drank Gingerbread by TeaMaze
3029 tasting notes

Well, friends, it’s winter. Clammy gray sky, temperature 30 degrees with 20 to go before we bottom out tonight, we are de-treed, de-decorated, and de-flated at the prospect of returning to work Monday.

A little spice sounded just like what the afternoon needs. TeaMaze’s take on gingerbread fits the spice category, but I’m not sure it conveys “baked goods” very strongly. The ingredient list on the website says that there’s lemon peel, but what’s in my packet looks like orange. So instead of gingerbread with a little lemon zest, we’ve got a pleasantly juicy citrus-and-spice melange to take the chill off.

I’m thinking the results might be a little different with milk and sweetener, but now that I just got warm, I’m reluctant to throw off the blanket to make another cup. Can you take care of that for me?

The only gingerbread tea I’ve been happy with is Gingerbread Festival from Harney. Only available in a tin of sachets unfortunately… eyeroll

We are also de-treed and de-decorated. 75F and balmy at 7:30 pm with a chance of snow Monday. Really? Really…And schools just announced a return to virtual starting Monday.

I am bringing home gingerbread from Poland gingerbread museum in Torun. With black Ceylon base and honestly I am very curious.
Hopefully good as yours, even with orange :)

I’d help you with that, gmathis, as long as you don’t mind me making a cup for myself as well :)

Come on over! Of course, you’ll have to put up with my binge-watching subtitled episodes of “Emma: A Victorian Romance” … first season ended with a cliffhanger, confound it, and I’ve got to get some resolution before I get back to work tomorrow!
