I had this tea again last night as my evening cuppa. I really do like it. This time the licorice flavor was strongly present. It cut through the mint and brought a new dimension to the sip.

Back on December 14, I placed an order at Davids Tea. I ordered 50 grams of Santa’s Secret and a sampler of their Winter Teas. I didn’t expect it in time for Christmas, but I did expect it to be shipped sooner than today. Oh well, It’s not like I don’t have plenty more tea to drink up.

Wanna hear something funny? I mentioned to my brother that I have so much tea I can’t keep track of it all. He said gasp that I should go through it and throw some away!

Same, I placed an order on Dec. 8 – that included holiday gifts – and even though a shipping label was finally printed on Dec. 23, it hasn’t actually shipped since then! Their fulfillment is kind of a mess right now, unfortunately.

Your brother’s reaction is hilarious. I think my partner would be so happy for the kitchen space if I threw some away, but if nothing else I shudder to think of how much money I’d literally be throwing in the garbage.

throw out tea! I don’t remember ever doing that… though I probably should once in a while if they are really old or just not good tea…

Oh my gosh, I went through my tea drawer and sorted through them. I am -eek!- throwing away four old pouches that I’ve had for years and didn’t like. Then I have a small-ish gift bag full of teas I am going to share this weekend at my SCA (historical recreation group) meeting. My drawer has room in it now! Good thing, since I just placed a small order with 52Teas!

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
