What’s sweet, spicy & heartwarming? This festive matcha green tea. Inspired by the comforting flavours of freshly baked gingerbread, Organic Gingerbread Matcha is an energizing all-natural blend, and basically the coziest way to get your daily dose—especially when you whip it up as a frothy green tea latte. You know what they say: sugar and spice make the holidays nice.
This matcha green tea powder is packed in a giftable recyclable tin.

Adventageddon Day 1
It’s the most wonderful time of the year here on Steepster… Advent season! I absolutely adore reading through everyone’s daily advent posts. This year 100% snuck up on me and I was not fully ready emotionally to launch into full Adventageddon mode, but I am leaning in and doing my best with it.
Every year I try to get a mix of different styles of advents: loose and sachets, straight/pure teas and flavoured or blended ones, familiar companies and new ones to be explored, small and large businesses. So, with that in mind, this year, I’m excited to be doing advents from DAVIDsTEA (24 DOT and 12 DOM), Tea Thoughts, Dammann Freres, and Inoki Bathhouse – which is my “new to me” company!
Since every other day of the Tea Thoughts advent is a sticker and my matcha advent from DAVIDsTEA is only 12 days, I’ll be alternating having the matcha every other day – so four advent teas each day! I had ordered another 12 day advent to balance it out, but, to absolutely no fault of the vendor, it didn’t make it here in time because of the Canada post strike. Based on the strike estimates, I probably won’t receive it until January. No worries, though; I will still enjoy the teas outside of Adventageddon when they do arrive!
Since today was a sticker day for Tea Thoughts that meant starting my matcha advent, and the first day was the appropriately holiday themed Gingerbread Matcha! This isn’t a personal favourite of mine, but it did really fill me with a level of excitement for winter, Christmas, and the rest of the upcoming advents that I hadn’t expected it to. Plus, I got several homemade gingerbread man cookies in my local grocery delivery box this weekend so that was perfectly timed out too! I whisked up a little teacup with have the days packet and then enjoyed dunking the cookies into the cup which was actually incredibly delicious. Just super concentrated, cozy and sweet gingerbread deliciousness with the perfect balance of spice and molasses notes.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
