Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge National Kiss a Ginger Day / National Marzipan Day Tea #2
additional notes: One old and one new tea today for this sipdown challenge! An old favorite. But seeing as Simpson & Vail’s Almond Sugar Cookie is probably the same tea, I’m good with finishing this favorite soon. It’s TIME. Still very flavorfully almond! Probably doesn’t even need a teaspoon and a half.

Ha ha, great minds think alike! I’m steeping a cuppa of S&V’s Almond Sugar Cookie right now! :D
This late?! :D
Caffeine doesn’t seem to affect me much, so YES!
hah, yeah, I get that but I would just rather not push the chance of NOT getting sleep, so I pretend caffeine is still affecting me.
Also – I’m not sure it’s the exact same tea, the S&V version doesn’t have cinnamon.
Yeah, I noticed that last night… but if not the same blend then VERY close.
I already found the “dup” of Brioche, it’s from the wholesaler Wollenhaupt. They call it “Candied Almond” but since teashops can rename wholesaler teas whatever they want, search by ingredient list on Google, not name. As one example (and they are far from the only ones carrying it), The Tea Smith has it under the name “Almond Biscotti”. Black Tea, almonds, cinnamon, safflower, flavoring: an exact ingredient list match to “Brioche”.
Yeah, I’ll learn eventually, sorry Mastress Alita. :/
