Yet another eggnog latte and the result was a creamy cup of fluffy, fluffy marshmallow goodness!!

Kittenna

Did you end up just getting a packet of this?

Also – I am working on my homemade eggnog latte skillz and, so tasty. The problem, though, is that I’m massively craving another Cranberry Pear one, but I DON’T HAVE THAT TEA. Hahahahaha. And can’t at all justify picking it up.

VariaTEA

Nah. This is still my stash from last January and cranberry pear is awesome. I can give you more when we meet up. Craving crisis averted :P

Kittenna

Omg, if you have it, have you tried making a homemade CP eggnog latte and is it as yummy as in-store?! OM NOM NOM. (Also, thank you! I really have to compile so many more things for you because this is way uneven. Want a bag of Apple Custard? :P)

VariaTEA

I have not. I should though. The problem is there are so many other teas I want to try as an eggnog latte that I haven’t gotten around to trying the DAVID ones at home. And there isn’t that much, is there?

Kittenna

Hahaha, have you drank any tea as an eggnog latte more than once?! And, you sent me teas this last time without me reciprocating, so I totally owe. But I have a week to figure things out :D

I’ve had Santa’s Secret and Cranberry Pear twice. Other than that, I have not. And no worries about reciprocating because I am always happy to share :)

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
