I’m loving this tea. I feel like the Organic Huangshan Mao Feng and the eggnog flavor work really well together. They work with each other and neither really overshadows the other. Originally, I had designed this blend to have rum, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and was going to add a lot to it but after trying just the base and our flavoring mixture it seemed perfect and I didn’t want to change anything. This tea might not look so fancy but to me it’s perfect. From sip to sip, I get slightly different tastes. The vegetal notes are still present but the buttery quality of the tea really adds to eggnog. The eggnog is sweet and tastes of heavy cream with an eggy quality. Some sips, I almost get a cake batter flavor. When I add a little brown crystal sugar, the tea is really creamy, rich, and very much like eggnog. Some vanilla notes become a little more pronounced and so do the egg notes and it really is so delicious that I must get every drop out of the cup. One guilty admission, I added safflower because I thought the red safflower with the green tea leaves was a little more Christmas-y.

Yay, glad you guys are excited! By the way this is the first of our holiday blends series! This one represents Christmas. Still have Hanukkah, Kwanza, Yule, and Diwali (even though that holiday is over) to go!
I pretty much hate egg nog but coming from you I’d be tempted….good thing I can probably steal a sample rom kittena lol
Do I like cake batter…. So doesn’t! Lol half the fun of baking is eating the raw batter and dough…just don’t tell my mother lol
I’ve said good things about Bigelow’s bagged eggnog elsewhere, but this sounds great, too. You used the magic words…cake batter!
I can’t wait to get mine!
So excited!

Sil-Do you like cake batter at all? If so, then this might work for you.
Sounds so good!

Well then, you might like it. A sample would probably be the way to go for that one.
Thanks Bonnie! :)
