Continuing on with holiday teas today. I found this one in the box from CelebriTEA. I have to tell you this one brings back a flood of memories. I would never touch eggnog as a kid. It looked and sounded gross. My grandmother loved it. She added nutmeg and some form of alcohol to her recipe. It is the only time I ever saw her drink – She remained a lady. My Nana had a silver aluminum Christmas tree that looked like a painted broom stick with shiny sticks poking out everywhere. You didn’t hang lights on the tree, just a few bulbs. The tree rotated on its base. There was a lighted colored wheel that you pointed at the tree that rotated and made the sparkling tree change colors. Though I have never tasted eggnog, this tea reminded me of all those years at grandma’s house for Christmas with the family. We were poor but we still exchanged gifts and ate until it hurt. Then we would spend the rest of the evening telling stories and laughing.
As for the tea itself – bravo! Not only is it creamy and egg like, I can taste the Mao Feng and it is really good. What restraint to not over flavor this one. Truly an excellent job! Thanks for the holiday memories.

I love it when people share memories in their tasting notes. It really brings tea to life.
I agree! I love it when a tea brings back a memory like that.
Poor people are never poor as the riches of a family is the best thing in life.
Oh! The aluminum tree! One at my grandparents’ house, too, along with a very rectangular couch with itchy metallic thread in the upholstery and a funky, glittery plastic upholstered picture. And aluminum glasses for iced tea that sweated and made your teeth clank when you took a drink! (No, I’m not feeling nostalgic, not at all…)
Oh yes! My grandmother had the red, green, and blue aluminum glasses. Awesome. Granddad used a green plastic tupperware cup he drank iced tea from. Yeah just like Si.
