Happy New Year! Unsurprisingly, seems I’m going to be working on advent calendars into 2023. I finished the Steepster homemade, Clipper, and Teeccino advents and the Plum Deluxe Hannukah sampler. Still working on the Dammann Freres, Kiani, DavidsTea herbal, and Plum Deluxe herbal advent calendars!

This blend is Day 10 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent calendar. The flavors in this are distinct but work well together. There are clear orange and vanilla notes over a malty black tea and woody rooibos base. From the name, I was expecting something more like an orange creamsicle vibe, but the base teas are too assertive for that. It doesn’t  claim to be an orange creamsicle tea, though, that’s just me misinterpreting the name.

I probably have three or four weeks to go on the Fortnum Advent. It contains 600 grams of tea. We have finished four of the twenty-four tins. This could take a while…

Don’t worry, I haven’t even started any of mine and I have four I think? I feel like it’s more enjoyable spread out with time to enjoy each one anyway!

Good to know I’m not alone! I don’t have anywhere to put these away so I have to prioritize drinking them down, unfortunately.
