Shae Advent Day 1

I love this advent calendar! Shae wrapped each tea like a little present, so it feels like it’s Christmas morning already! I’m a big EG fan, so I was excited to try this tea! The black tea isn’t very bold at all, but the bergamot is nice and strong. I don’t get too much creaminess hot, but I put the rest of the cup in the fridge, and a lot more creaminess comes out cold. This isn’t one of the best EGs I’ve had, but it’s a pretty good cup of tea! I added milk, sugar, and vanilla, and it’s quite creamy when enjoyed cold!

It was too creamy for me last year. And as I drink teas plain, it was rough to me. Maybe adding milk and a bit of sugar can do the trick!

I know bergamot can be a love it or hate it sort of thing, so I’m glad you enjoy EGs too. Earl Grey is one of my all-time favorites!

@Martin – I add honey and cream to mine, not sure I’d enjoy this one plain either.

Yeah this one really shined cold with milk and sugar – I love creamy teas, so that was fun!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, D&D, hiking, travel, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender or chamomile), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
