This arrived in my mystery grab bag, and I was very excited to try it. Sad to say the strawberry flavor was no where to be seen.

I had a lot of mediocre cups of tea today, and unfortunately this was one of them. Not really a cotton candy flavor. More of a very, very mild strawberry candy. I found it pretty boring.

Advent day 12! I found this to be another odd choice for an advent calendar. There seems to be a lot of fruity greens. This one was fine but not particularly special. Some mild peach and orange blossom, but generally pretty one-note.

This is a newly released tea from Bird and Blend. It’s not on the website quite yet, but i just got it with my subscription. This is a super yummy, tart festive punch. The balance of orange/lime leaves (which I love!) and the cloves/cinnamon are absolutely wonderful. Such a cozy winter tea. I do still prefer Sleigh Ride by DavidsTea as my herbal/fruit punch/holiday blend, but this is a really nice alternative.

Advent day 11! Mmmmmm. I love a vanilla black tea. The base is pretty smooth, and the vanilla flavor was prominent. I absolutely gulped this down this morning.

Advent day 10! I always love trying new variations of tropical blends. Green bases work especially well with tropical flavors for me. This one I wasn’t a huge fan of, though. The fruit notes were a bit too muted for my liking, with the base being a bit too vegetal for the mild flavors.

Advent day 11! The flavor of this tea reminds me of the Sanrio stores I would frequent as a kid. Specifically, the Sanrio gum or candy that was melon flavored. This tea has the exact same flavor. Because of the nostalgia, I loved it! It was definitely a ‘happy green’ for me. Really enjoyed this, but it’s not something I would rush to repurchase.

Advent day 10! I found my thoughts to be generally the same as the first time I tried this. All the ingredients point in the direction of something I’d love, but the flavors are a bit too mellow for my liking.

Advent day 10! I’m not a huge coffee fan, so was happy to discover that this had a pretty muted coffee profile. I definitely picked up on some chocolate and cream notes along with the coffee. Added some oat milk and it rounded everything out nicely.
