Yep, I bought some teas for B&B’s Christmas in July sale. But they had Jelly & Ice Cream! And a couple other lovely blends I wanted to stock up on! I never know when Jelly & Ice Cream will be discontinued for good! So I was sipping a couple B&B teas in the last few days. I really wanted to stock up on some 20gram sizes of other teas but their sale is a real pain when their website is down. Then I just end up grabbing sale stuff. They really need to know the demand of these sales!
Thanks Cameron B for sharing this one! I guess I really procrastinated on trying this one, because I know others were finding it a bit citrusy for some reason and eggnog is NOT citrusy. I’d recommend that those that didn’t like it originally try it again, as I’m not tasting noticeable screaming citrus here. At least nothing obvious. Maybe the tea has aged the citrus away… The problem is, it doesn’t really taste like eggnog either. Maybe hints of spices. But it definitely doesn’t have much in the way of egg or cream. The second cup tasted exactly the same as the first. Better than I expected, but I was expecting nothing great.
Steep #1 // 1 1/3 teaspoons for a full mug // 12 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 5 minute steep

I tried to get their Christmas sampler, and even paid for it… but apparently their website messed up and it was already out of stock :(
Sorry about that. B&B’s sale are a MESS when it’s first up. It was ridiculous. The pages were working slowly and the coupon code wasn’t working. They really need to realize the demand for their sales! I missed the Figgy Pud before the 50grams sold out… I was really looking forward to stocking up on that one. I do LOVE that they had free shipping for everyone though!
I was on vacation when the e-mail first came out, so I didn’t even bother to click. I knew everything would be sold out by the time I saw it.
I was on vacation too, haha. With crap cell service. It literally took me 30 minutes just to get things in my cart that I wanted. I’m guessing some of the poor loading was due to the sale, though – I thought it was just me!
No,the slowness happens every time the sale hits, Kittenna!
Mastress Alita – they still have some teas available, and at least you’d get free shipping even if you ordered a couple things?
