Advent Swap tea!
I like that this isn’t too clove heavy, but there’s something at the end I can’t put my finger on. Just doesn’t finish well. Otherwise an enjoyable cuppa.

This is a chocolate croissant in a cup. Bready, buttery, yeasty, chocolate with a hint of vegetal finish. Easy to brew for multiple infusions. I hope there is always some in my cupboard.

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.

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!

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.

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!
