I have been debating with myself about this year’s 12 Teas of Christmas. I have tossed around the idea of doing a full advent – but this really isn’t a feasible thing for me. I am a one person operation – and to make 24 teas in addition to the 5 teas per month that I’d be doing for subscriptions – I neither have the studio space nor the energy or sanity to pull that off. I wish I did – but until I can afford to pay employees and have a larger facility, I simply cannot pull that off.
An idea that I’ve also been tossing around my mind is maybe doing an actual 12 teas of Christmas – focused on teas that can be in some way – inspired by the 12 gifts from the song. I actually have come up with most of the teas that I’d blend to the 12 days of christmas song – some would be reblends and some new teas – and they all have an abstract connection to the gifts mentioned in the song. But this would negate the vote and I know that people appreciate that ability to vote on the reblends that would be featured in the box, so again – I don’t know.
My final idea was to maybe do a tea translation of the song for the holiday – and then put together a 12 reblends box in December (since the tea translation box would already have been sent out in November) and ship out the 12 reblend box as a 12 Reblends for the New Year box – or maybe go with the current formula (8 reblends + 4 new teas) and call it the 12 Teas for the New Year box?
I don’t know. My S/O tells me that I need to just keep it to one box because I drive my household crazy during the blending/production of the box and I don’t need to double that. What are your thoughts? (Also, I think I’m going to cut/paste this and post it to the discussion forum so that I can get more opinions – for those who may not read this…

Replied in the discussion forum :) I’m really stoked that you’ve been thinking about theming the 12 teas of Christmas to the song!
