Advent swap tea!
This tea seems well received by most who like S&V, but I think it’s just ok. Creamy butter is the main flavor, with a hint of berry. Maybe it’s better with some sweetener? It was an enjoyable cup, but I’d gravitate to the apple blends from S&V instead.

Today’s plum Deluxe is labeled Missing Summer and it’s apple cider adjacent. Is there any black tea in here, because I don’t taste it in either steep. Not a bad cuppa, but not something I need to drink again.

Ceylon dominates this blend, but Keemun shaves off the rough edges. Lemon is in there somewhere but just barely. Its a nice cup, but I prefer more awesome tea in my breakfast blends.

drank Citrus Spice Cake by 52teas

For something named citrus, I expected a lemon or lime or even grapefruit bite. But this is nicely blended gentle orange with cloves and spices. A nice warming cuppa that brewed twice and there is enough left over in the pouch for another cup. Thanks Kelmishka!

Unfussy evening brew for a hectic week. I like that Harney just lets the ginger shine, I shoulda tried to brew this one a few more times, luckily I have another tea bag to try that. Thanks Kelmishka!

Advent tea swap!
This one makes the kitchen smell soooo nice. Apples and cinnamon with a maple and walnut finish. There’s a reason this is a very popular S&V blend!
Thanks Kelmishka!

Advent tea!
Oh, this was a welcome sight in my advent, a straight black tea to get my ass out the door. I would have normally put two tablespoons of this in a cup, but one did the job. I would add this to an order from PD!

This one was Rose Gold Black from Plum Deluxe. I think I drank most of the cup and decided it was too much rose to brew a second time.

This one was Jingle Bells Java Puerh. Very smooth with a bit of a chocolate vibe. Its been a busy week and I don’t remember more lol

This one was just ok. Black tea that was smooth enough with some sort of flavoring? It disappeared from my cup on a busy morning without much to remember it by.

Bio

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
