Tea That Tastes Like Coffee and Go Tigers!

Hello friends!  Wow, it's already the 6th of December - this month is flying by.

I started the day with the Roter Winterpunsch.  I tasted it before I looked up the ingredients.  Well dang, it would seem that I need to change my opinion on Hibiscus, because wouldn't you know it, it's also in this blend.  This is another winter flavored tea and I think the best one I've had so far. 

 I give this tea a rating of:

I was a little confused when I pulled the Espress Black Tea out of my advent calendar.  Ummm, excuse me this is a TEA advent calendar - I don't like coffee!  The funny thing is while I can't stand the taste of coffee, I love the smell of it.  Both of my parents were big coffee drinkers when I was growing up and I always loved when the coffee maker came on in the morning.

I was very hesitant when I added the hot water - it smelled so much like coffee.  I tentatively took the first sip, thinking I was probably going to be pouring the rest of it down the sink.  I was so wrong!  I absolutely love the taste of this tea.  It literally tastes like how coffee smells to me.  I know that might sound silly but it's so good!!  I give this tea a rating of:

The very first tea to get a rating of FIVE teacups!

I try very hard to be fair with my children; also I don't want one of them giving me grief for showing one college themed Christmas tree and not the other one!

Here are photos of the tree I decorated with a Clemson theme the Christmas before my son graduated.  I will say that Clemson ornaments were a lot easier to find!

I think I still have most of these ornaments.  Now that we live only 30 minutes away from there, I could do a yearly Clemson Christmas tree.  That would make five Christmas trees - I don't know if my husband would go for that.  Maybe it will just "appear".

Toodles until tomorrow....
