This sample came from the lovely Cameron!

This one is quite reminiscent of gingerbread. The black tea base is unassuming and works really well too. I would consider ordering this one.

Good to hear that you like it. I received a free 30 sachet tin of Gingerbread Festival when I placed my last order with Harney & Sons. I would have ordered in anyway, so it’s nice that I got it for free. It’s so good and it smells EXACTLY like what we in Denmark call “honningkage”, a soft Christmas cake that contains spices, honey and molasses – among other things.

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
