able to slit and slip them out. (It’s not like I couldn’t find an equivalent number of bags from my own stash and replace/re-glue next season ;)

This one is worth drinking, you won’t regret dismantling your tree!

I left it on my desk so I would have something to look forward to when we get back from the holidays!

Bio

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
