Umazing! 👍

Day 10 Eggnog Black
On the day I just so happened to buy eggnog on a whim. Sorta. I didn't have a lot of faith in this one, but I was pleasantly surprised - in both scent and taste it had enough sweetness to balance the bitterness of the black tea base. I think this is my new fave black tea.

Day 8 Vanilla Chai Black
Absolutely lovely aroma, but the actual taste was - lacking especially for a chai.

Day 9 Elf's Maple Herbal
Now here's a heavy hitter. The smell is so maple syrupy, but not overwhelming. Taste was full but even, sweet but not so sweet as to ruin the balance. Great tea.

Federal agents are arresting American citizens.

This isn’t about public safety - it’s about stoking fear.

Day 7 Holiday Pear Green
A lot of fruit flavored greens miss the mark and end up tasting strange, but pear is a soft enough flavor to mix well with the base green they're using. Really good blend, but not necessarily one I'd be clamoring for more of.

Day 6 Espresso Black
Coffee is another flavor I'm not a huge fan of, but it balanced very well with the black tea here. I think the muffin and blueberries I was eating provided the sweetness needed for me to enjoy it, but I think a more complex black blend would serve the espresso flavor best.

I wish I could give you my extra teabag for it

Day 5 Orange Cream Rooibos Red
Ahhh the other flavor I dislike... Orange. Very orangey orange the minute I tore open the packet. The flavor was rich. Orange has its place, but that place is not in my mouth. This one was not for me.

Day 4 North Pole Peppermint Oolong
Mint is one of the two flavors I dislike, but I find it's often well used in tea. This was the case here. The steeped tea had a pungent, almost medicinal smell, but its flavor was soft and delicious. An excellent use of such a seasonally appropriate flavor.

Day 3 Cozy Coco Black
The coco definitely comes through here. Absolutely delightful in that regard. I wish it was more coco than black tea, but that's just me and my little love for black teas. I gave away my second packet of this, but I would have gladly had more.

Day 1 Anise Cookie Black
Very abuse forward, most of it on the first sip then dissipating to black on the back half. Not bad but not spectacular.

Day 2 Manuka Honey Chamomile
Smelled divine, but got overpowered by the Choco cheesecake I was eating.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Of course we also made Lumiose Galettes and tea

Maybe it's just that it's my sweet apple curry and fruit+croissant always wins, but it legit went together really well. Like we ended up pouring some curry in a bowl and dipping more croissants
