This year instead of scratch-off labels, the 12 teas of Christmas came with peel-off labels. Unfortunately, today when I pulled the label for the 2nd tea of Christmas, I also managed to pull off the second word of the tea so I think it’s “Holiday Marmalade” but I could be wrong.
From the dry leaf, there is green tea, orange pieces, and spices. I didn’t focus on the specific spices because I was distracted by the lovely citrus smell of the tea. The orange is strong and there is a bit of a sweet grass note from the base (though very subtle). It definitely has an overall holiday vibe given the sweet, the orange, and the spices. I feel like there is clove and cinnamon and perhaps ginger. Honestly though, this was pretty good so I might have drank this rather quickly without really paying attention.

Oh an. Sounds really good
I can share :)
Actually, they’re scratcher labels too. :)
That’s what someone on instagram said but I tried scratching them initially and it didn’t work. I suppose I am just incompetent lol. I shall scratch harder tomorrow.
@52 teas – I may have missed it but are any of these teas going up on the site later? Ieleftovers? I think folks who got the samplersget first dibs or something? I sadly was in work he’ll and missed paying attention to all that
@Sil – yes, those who purchased the 12 Teas of Christmas box get first dibs on what’s remaining. On the 26th, whatever remains will be added to the website.
@VariaTEA – these stickers are a little different from the ones that I got last year – I needed to find a larger one due to the different labels that we’re using this year (because of the broken printer/using the office printer for labels) I couldn’t be as ‘fancy’ as I was last year and put the name of the tea in the small circle because I just didn’t have room for all that – so I needed to find something that would cover the space that I was using and those little round ones wouldn’t do the job. Anyway – all that was my long, drawn-out way of saying that because these are different stickers, they require a coin to scratch it and a slight bit more pressure than the ones from last year. Not so hard to crush the tea, mind you, but I must admit that last year’s stickers were much easier to scratch off.
If you’re able to pull it off – by all means, that would probably be simpler, but if the sticker seems content to stay affixed to the package, then I’d recommend grabbing a coin and scratching.
