This is so different but darn tasty!
It has both black tea as well as pu-erh notes to it (enough tho I don’t see pu-erh in the actual ingredient list). It has lovely creamy-vanilla notes but also various spices. The spices aren’t overly spicy tho. There are beautiful orange highlights as well as perfumy floral touches thru-out the sip. It’s also reminiscent of egg nog at times, too!

Super creative!
I like this more than I anticipated.

Here’s another one from ozli. It was pretty essential to try today due to the eggnog smell.

This is pretty great. It’s slightly creamy, with lots of vanilla notes, and eggnog spices rolling around in each sip. It makes me think of what I imagine warmed eggnog would taste like. I think it might even be better than my DTT Winter Nog, but that’s rooibos so not really comparable.

Sipdown!

Goodbye Winter Wonderland! Maybe I’ll see you next year! That and your creamy spicy vanilla goodness…. Mmmm

When dry, it smells exactly like egg nog! Then mostly cloves/black tea after steeping. Sadness. Yummy though; I like it with a bit of sugar.

I think this is my favourite winter/xmas tea blend. I just love the soft noggy smell (way more than actual egg nog)..

Haven’t logged much tea lately because I haven’t HAD much tea lately! Has been all Timmy’s coffee and colas and gingerbread spice lattes from Starbux :P but I’m enjoying a well-earned break right now. New beds tomorrow means moving all the beds and cleaning everything TODAY. Sigh.

Oh hey, this tea has a really nice egg noggy aftertaste, too. :D

Last bit of Winter Wonderland! .___.
