Devin Bartholomew Advent Day 1

Labeled: Shady Maple Spearmint Herbal

Swapping homemade tea advent calendars has become a bit of tradition for me these past 5ish years and I always look forward to opening the daily packet and trying new teas in the lead-up to Christmas!

I was pleased to see a mint tea right off the bat…so festive! I steeped it up in the evening and sipped while decorating our Christmas tree with my husband. My steeping may have been to blame (it was a small sample and I used a big mug) but I found the mint flavor a bit muted for my tastes.

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
