In an effort to try and embrace Christmas (I just don’t feel Christmassy this year), I drank two cups of Bluebird’s Christmas Cake over the weekend. It came as a sample with my last order, and I kept it so that it wouldn’t be late summer when I was drinking it! I have to say, I really enjoyed it. It’s one of those novelty teas that’s so appropriate at Christmas, with its snowflake candies, iridescent glitter, and SPRUCE NEEDLES. I mean, how much more christmassy can you get? This is tea which contains ACTUAL CHRISTMAS TREE.
As if appearance alone wasn’t enough, it’s pretty good to taste, too. I tried this one the year before last, but this year’s version seems stronger on the vanilla than I remember. It’s deliciously sweet and creamy, with strong, rich, fruit cake notes underlying. There’s a lot of raisin, a touch of orange, a hint of spice. It really conjures up Christmas cake for me! I have a sample from last year lying around somewhere, so I’ll have to dig that out when I get home. This one was a real mood booster for me.
sounds tasty!
Interesting!
