Nabo Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 19

So this is meant to be a panettone-flavored tea, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a panettone with cinnamon in it? Usually they’re more just buttery and orangey with dried fruits and sometimes chocolate. (Also, it’s not really a cake, it’s more of an enriched bread, like brioche…)

It’s a nice enough festive tea. There is a strong orange presence that’s sweet and does remind me of the flavor of panettone, however the cinnamon is also quite strong, which takes it more in the direction of an orange spice holiday tea. There is a certain buttery brioche-y quality to it as well.

It’s a nice restrained orange spice tea with a bit of a desserty element. Now I kind of want to try panettone with cinnamon, like a cinnamon raisin panettone… :O

I could definitely get behind a cinnamon raisin panettone!

I asked my Swiss (she has got Italian roots) friend what should be in panettone and she told me that it’s up to you. Mostly fruits are used, but if you like raisins or cinnamon, or whatever, it’s up to you!

At this point I think my love of chocolate chip panettone is well-documented, so I’m glad it’s not considered a total sacrilege!

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

~ 2025 SIPDOWN CHALLENGE! ~
- February sipdowns: 1
- Total 2025 sipdowns: 35

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
