s’mores chai

new mug! it fits my main tea basket pretty well even though it’s only 6 oz! thanks gemini for the mug recommendation! lol! anyway, another chai since I have creamer atm. trying it without creamer first since it’s pu’erh rather than black so we’ll see how it goes edit: creamer helped

chocolate macaroon

you know, since it’s chocolate I was expecting to dislike it but it’s way more coconut forward bigelow makes a toasted coconut almond bark that is pretty good but this is better well, I think it’s better. need to dig up some toasted coconut almond bark to confirm edit: does not resteep well. so there’s…

silent night

grabbed some cran orange bisconies at costco last night and they go great together ^_^

alpine punch

it’s in the 60s today – downright chilly! so splurging with actual rock sugar instead of stevia ^_^

this tea expands SO MUCH! filled my strainer about 1/3 of the way and it’s almost full after being steeped

silent night

goes well with the scones but think I used too much sugar

saigon chai

fairly mild after the chai powder.. still quite nixe, though

thai rooibos

went with thai rooibos first since it’s available year-round it’s spicier? more cinnamon-y? possibly due to age, though

zingiber ginger coconut

thought I had forever frosty up here but turns out I don’t… so pivoted to zingiber ginger coconut to compare with davidstea’s alpine punch and harney’s thai rooibos

pumpkin chai

it’s been in the 80s all week – counts as fall imo

bahama blue

got a teapot for ice teas since I’m worried about breaking my mug will grab some proper photos once I’ve cleaned it up

valerian nights

y’all. this smells AMAZING!!! doesn’t taste quite as good as it smells, but how could it? still quite nice with a bit of a tang that I don’t quite like… … quite. hah! will try steeping at a lower temp next time and see how it goes. def will be trying it again ^_^

alpine punch

finally off cough drops long enough that everything doesn’t just taste like cough drops love this tea ^_^

hot cinnamon spice

I have the door to my office closed since my little heater doesn’t hold up well against the french doors nice and cozy in here

manuka honey hero

it’s not get-kicked-in-the-face-with-ginger but still nice and spicy

white pumpkin

at least it doesn’t smell of butter? lol, it’s actually pretty good

saigon chai

after the disaster that was butterscotch chai I had to switch it up. stuck with chai, though. now ~this~ is perfect for the dreary weather we’re having

butterscotch chai

y’all. this is dreadful. smells like buttered popcorn ( /gag) added sugar and cream and still not sure if I’ll finish the entire mug.

peanut butter cup

this is dreadful. I ended up adding sugar but it was no help I don’t typically like chocolate in tea so at least I wasn’t eexpecting to like it lol
