Sample sipdown. Not sure how I got this particular bag. Possibly a lingering sample that came with my advent calendar two years ago? Or one of the bags a friend yoinked for me when some hotel she was staying at had Dammann? Either way, seems apropos to sip on as I gear up for adventageddon. I was dreading it a bit, I think because over the past few years I got over-enthusiastic and had just way too many calendars to get through every day. But then I took stock and really it’s much more manageable this year: a 25-day caffeine-free from Plum Deluxe, a 24-day from Tea Thoughts, a 24-day from Lupicia (still en route so I’ll have to catch up a bit when it gets here), and a 12-day from 52teas. The Tea Thoughts and Lupicia calendars are both not exclusively tea, so non-tea days will give me an opportunity to play catch-up if needed. I have a Hanukkah sampler from Plum Deluxe, but Hanukkah starts on December 25 this year so at that point I’ll be able to focus on just the sampler. All actually probably really doable and fun rather than overwhelming and stressful, yay! This tea is also fun. I know it has other ingredients, but all I can taste is the cocoa and cinnamon, which is a flavor profile I enjoy. Great way to ease into the situation.
What a find! And perfect timing!
I like the idea of getting a caffeine free advent so you can have tea at night, too. I must make a mental note.
Wow! happy start of advent time!
I also am relieved to have fewer advents this year!
