Advent Calendar Day 11

I was excited to see a pear-flavored tea today, as there don’t seem to be too many of those out there and I’ve really enjoyed some of the ones I’ve found (e.g. Trader Joe’s White Ginger Pear and The London Tea Room’s Mango Pear White). Interestingly, even though it isn’t listed in the ingredients list, the main thing I’m tasting in this tea is walnut! This is another one that I don’t know how to rate. It actually has a very pleasant smooth, nutty flavor that mingles well with the hay-like notes of the white tea and if the blend were called “toasted walnut” or something, I’d probably give it a high rating. But it’s apparently supposed to be a caramel pear tea and I don’t taste either of those flavors. So not going to rate this, but glad I got to try it!

Flavors: Hay, Nutty, Smooth, Walnut

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

I really like Harney’s Heirloom Bartlett Pear. :D

The name of this one is awesome!

Sadly no Steepsterers bought the Brutaliteas advent this year? Or maybe they didn’t have it…

@Cameron…that one is on my wishlist! Thanks for the recommendation.

@Courtney…I agree, the name is so clever. :)

@tea-sipper…I haven’t seen anyone posting about their advent calendar either. Pretty sure this was the first tea I’ve tried from this company, so I definitely didn’t order it. But if all their names are this great, I can see how it would make for a fun experience!

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
