2024 Advent Calendar #21

Probably should have used this one on the Advent Date as germs were flying around at work and home but it was another missed sip. As it’s now allergy season, perhaps this will help me today.

As I pulled the sachet from the wrapper, immediately I could smell the ginger and echinacea. After steeping for 15 minutes, my breakfast was done and I was ready to sit and sip. The elderberries are there but the ginger and echinacea are stronger. I also do taste the cloves. It’s milder than the Traditional Medicines teas I keep in my “medicine tea” box but definitely helping the congestion I’m feeling. Not a bad sip but not a pleasure sip, this one means cold fighting business.

Flavors: Ginger, Herbal, Medicinal

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more

Bio

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
