Casting Whimsy Advent Calendar 2025 – Day 23
Shall we begin with the airing of grievances? Lmao!
The package describes this as a cinnamon and caramel black tea, but the nutmeg is quite strong, so it ends up being more like an eggnog black tea IMO. Not a ton of creaminess going on though. Mostly tastes like a somewhat tannic black tea with nutmeg. I don’t notice caramel or vanilla. Not bad, but could be much better I think!
Flavors: Acidic, Astringent, Brisk, Nutmeg, Sweet, Tannic
Finally got around to day 24 of my advent. It’s the last one that isn’t a rooibos and I don’t have it in me to drink rooibos right now. I steeped this cup, took a few sips and dumped it. It was boring generic spice, disappointing and I needed a comforting cup to start a hard day in one of the most challenging months of my life. Advents are always a fun and good way to discover new tea brands and expand my horizons. Sometimes I find companies that I end up loving, like David’s and Theodor and sometimes I learn that I’m not that into a company like Dammann Freres or Brutaliteas. This one falls into that later category of just not my thing.
I’m wishing you strength for whatever challenges you have happening this month!
Sorry to hear you’re going through a tough spot at the moment. I hope things get better for you soon.
Dustin – wondering if you were the one to send me a couple of teas last week? Tea Smith – Almond Biscotti and Arthur Dove – Caramel apple betty? I tried sending you a message…
Thanks, y’all. I was at the hospital with my best friend for 35 days straight as she died of cancer. She is gone now. I still have no bandwidth for mediocre tea. I was on a trip abroad after that, which is why I only just saw your message, Tea-Sipper.
Dustin: So sorry for your loss. What a treasure you have been to your friend, being with her like that. May each day feel a bit less sore, and may you feel more comfort and light each day.
Thank you!
Not a prob on the message! I didn’t know how much Steepster is acting up at any given point. I’m so sorry for the loss of your best bud. That is incredibly difficult.
Dustin, sorry for your loss and heartache. I hope you have some good memories to savor and maybe can sip some tea in her honor. Sending a hug through the internet.
Dustin, so sorry for your loss! May her memory be a comfort.
So sorry for your loss
The addition of caramel flavour to this blend saves it from being yet another, generic, chai-like thing; it elevates it to a whole new level. The fragrance and flavour are both lovely. Casting Whimsy suggest sweetening it with a bit of ‘nog; I didn’t, but I bet that’d be really good.
Flavors: Caramel
Let me know when you get around to the “feats of strength”. :-)
The grievance is that the tea could be better?
I actually celebrate Festivus instead of Christmas, and let me tell you, my Airing of Grievances gets longer and longer every passing year…
