Homemade Advent Calendar Day 3
from AJ Rimmer
I tried this one three ways and this is my first tea from Cuppa Geek who I’ve been meaning to order from eventually. So that’s exciting!
1) First I tried a hot cup plain and found the spices to be a bit overpowering probably clove specifically. The base tea was a bit bitter as well. I want to say that this reminds me of….. I think it was a pumpkin chai from the spice and tea exchange? I’m not certain though if that is the one it’s reminding me of or not.
It was also quite creamy though which fit’s with the latte part of the name.
2) The cup with milk was better but still not quite what I was hoping for.
3) I think the cold steeped tea in milk turned out the best. Unfortunately, that usually requires quite a bit of tea leaf usually so this one probably isn’t a repurchase for me. It was fun to try though! As far as pumpkin chai goes I think my favorite is still the DavidsTea one.
(AJRimmer left the cutest little notes for me on each advent tea. So this is me responding to her note. I agree pumpkin season should be all year! Also, I really liked the DT Pumpkin Earl Grey hopefully you do too.)

Cuppa Geek has quickly become one of my favorite companies, so I was glad I still had a few of her teas left in my stash so I could share! I think I only have one left now. I hope she comes back from hiatus soon!

Yes, seeing so many Cuppa Geek advents last year and now none this year is a bit sad.
