Backlogging Thursday 7/1:
Had this at a restaurant with breakfast this morning. It was the only non-herbal tea they had. I have had this kind before. It’s pretty much your standard green tea. I enjoyed it.
I came across this quite by luck. I normally stay away from bagged tea unless that’s my only choice for tea. I saw this in my local airport while waiting for my fight and really wanted tea. I got a cup of hot water from the flight attendent and steeped it for 5 min. No milk (I just didn’t want to make a mess in flight), no sweetener. It was really good! I won’t buy it otherwise, but I will definitely look for it next time I’m in an airport and want chai.
Can’t believe this is my first cup of Eggnogg’n for the season, but it is appropriate, as I am contentedly parked in my armchair back in my hobbit hole after an afternoon of Battling Five Armies with my guys. Have you seen it yet?
Green/black combos are sometimes a little tricky to steep, but this one does just fine with water just off the boil and a shorter steep time. Lovely cinnamon-nutmeggy goodness. A fitting bag for tea at Bag End.
Merry Christmas, friends. May Joy find you, wherever you are.
Storm looming; seasonal grinchies kicking in about a month early—-NEED THIS!
Oversteeped and the green tea in here is pouting a little, but the eggnoggity goodness is still there.
Ok, I LOVE Creamy Eggnog from Butikit, but just say I am out and Jonesin
for some eggnog tea…is this a good “stand in” in an emergency?
I haven’t tried the Butiki, but I will venture that it’s a plausible substitute. Nice with milk, but sweet and cinna-vanilly on its own; relatively easy to hunt down at chain groceries; inexpensive.
Used to be I’d have to drive clear across the state (or at least a good way out of town) to find this fun and frolicky holiday-season-only tea. Couple of places have it locally now and I’m tickled to death.
There are other vanilla/cinnamon teas that may come kinda-sorta close to this one (thinking about Trader Joe’s with the little lemur on the box) but this is my absolute favorite when it comes to accurately catching the egg-sence of eggnog.
Straight up at my desk, but infinitely better with a dollop of evaporated milk.
Another local-store serendipity; this is rarely in stock here!
If you did a side-by side taste test with real bona fide eggnog, I don’t think they’d be very close. Truthfully, this reminds me more of iced sugar cookies. (And what’s wrong with that?) Sweet, pleasant, just a hint of spice, great with milk; and before you know it, there I am staring at an empty tumbler and wishing I’d brought another bag with me.
