This is from my 12 Days of Christmas box, which I started ON Christmas Day.
Why? Well I learned that that’s when the 12 days of Christmas actually are (my husband was quite adamant about it since apparently it’s a thing where he is from). Plus, I had the 24 days of Christmas box from David’s Tea, and I liked the idea of doing them both in tandem.
So, today is day 7 of the 12 days. I’m happy so far with all of the varieties included in the box. No tisanes yet! David’s was about half tisanes it felt like, and I gave them away.
Now, one more important thing. I have stopped putting sugar in my teas because I am trying to eat better. But, I still don’t like the straight yet. So I am using Splenda. Yuck, I know. But there you go.
So, on to this tea. It’s not bad! I definitely get pear, but don’t taste the cinnamon. There is a weird aftertaste that I am attributing to the Splenda.

I used to sweeten all of my tea. Then I switched to agave nectar because it tasted sweeter to me (though has a bit of a distinct mapley flavor), and because it was easy to go from adding a few drops to one drop, and now to none. Splenda wasn’t an option for me because I can’t deal with the aftertaste and other fake sweetener gave me headaches. :(
It isn’t is my family, really, the Christmas days thing. Well, it is to the extent that my mother has never taken decorations down until Jan. 6th so that’s what I do as well (they go up on the first sunday in advent if I remember. Yes, even if that falls in November!). Many people seem to find that very late. Some people consider Christmas over as soon as Christmas Eve is out of the way. I suppose some people are just less festively inclined… I shouldn’t like to be one of them myself. :)
