Super excited to try this (but if I’m not careful, I’ll have tried every tea from the 24 days of tea before I even open my calendar :/ ). Mixed feelings about this, mostly cause I didn’t realize it was a mate and the flavour is there (though for a mate, it’s not bad). Also…pineapple? Who’s eating gingerbread and goes “wow, I’m going to grab some pine aplle to go with this!”? It makes it feel like an odd mix between a winter tea and a summer tea (though that does match the weather today)
Aside from that, a very nice tea. More ginger molasses cookie that what I would traditionally consider gingerbread—it’s got that soft, sugar covered feel to it. If some appeared in my stocking at Christmas, I wouldn’t protest, but I’m probably not about to go buy some myself.
Flavors: Cookie, Molasses, Pineapple, Spices, Sugar

Is the pineapple overwhelming? I was at davids last night getting a steeper and the two employees were lamenting about the pineapple in this tea.
I wouldn’t say it’s overwhelming (at least not in the cup I had). There was a hint of it at the beginning, particularly as it cooled, but the aftertaste was all cookie.
Hm, interesting. After DAVIDs posted the note it’s then I realized this had a bit of mate in it. I like mate personally, so that’s alright, but on the other hand I’ve been only having 1 cup of caffeinated tea per day. So unless this really wows me I’ll prob just have the sample in the 24 days of tea and that’ll be it since I have lots of green teas and whatnot to use up.
