On the 3rd Day of Christmas – I was a little surprised that this tea did so well in the poll we ran to determine which teas we’d reblend for the 12 Teas of Christmas – happily surprised because I saw this as a tremendous opportunity to work more on the blend. I was very happy with my first ‘reblend’ of this tea last year but I also feel like there was room for improvement and I saw this as an opportunity to do that.
I wanted more vanilla this time and more cookie-like flavor and I do think I managed to achieve that. It’s still got cinnamon – a sweet, non-candy cinnamon (not that hot tamale kind of cinnamon but more like the kind of cinnamon you’d sprinkle on your toast) and the cinnamon is a dominant flavor profile here but I am also getting a nice amount of vanilla.
Really nice for the moment because we have had a bit of a snowstorm up here in the Pacific Northwest (as you may have heard) and this is really nice and comforting to cozy up to when it’s so chilly!
