Eggnog Latte Sipdown…sorta since I am passing on the last serving or so of this (376)
This is a tasty tea and it will be sad to see it go but it is perhaps showing its age just a touch. I have just recently ordered Necessiteas’ Cherry Cola rooibos so perhaps that can be a replacement…we shall see…

Finishing this off with the pineapple/chicken skewers and jalapeño poppers my family and I made to satisfy our hunger brought on by the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives marathon on the Food Network. The food was a let down but this tea is as good as ever with a fair punch of banana flavour that is usually more subtle and the awesome roastiness of the rice. Plus it’s ever so fluffy thanks to the marshmallow so I am pleased and would be heartbroken saying bye if I didn’t have more of this ordered.
I had this about a year ago and recall it being bland and disappointing so I have put off having it again until now. However, today I brewed it much better because there is more to it than just a subpar black tea. It is vanilla, a touch cocoa and then leather. Sounds weird but its nice.

I was going to write a Sororitea Sister review of this tea but honestly I don’t have much to say other than this is floral and dry. Maybe a little malty but mostly I think I steeped potpourri. One orchid might be too much in a tea for my tastes so I really took a risk by drinking a tea that boasts 6.
The tea is described as fruity and herbaceous and that basically hits the nail on the head. Sweet raspberry gives way to sage which gives way to rosemary. Not my choice but could be pleasant for those that like this sort of thing.

Sipdown (385)
With the end of 2017 imminent, I am trying to get through some of my pre-2017 teas that are hanging out in my Sipdown box. This is one of those teas and with just 1 serving left, it was an easy sipdown to say the least.
Today it is more citrus and rum than anything else, which I think is making this an easier goodbye. I enjoyed this tea and even though some cups were better than others, all were tasty.
