additional notes: I didn’t buy any advents this year, but I’m getting B&B’s advent e-mails anyway.   Since I probably already own most of the advent teas from B&B anyway, I thought I might try to follow along with the advent tea for each day.  If I don’t have it, that’s fine – I have plenty of other holiday type teas to have on the days I’m missing!   I had wanted to sipdown this at some point this month anyway.  B&B has plenty of Christmas teas (they just released the VIP teas today) but I’m sad that Figgy Pud isn’t one of them! Their dreaded Eggnog tea though? meh.  I DO like this blend and I wouldn’t mind having a bit more of it around.  I wouldn’t call it anything salted caramel though.  It’s somehow a unique comforting flavor profile.

CHRISTMAS CAKE, GAAAAAH!

haha, yep, Christmas Cake is one of my faves

I ordered Christmas Cake and Jack Frost. I wanted to stay in the cheapest shipping bracket and I figured anything else can wait for the sale. :P

Those are my two favorites of the bunch too, Cameron.

Agreed, tea-sipper, I am shocked and appalled there are apparently enough people out there that liked that citrus-flavored “Eggnog” tea to warrent its return!

Maybe these apparent people have never actually TRIED B&B’s eggnog tea and are imagining it differently. ha

And I need to break the bank to have money for all the teas I want to order I guess.

Ha maybe I’m the only one who liked the eggnog tea, but I’m happy to see it return!

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
