2024 Holiday tea #11

Delicious as usual. I will say, I’m glad I don’t rely on grocery store chains for teas. I have seen NONE of the holiday teas. Not from Bigelow, Celestial Seasonings, etc. Someone let me know if they see Celestial Seasonings Nutcracker Sweet out in the wild!

I will keep an eye out for it here!

Thanks – it would just be great to know which store it is possibly located this year. :)

Stores near me never carry any of them… :|

I found Gingerbread spice in a Walmart, and only got one box!?! I’ve never ordered directly from celestial, but that may be the way to go.

I thought it was just me! Two years ago I could find Bigelow seasonal teas at my local supermarket – both for fall and for winter/holidays. Nothing the last two years. I figured they didn’t sell well so the stores stopped carrying them.

I always wonder how stores find room for seasonal things, so maybe that is the problem…

Endcaps. Endcaps are where I find the bulk of the seasonal items. That or the cardboard stands stuck in the isles.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

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!
