Advent tea swap! This is Traditional Lapsang Souchon from Tealyra. What a nice change of pace from flavored teas. I enjoyed this nicely smoky tea that was very smooth and not at all astringent. Thanks Kelmishka!!

Advent tea swap!
I used too hot of water for the first steep and only got a hint of coconut and banana. The second steep is a very nice genmaicha with a slight banana finish. A nice cuppa.

Advent tea!
This one is a boring cinnamon orange tea with not enough of either to overpower or make it an interesting cup. Good enough for a breakfast brew on a cold day, but not something I need in my cupboard.

Advent Swap tea!
I like that this isn’t too clove heavy, but there’s something at the end I can’t put my finger on. Just doesn’t finish well. Otherwise an enjoyable cuppa.

This is a chocolate croissant in a cup. Bready, buttery, yeasty, chocolate with a hint of vegetal finish. Easy to brew for multiple infusions. I hope there is always some in my cupboard.

Advent Swap tea!
This one was Organic Peach White Tea from Serendipitea. It was nicely peach without being bitter. A welcome change from all the heavily spiced teas of the fall/winter season! Thanks!

Advent tea!
The first steep was creamy and the second steep was caramel. Not a bad tea, but not eggnog with nutmeg either.

Advent swap!
This is warm cozy baked goods wrapped in caramel with a walnut finish. What a nice evening treat and I will add this to my next S&V order. Thanks Kelmishka!

I am doing the Plum Deluxe caffeine advent again this year. Day 1 was bergamot and it was ok, day 2 was jasmine and I didn’t finish the cup. Here is day three and it’s caramel and clove with a hint of smoke. A nicely balanced cup that disappeared quickly. I would consider adding this to an order, just because it’s not too clove heavy.

Advent swap! I over leafed this like I do most morning teas, and while it’s very smooth, and has some tobacco notes underneath, it’s not that complex. Good for a morning wake up cuppa! Thanks Kelmishka :)
