drank Christmas Cookie White Tea by 52teas
1500 tasting notes

Hm. Well, it’s a light tea, in that it’s not heavy, thick or malty. It is however very, very strong on the ginger and clove (this be good with me, to a point). The clove is actually making my mouth a bit dry and losing feeling – also not a bad thing per say, just wasn’t expecting it.

I almost feel like i’m drinking one of those spiced oranges I’d make as a kid (cloves plugged into an orange and then left out for the smell). There’s a touch of orange, maybe? in here, dunno. Something slightly sweet. Cookie? No, sorry.

Thank you shezza for sharing this with me! I’m happy with the one mugful that I got.

Flavors: Clove, Fruity, Ginger

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 5 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

I know what you mean about this one, I kind of get “Christmas” from the cloves and the orange, but there really isn’t any cookie anywhere in here. I always think of it as a chai with a really light base, so I completely forgot about the misleading name.

Eh, I don’t really look at names much, other than… well… if they name it Cookie versus Chai, well, I want cookie. :P I’m always happy with a chai though; I should have waited to swap with you, I have more tea today! lol

We’ll have to do another swap sometime, I still have to wait for all my black friday stuff to come in! (I was not so good this year)

MissB

Woohoo, yes! Just note that usually I’m traveling, so swaps are more me sending tea back from far off lands. :)

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
