Did you know that the Christmas Advent Calendar season is only around 5 weeks away????
I’ve gotten a David’s 24 Days of Tea a couple of years now, but I think I’d like to try something else this year. Any suggestions?

That was all brought about because I made this tea in the late morning and of course it reminded me of Christmas. I had my kenalog shot on October 8 and it is finally kicking in enough so I can smell. And this tea, even though it is getting ooold, still smells great. And the flavor is till good too. I am going to be opening and inhaling lots of teas this week. Silly, I guess, but it makes me happy to smell my tea :D

Girl, I’m doing two of my tea advent calendars in November. Five is too many to do all at once! Yes, I’m aware I have a problem… ;)

There’s a thread on tea advent calendars on the discussion boards with a pretty extensive list. ❤

Thank you, thank you! I’ve always wanted to try the dammann freres advent calendar. Even with international shipping it was within my price range. So I ordered squee For some reason I’ve never been able to reply to any post in the forums. Don’t know why. But I saw your post and clicked. Now I’m broke. But happy!!! ahem and two is a very reasonable compromise, I think.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
