From THEODOR

Tea time is the perfect moment to sit down all together and to enjoy a delicious beverage, and Christmas season is gladly shared with family or with your loved ones. This ‘Japonic’ Christmas green tea, just like all the creations composing this unique collection, reveals the combination of atypical notes, imbued with lightness.

To compose this exquisite blend, the creator selected a green tea base, adding some verbena here and a few juniper berries there, giving it a pretty color with green shading.

After brewing this tea, enjoy this sweet vegetal perfume, accompanied by a spicy hint escaping from your cup. In your mouth, this Glutton Boy ‘Laponic’ green tea is presented on a cool note, before expressing flavors of red fruits and especially redcurrants. The juniper berry adds a small spicy touch that you will like in background note.

Between surprise and lightness, this verbena/redcurrant/juniper berry flavored Christmas green tea with satisfy your taste buds for a cup to be enjoyed at any time of the day.

Green tea (Origin: China) (71%), Verbena (8%), Juniper Berries (8%), Flavors (Red currant, Pine tree, Geranium), Pine buds (5%), Heather flowers.

Thanks to kind Steepsters, I get to try all but the rooibos Laponic teas.

The red currant and juniper berry both brighten and meld with a savory-piney-earthy base taste. Both times I brewed this it did taste somewhat soapy-alkaline. I suspect I could use 1tsp versus 2 to mitigate that flavor. Otherwise, it’s a masterfully flavored green tea that truly makes me think of Christmas and northern coniferous forest covered in snow.

Thanks for sharing Dustin! The Laponic black is on board for Wednesday when the heavy rains come.

Side note: I bought a skateboard today. I’m overjoyed.

Hah, skateboards never been my thing and I think they weren’t that popular here. But what is a thing is those different, smaller boards, I think it’s called Pennyboard? Never had any of them though. And probably never get any.

The flavour sounds soo… great as usual.

You’ll shoot your eye out. :) Be careful.

First a skateboard, then a OneWheel. Fun has no age limitations. : )

Courtney

Skateboards are so fun! We took up longboarding when we lived on the coast just a couple years ago and it was awesome!

Leafhopper

Skateboarding sounds like the perfect sport to take up these days: lots of time outside and minimal contact with people. :)

Dustin

Skateboarding used to be my main form of transportation and I kinda miss it. I was the only girl in my high school who skated although there were some girls who carried boards to catch the interest of the skater boys.
What kind of board did you get?

derk

In my late teens I had a board but never really rode it because the wheels were too hard for the road and where I lived had no sidewalks or bike lanes. I practiced tricks in parking lots, that’s it. The guy at the skate shop first suggested a longboard but I’m not so interested in cruising as wanting to start dropping bowls and ramps this spring at the skate park. I can still ollie and nollie 20 years later, surprisingly.

gmathis: Don’t worry, I’ll be sporting all the pads and a helmet until I get my feet back.

Dustin

Sadly, I never learned to ollie and not for lack of trying. I used to wake up super early so I could hit the skatepark with friends before the guard got there and enforced the helmet rule. I could drop into the bowls, but never learned the motion to get out. I should probably get a longboard. LOL!

tea-sipper

derk! be careful. hah

Dustin, maybe you’ll love a longboard? Maybe tiny roommates will love a longboard? I was cruising through the neighborhood the other evening and a munchkin on a scooter yelled out “I have a skateboard!” as I passed. Of course I had to turn around to talk to him and his even tinier munchkin sidekick on an even tinier scooter.

I’ve been holding onto this share from Dustin. Such an interesting blend- this cup is more herbal than the last.

A couple of my advent teas for the day need to be cold steeped, so I found myself tealess and I randomly craving this tea. Sometimes I get a tea craving based on the memory of a flavor I’ve had in tea, but can’t latch onto it enough to figure out which tea I was recalling. It’s kind of frustrating. My normal preference is towards dessert type teas, so it’s a little unusual that I long for something more savory. Maybe it’s because I’ve been overdoing it with holiday treats? This makes me think of a walk I took on a trip last year around this time. We went to New Mexico and went on a hike through the snow among the junipers. I picked some berries (which are featured in this tea) and the whole car was filled with the scent. There were also some pines (also in this tea) and I was trying to forage for pine nuts… unsuccessfully. Ended up buying some pine nuts from a vendor and discovered how big a pain it is to crack those things for the tiniest bit of nutty reward. Makes more sense why the prices are so high for shelled pine nuts. That walk was freezing and half our party had to abort the walk because a tiny roommate was exhausted and needed a nap in the car. I’m glad I can experience scent memories of the cold with a warming cup in my hand in the comfort of my heated home.

Where in New Mexico was this? Sounds like a magical trip!

Dustin

In Santa Fe. We were at the National forest trailhead, Atalaya Mtn. There were icicles, bunny tracks in the snow and the sensation of snow crunching under your feet, which isn’t something I’ve gotten to experience much! I’d love to go back, but I’d have to figure out a way around the altitude sickness.

AJRimmer

That sounds so nice! (minus the altitude sickness) I definitely need to get up to Santa Fe one day and check it out!
