Day 20 Davids Tea Advent Calendar

I loved how this smelled when I opened the tin. The spices were so fragrant and lovely. I do wonder if I should have steeped this longer as my cup just seems rather weak. Or perhaps it is the hibiscus that is off putting. There’s cinnamon and apple and a nutty flavor with this mug that I definitely enjoy.

It certainly smells like s’mores while steeping. The flavor it light but it does give off a s’mores taste. Definitely sweet with marshmallow and the hazelnut reminds me of graham crackers. Other’s noted that there’s a spiciness to it but I don’t sense that at all.

Day 6 DAVIDs Tea Advent Calendar 2023
My first suprise was the muddy color after steeping. I thought someone had added milk to my tea while I was out of the room. This is a very sugary blend! Not as minty as I expected but sure does remind me of a candy cane crushed topping. I enjoyed this tea. Not sure I would purchase gain but definitely would drink again.

Day 15 DAVIDs Tea Advent Calendar 2023

When I opened this one I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. Turns out my nose deceived me and the blend is lovely. There is a marshmallow/vanilla creaminess that I enjoy. Wish this was a year round flavor. I would definitely serve this to guests. Sadly it’s no longer listed on the website, so I guess I’ll hope for it to come back next holiday season

This is not for me. I find if weird and honestly don’t want to finish the mug. Very sweet and reminds me of Hot Tang. And yes, Hot Tang is a drink I’ve had the pleasure of while on camping trips. But this is not what I’m looking for in a mug of tea.

Day 8 DAVIDs Tea Advent Calendar 2023

Ohhhh I needed something like this today. I hope I sleep after this and some yoga. May this help me through the night, help to minimize my plight. The peppermint, lemongrass, and chamomile blend well together. It smells really good and leaves a fresh feeling on my tongue.

Happy New Year!
Starting off the day with a mug of Festive Spice. This year my Christmas stocking was filled with tea instead of candy. Not a bad thing at all in my opinion.
This is not a bad black tea. It does seem to have some astringency to it and I would probably add a bit of sweetener or milk to it in the future. The pepper is a nice zing to it but I don’t taste any of the other spices involved.

Day 7 DAVIDs Tea Advent Calendar 2023

Obviously, I’m a bit off with my Advent Calendar. BUT this means I have teas to sample starting into the new year.

I loved the scent from this one prior to steeping. I’m glad I read the container because I didn’t realize it was a green. Steeped at 175 for 3ish minutes. All I smell is cloves. All I taste is cinnamon. I was hoping for a bit more orangeness. I also felt it left a strange aftertaste. Not bad and I would drink it again.

Day 16 DAVIDs Tea Advent Calendar 2023

After an evening of gift wrapping and a chilly dog walk, it was nice to sit with a mug near the lights of the Christmas tree and listening to music. I steeped for about 3 minutes. Reading the ingredient list, I was pretty sure this one wasn’t going to be a hit. I found it to be tart, sour and hibiscus heavy. I had hoped something a bit lighter as a white tea. It was enjoyable enough but I probably wouldn’t pick it out for myself again.

Day 14 DAVIDs Tea Advent Calendar

Baked good teas can be hit or miss but this is for sure a hit! This is so fun, delicious, and sweet. A fantastic dessert tea. I definitely would get this again.
