A couple of months ago, I signed up for Amanda ‘SoggyEnderman’ Wilson‘s Tea Advent Calendar. It’s been sitting, waiting patiently, for December to arrive.
Today has arrived.
I opened my box (it looked like a chinese carry out box) and pulled out the first envelope.

I followed the directions she provided and steeped.

Three minutes later, I have tea.

The aroma is gingery. The tea is a little cloudy, but as I drank, things settled and the tea cleared somewhat.
I was a little disappointed in the ginger flavor. It wasn’t as strong as I hoped. Nor was the peanut flavor.
But it was still nice.
I’m excited to see what tomorrow’s envelope brings.

I was on the same boat, I thought it was a nice tea but really wished the peanuts or ginger (or both) would have been stronger.
I started my DF advent calendar too! This tea sounds interesting, I think I would like peanuts in a tea. I can see it being genmaicha-esque. :)
I had hoped it would have more of a nutty flavor, too, toasty roasty or something, but it didn’t. It was a nice green that shined through, but I was missing the other flavors that I wanted.
