I picked up some of this tea in an order last fall and have been enjoying it. I have a tendency to brew it quite strong, and it doesn’t turn bitter or astringent. Smooth and malty, this is quite the nice blend. I’d be tempted to add this to an order again.

Advent tea! This is very lightly berry flavored green tea. Maybe it’s blueberry aside from any other berry? Whatever berry it is, it’s quite smooth and drinkable, a perfectly good afternoon cuppa. Not something I need in my cupboard, but glad I got to try.

Advent tea! This has a burnt toffee, sweet caramel vibe. I can even taste the pecan. I wish I had more of this tea and would switch it out for a few of the other ones in the advent. This reminds me a bit of OBTC pecan pie.

Advent tea! Well, I guess I should write a tea note about some of these teas in the advent, even though I was traveling too much to really enjoy it. I would consider doing this advent again, though I do wish it was a mix of caf and decaf teas. If that’s my only gripe, I think I like it! This one is certainly not one I would try, but I’m glad I did. I am not a bergamot fan, but this has enough lemon/orange/citrus and vanilla to disguise the bergamot. I will gift the second pouch of this to someone who will appreciate it more!

I have grown fonder of this one as I’ve sipped down the mini tin. The acidic coffee is softened by the lavender and makes for a quite drinkable cup!

Subscription box tea. The pecan pie would have blended better with the vanilla rooibos in this box. Instead, it is blended with vanilla mint? The first steep was mostly pecan pie flavoring, which I love; and the second steep was more minty, and not a toothpaste mint, but they don’t really go together. It’s not bad, and I will drink it because I like the pecan pie, but the blend is a miss for me.

I had the first packet of this advent tea a few days ago, and went back for the second packet today. A nicely balanced chai with a caramel aftertaste. I gravitate towards ginger or cinnamon chai, but this one was creamy and sweet and I would purchase in the future. I am very much enjoying the Plum Deluxe caffeinated advent!

Well it seems I am way to busy to log the plum deluxe advent I am enjoying I am thankful I have a few minutes each morning to brew a cup. This week I’m on the Southern Californian coast removing ice plant with the Sierra Club. What a beautiful place to work! I typically prefer awesome tea to Ceylon, but this is quite nice. It’s smooth with a dark chocolate undertone and a sweet finish.

I made a pot of this to drink last night with my family as we socialized. I was trying to taste the mango, but all I got was honey vanilla and pear. Very yummy and would make a good iced tea. Brewed the leaves again in a large mug and it was just as good this morning. I would add this to an order. :)
