This is SO GOOD. When I first tried it a few years ago, I referred to it as one of the best EGs I had ever tried, and that still stands. It’s an absolutely delicious cakey flavor, and the bergamot isn’t overwhelming. Just delicious.

Grimoire Countdown- Day 3

This I like. The apple is pretty unnecessary, but the rest of the ingredients mesh really well. Mainly peppermint with a touch of spearmint, and a ton of creamy vanilla goodness.

Also, I love the Grinch.

Not getting cherry, maybe a touch of apple? Mainly just an okay EG.

Love the reference!

GASP. I, a Muppet fanatic, had to look up the reference of the name! Muppet’s Christmas Carol?!?! I guess it has been a while…

Grimoire Countdown- Day 1

As much as I love the name and inspiration, I do not love this tea. Not at all. It has the terrible artificial chocolate flavor so many “chocolate” flavored blends fall victim to. Couldn’t get past 1 sip, so I will refrain from giving it a numerical rating.

12 Teas of Christmas- Day 1

I’m only doing 3 tea countdowns this year. I really need to get my stash under control, and I’m about to go on a trip that’s going to be very tea-filled, so didn’t want to overdo it with the advents. But, I can’t resist the 52Teas countdown.

This is so tasty! Bright, juicy oranges and a touch of sweet/bakery notes. Definitely a high note to start on.

What tea filled destination awaits you? I’m always looking for tea shops when I travel!

Heading to Paris! Really looking forward to it.

Working on sipping through a tin. It’s actually quite good! 1 minute steep time, 1 sugar cube. Pretty tasty vanilla flavor.

Dustin

You must have an old stash of sugar cubes. I can’t find them in stores anywhere since the pandemic. It took out the most random items!

ashmanra

Dustin: Have you ever made sugar cubes? It is sooo easy and fun! I had a silicone mold for little roses and made rose shaped sugar “cubes.” They are for fancy tea parties with little kids that I teach!

Dustin

I have not tried that! With all the things I do make I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t really occurred to me to try to make my own sugar cubes!

amandastory516

I actually found some on Amazon, but making your own sounds much more fun!

This was not good. I’ve been generally unimpressed with the Tea Forte sampler I got.
Had a really strong synthetic caramel flavor that was not tasty at all.

This is a super safe, tasty black tea. Nothing extraordinary, but a nice lingering sweetness and stone fruit/milk chocolate flavor. Not bad, but not something I necessarily need to get again.

Finished off a 15g bag. Still super starchy and delicious, but there is a maple quality that I am not loving don’t remember tasting previously.

This really got better and better as it aged. The smokiness became much more subtle, which allowed the vanilla to really bloom. Really enjoyed it and may purchase again when my stash gets under control.
