Tea Time Day One

For my sipping pleasure on this first day of advent we have a Wintertee Pumpkin Spice and a Manuka Honey Chamomile.  I also decided this morning that I needed a ranking system to rate each of these teas.  So of course, that meant a quick trip over to Canva to create some graphics.  Here's what I came up with:

One teacup is lowest rating with five teacups being the highest rating.

I started the day with the Wintertee Pumpkin Spice, I find it funny that they start the calendar with this.  Christmas for us mean pumpkin spice season is over.  I'm quite a fan of pumpkin flavored tea and had high hopes for this tea.  Welp, I was very disappointed.  This tea really didn't have much taste at all!  I know that European countries have much stricter rules about artficial flavorings but this tea was definitely missing the pumpkin flavor.

I had a pretty nasty sinus headache this afternoon and a cup of tea helps me feel better.  So it was time for the Manuka Honey Chamomile tea to step up and see what it could do.  I could smell the honey in this tea the minute the hot water hit the teabag.  I have to say that this tea hit the spot.  It had a rich flavor and wasn't too sweet.  I would definitely buy these teabags if they were sold separately.

Talking about advent calendars, these photos popped up on my Timehop app this morning.  

I made this advent calendar for MacKenzie when she was in college.  I found the cut file for free online and thought a cake was a unique idea for an advent calendar.  The most challenging part of this calendar was finding items small enough fit in each slice.  Keurig pods were perfect!  Luckily she's a coffee lover and had a Keurig coffee maker.  Yes, that's a shower poof on the top!

Toodle until next time...
