Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – January 2026 Tea #1 -January 1 – Welcome to the New Year! Drink one of your newest teas!
So this is my newest, from an order I just made, and it MIGHT be a new tea from Adagio? I love their Candy Cane tea, so I was happy they wanted to send me a pouch of this. (I switched it from the Krampus blend.) It sounded very much like their Candy Cane blend. It IS very much like the Candy Cane tea, it is DELICIOUS. Strong black tea, strong peppermint, creamy vanilla. A brisk winter tea for a brisk, snowy winter day. Invigorating! Love it, love it. One of my favorite minty teas, for sure. Two great steeps. The main difference of the two blends is that this one has mini white chocolate chips. Would I need both Candy Cane and this blend in my tea collection? Well, one of them better always be in the cupboard….
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
