Simpson & Vail Advent Calendar – Day 12
(originally written November 12th)
Haven’t been doing much in the way of tea today. I had one at work. But then I saw a note from ashmanra that mentioned potato soup, so once I left work I had to head to to store and pick up the ingredients to make my own. With shredded sharp cheddar and bacon on top, of course! (I made way too much soup! At least I don’t have to worry about work lunches for the week!)
Anyway, the tea. This is a strawberry cream green tea with cacao nibs.
It’s not bad, but not remarkable either. The green tea base doesn’t have a lot of flavor – just a bit of grass and dried leaves. I can taste the strawberry, though it’s not strong. I’m not sure I’m really getting much in the way of cream or cocoa.
Mostly just a rather generic strawberry green tea that’s not all that flavorful. Meh.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Candy, Grass, Strawberry

Oh my goodness how many tea advent calendars did you buy? I am so jealous – that seems like so much fun! I will look forward to that in like…. 20 years… But maybe next year I’ll have my husband make up advent calendars by company – I can have Butiki, DT, AQ2T, 52Teas… haha.
ALL OF THEM.
But seriously, I bought 5 this year (6 if you count Bonne Maman).
Wow! Which one is your favorite? Or which ones would you get again next year?
I would say I’ve liked the Bird & Blend calendars the best this year. I also really enjoy the Dammann Frères calendar, but didn’t order one this time around.
The Simpson & Vail and Palais des Thés have been worthy of buying as well, and I would consider getting them again in the future if the teas included weren’t exactly the same.
