Advent Swap tea!
This one was Organic Peach White Tea from Serendipitea. It was nicely peach without being bitter. A welcome change from all the heavily spiced teas of the fall/winter season! Thanks!

Advent tea!
The first steep was creamy and the second steep was caramel. Not a bad tea, but not eggnog with nutmeg either.

Flavors: Caramel, Cream

Advent swap!
This is warm cozy baked goods wrapped in caramel with a walnut finish. What a nice evening treat and I will add this to my next S&V order. Thanks Kelmishka!

Glad you enjoyed this one — it’s a great nighttime bevvy!

I am doing the Plum Deluxe caffeine advent again this year. Day 1 was bergamot and it was ok, day 2 was jasmine and I didn’t finish the cup. Here is day three and it’s caramel and clove with a hint of smoke. A nicely balanced cup that disappeared quickly. I would consider adding this to an order, just because it’s not too clove heavy.

Sounds like an interesting combination!

Advent swap! I over leafed this like I do most morning teas, and while it’s very smooth, and has some tobacco notes underneath, it’s not that complex. Good for a morning wake up cuppa! Thanks Kelmishka :)

Reminds me of a mineral Assam, but with a lingering malty, yeasty sweetness. Super smooth and just slightly astringent as it cools. Strangely the plum note emerges as it cools as well.

This is the second steep of a pot I started yesterday. The first steep was nice, bready and slightly sweet. This second steep is much sweeter, butterscotch and still very smooth. Is there black tea in here? Tastes more like a honey buttered biscuit. I’ll try a third steep and would jump at a chance to buy more of this!

Oh no! I’ve started my advent early. But it’s only because Tuesday is a travel day and I’ll miss it. This is nicely vanilla and smooth; and brewed twice from a tea bag. A good way to start the day and kick off advent season. Thanks Kelmiska!

I bought myself a sticker advent and started that early because I wanted to see all the stickers before holiday travel. It only feels a little wrong!

This one brews well for three steeps, has distinct and interesting notes and disappears from my cup far too fast. There is a salty, mineral note along with a smooth dark chocolate note and the finish is smooth enough for my dad’s palette. I will need more of this gem from WP!

Just ok, not too smoky, not too smooth. A decent example of smoked tea, but I don’t need more of this.

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
