This was my absolute standout favourite from the 2021 Advent Calendar. It was really Christmassy, with a perfect balance of tea, dried fruit and almond.

Flavors: Almond, Dried Fruit, Raisins, Tea

I haven’t quite got the hang of steeping this one yet. How did you make yours?

I only had the two bags from the Advent Calendar, I wish I had bought more of it! I drink most teas with milk so I brewed it reasonably strong. I’ve found out recently that many teas with fruit etc in need a longer steep (probably obvious to others but not to me!) If I wasn’t using milk, I would have added honey, which I find enhances flavours quite well.

I drink mine with milk and honey so I usually brew mine a bit stronger too, but this one tends to come out bitter for me. :/

Shae, this is that rare tea on the list of ‘one teaspoon max’ for me.

I think I remember we talked about this one before! I need to go back and check my notes. To be honest, I’ve been a tiny bit afraid of this one so it’s been a while since I’ve had it.
