Made this as an eggnog latte and though my first few sips were good, on the whole this is pretty thin.

I can sort of get gummies from this but why so much cinnamon? The hibiscus and star anise balance each other to create a gummy flavor but then there’s just a whole lot of cinnamon spice coating the tongue and it just doesn’t belong.

When I started drinking this I got smoke. No idea where it was coming from but there it was. That has since subsided leaving room for the vegetal base, toasty rice, and just a hint of marshmallow. The usual flavor I get from this tea seems to be missing today but it’s still nice.

I can’t seem to coax out the flavors here. I’ve been trying but no such luck. It’s good but I don’t really get mango here.

Second festive eggnog latte of the day and it’s the first time in a while the flavor of the tea is really shining. Creamy vanilla mint. Oh-so-good. Perhaps it’s because this is a sipdown and all the good bits fell to the bottom? Now I want more but I have so many other similar teas that I probably won’t act on that until at least next year.

This smelled amazing but sipping on it now, I am mostly getting eggy Honeybush with a dash of nutmeg. I can see where this was going but the execution fell short for me.

Happy Holidays everyone! Since the first night of Hanukkah has fallen on Christmas Eve this year, I decided what better way to celebrate than with a Hanukkah tea as an eggnog latte. This was a pretty awesome plan since the caramel and marshmallow flavors are really shining in this mug. Super sweet and gooey and oh-so-delicious. Yum!

Happy Hanukkah! Happy Holidays! And Merry Christmas too!

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
