Okay, people, I have a dangerously large amount of snacks in my house right now…
The husband and I went to Costco over the weekend, mostly to stock up on pantry staples like chicken stock, canned tomatoes, pasta, et cetera. But of course, they had a big section of holiday snacks near the front, and having zero self-control, I ended up with a huge bag of white chocolate peppermint Pretzel Crisps and an equally giant tin of “European” cookies with Belgian chocolate. (facepalm)
Add to that that I also made a batch of Rice Krispies treats (my husband’s favorite) over the weekend and we still have a big bowl of mini candy bars from Halloween… Let’s just say I’m happy that I never bother to weigh myself anymore! XD
But dayum, those Pretzel Crisps… 10/10, would recommend!
Anyway, the tea. This one is in my sipdown-in-progress box (or as I saw VariaTEA call it, my focus box, which I think I like better). And that is through no fault of the tea, it’s just old and the packet was already opened, so that makes it a target for finishing off.
I actually do quite like this one, being a lover of Earl Grey. The bergamot is light enough to not overpower the vanilla, which has a nice creamy custardy note to it. I’m not sure it’s quite the Earl Grey Cream of my dreams, but it’s probably the closest I’ve had. Will definitely consider for a reorder once I’ve ahem… reduced my cupboard a bit!
P.S. – I have three different tea mails out for delivery today! SQUEE!

Costco snacks are amazing! Last year during the holidays I went wild getting so many snacks there haha! Also, this tea note is making me miss having an Earl Grey around.
THE TEA EXCITEMENT OMG! Which ones?!
You don’t have an Earl Grey?! :O I can’t imagine, I like them too much…
It’s New Moon, Dessert by Deb, and Crio Bru all coming today! Thought I’m not sure whether I’ll let myself try any of them just yet…
Hahah I am not a fan of bergamot, but after experimenting with making them as a lette, I feel I have to have one around.
I’m excited to see what you think of all the news ones! I have absolutely no self control when new things come in the post. XD
Courtney, there was once a time where I hated bergamot. “London Fogs” were my “gateway” into EG, myself! Then I slowly started trying blends where begamot was mixed with other flavors so it wasn’t so strong, and over time, my palate simply adapted to it… now, I can drink a straight EG like a proper English Gent. :-)
London fogs are super tasty — you’re right! I am from the coast, so we even get London fogs named “Martinique Fog” and “Halifax Fog” which always brings me joy. I’ll have to keep trying teas and see if I adapt too! :)

That’s lots of tea!
And those New Moon pouches are so nice!
@Martin – I agree, I love her label design! :3
Just realized all these teas are Canadian companies ❤️
