I received this in a swap in the summer and I transferred it the a T-Sac and forgot all about it in my cubby at work. Then yesterday I woked up at 3:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep. . . at ALL! So when I dragged myself out of bed after tossing and turning at 5:30am to slowly get ready for the longest most annoying day in my twenty-something years of life. I knew once I got to work that I need to dig it out. At that point I didn’t even remember what it was called I just remembered I had a mate tea in my cubby. So I brewed it up after I looked at the leaves hoping that would give me a clue. It smelled fabulous and immediately I was like “this smells like mocha and mint!”
Then it had a toasty taste to it and I racked my brain before remembering that one was called Roasted Mocha Mint!
It was incredible and I wanted to savour it but my coworker spilled it. :( Now I know I need to order from Fusion Teas!

YAY! Time to crack open the 24 days of tea!
Day One = Buttered Rum!
I have never had real buttered rum, but if it tastes like this then I definitely need to try it! It reminds me of werther’s caramels with butter and coconut!
Pretty psyched for the next 23 days. I almost forgot about it until I read an email that said december 1st, at that point I was happily nursing a cup of The Skinny, which I then wolfed down.
AND There is without a doubt at least enough tea for two cups of this. I used 1.5 tsp and the little tin is still more than half full. Yay!

My house feels alarmingly cold. I’m snuggled in fleece with my big dogs. It’s our first winter in this house and I feel like we may need to better insulate it. This is my first reveiw it what feels like a long time. I used to do one almost every morning until my car broke down (the parts arrive tomorrow YAY!)
This is an almost overwhelmingly cozy tea. All I need to do is start my fireplace and then I’m doing exactly what this tea is intended for. Smooth peppermint, with a hint of creaminess, vanilla maybe?
I want to put up my tree now.

I am not a fan of coconut, with that said I LOVE this tea! So does my dog, she steals the end of my cup every time. Today the pups and I paid a visit to the vet. We’re in the middle of a snow storm right now and we were late, but the vet was later than us! Two hour visit! Rally has a cracked tooth that needs to come out because it has an exposed root. Octane has a few lumps that will be biopsied next week. He also needs to put on a bit of weight. So, we were pleased that no one was seriously ill, especially after our horrible recovery this summer.
The rest of the day was spent preparing BoxerPapa for a weekend away with army. Gathering all his stuff to sleep outside in NW Ontario in winter! Bet he’s thankful for NorthFace right about now!
So after that day I needed some winding down and I decided that this was the perfect way to do it. It’s minty and sweet, every once in a while the coconut sneaks up on you. I enjoy this one bare.

Perfect tea to compliment Butiki black friday shopping! Great way to start my morning on a snow day!

I may well be on my death bed right now. I woke up alarming sick with flu symptoms. Fever and chills flu, not stomach, which I am very grateful for. But, I had little to no desire to eat or drink anything until just now, I want black tea. I’m not about to drink a caffinated tea at 6pm when I hope I’m in bed in 3 hours.
Enter Vanilla Comoro, never a bad time for the decaf piece of heaven. I’m going to get back under my blankets and enjoy this while I catch up on season 3 of ‘The Big C.’

My very first flavoured matcha.
Robust.
I purchased a matcha set from DT specifically for this and I regret nothing. As I fully intend on ordering myself a tonne of red leaf matcha now. Holy moly this is damn good!
It’s creamy and sweet, I drank it bare and it even got a little cold. I don’t want the cup to be over… EVER!

Oh my gosh! This pure heaven.
It tastes like candy and spices. I took this from the traveling tea box and I do not regret this. I need to order this!

MMMMM…. Exactly what I need.

I had to make my weekly trip to DT a little early this time in order to get my hands on an advent calendar (which I did! Yay!) So I decided to take this as a cup to go. The man that helped me told me that is was like Elf Help, but spicier, this didn’t help me because I never tried Elf Help.
It found it to be very sweet and fruity. Too sweet and fruity actually. My stomach hurt afterward. But, one of the DT staff wrote this on my cup!
