Every year for a few years now, I’ve made it a tradition to do a countdown to Christmas with tea. I did a couple of years of 52Teas countdowns, but since I subscribe to 52Teas, I realized that I didn’t need to receive samples of these teas that I’ve already tried. I did a couple of years of Della Terra Teas, and this year I wanted to change it up a little bit so this year, I’m doing the countdown to Christmas with an Advent calendar from Teanzo!
I loved the packaging of the Teanzo Advent Calendar: a festive, bright red box filled with 24 samples of tea. The samples come in foil lined pouches that are coppery colored. They aren’t “secret” the way that the other 12 Days of Christmas samplers that I’ve had in the past are, but that’s OK. While the secret element is a fun, what I enjoy most is being able to enjoy a different tea every day.
Their new “Winter Earl Grey” tea is the first tea of the countdown, and this is an Earl Grey Creme with a festive name. Let me restate: this is a REALLY GOOD Earl Grey Creme with a festive name. Not all Earl Grey Cremes are good – this one is. A bright, strong bergamot, smooth, sweet vanilla tones and a satisfying black tea base.
