Marshmallow awesomeness!

Yay! Christmas tea! This is part of the DavidsTea tiny tins set (with those super adorable little tins!)

I thought I’d start with this because the pomegranates smelled SO GOOD. Steeped, it still smells strongly of pomegranates, but I can also smell the hibiscus. The tea has a very pretty rose tint, but the hibiscus actually doesn’t overwhelm the tea at all. It’s very nice. It’s slightly tart, yet fruity and yum!!! I don’t really know if I can taste the white tea though – I wonder what this would taste just as an herbal blend? Someday I really need to try white tea on its own just to get an idea of what it’s like!

This is the first time I remembered to use the lid on my steeper too, so… good job me? I guess it’ll be neat (in a tea-geek sorta way) to see if there’s a big difference with the lid on vs using a tea ball in a mug.

I think I have enough left for 1 or 2 more cups – it won’t last long!

Merry Christmas!

Since we ended up picking our own present, I chose DavidsTea Perfect Mug- the giant sized one with the fall tree theme, and 30g of Glitter&Gold. I’ve been looking forward to it! This mug is going to get so much use!!!

I like this tea. Immediately I thought, “Mmmmm. Nice.” The glitter is so pretty, and I like the orange/vanilla combo, although I slightly oversteeped it.

This has got a twist all right! The licorice is very nice, but something in it has a bit of zing. It’s good, and I’ll be sure to try it when I have a cold, but as a late night tea I’d be better off with Mother’s Little Helper.

Here’s another one from ozli. It was pretty essential to try today due to the eggnog smell.

This is pretty great. It’s slightly creamy, with lots of vanilla notes, and eggnog spices rolling around in each sip. It makes me think of what I imagine warmed eggnog would taste like. I think it might even be better than my DTT Winter Nog, but that’s rooibos so not really comparable.

Thanks ozli for the huuuuge bag of this. Hello Christmas Tea: ILU!

Even though we’re not doing a big Christmas thing this year, I am doing a turkey! His name is Frank. So today I’m getting everything prepped and straightened out. I’m looking forward to a nice Christmas dinner, and watching K open up all her presents (or try to).

We don’t have a tree and my bf and I basically bought ourselves a small gift, but the baby will be spoiled. We’ll have a few people over for games, and a batman marathon in the background! My roommate even surprised me with a mystery gift and it’s from DavidsTea!!!

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas. And that they find tea related gifts in their stockinged.

Just dumped this because the chocolate was too thin and gross. :(
Will lower the rating bc it’s too inconsistent for me.

Just had Della Terra’s Tea Candy Cane Lane, but I ended up dumping it out to make a cup of this instead! The chocolate was too thin and watery and because it’s hit and miss I’ve decided that Santa’s Secret wins for Best Peppermint Holiday Tea.

Congrats?

I win too.

This? Pretty much the worst when it cools.
A great breakfast tea unless you’re distracted. Time to make something else!

I’m on my first steeping of this and every sip is a mouthful of creamy buttery goodness. It makes me want shortbread cookies so badly. Why haven’t I made any yet?

Looks over at 7mo attempting to climb all the things and bump her head repeatedly. Riiiiiiight. :/

This tea is so good though. I just bought 50g more for $4.50 while the sale is still on. Gonna have to finish my DT Pumpkin Chai to clear out a tin! #bestproblems
