Day 25 and final day of the Plum Deluxe caffeine-free advent calendar. Bit of a bummer that this is the last one, just because it’s not my favorite. I can see why it was chosen, though – spicy orange is a pretty classic Christmas flavor. I like that this goes for ginger instead of clove. That makes it a little different than the usual, plus I generally love ginger. I don’t know though, this just isn’t hitting the spot for me. And the base is one that I’m sensitive to, so it doesn’t really seem worth continuing to drink this if I’m not enjoying it. Folks who like orange-clove blends and don’t have issues with black tea would probably like this, though!
Did every tea in this advent calendar bowl me over? No. But I consistently found myself pleased to have something from this calendar for my evening cuppa and drank through it pretty quickly. There were some particularly notable blends – candy cane herbal, chocolate caramel macadamia nut herbal, and warm hibiscus herbal come to mind. I’ve bought this calendar in the past and something I appreciate is that they don’t do a lot of repeats year-to-year. At $48 and free shipping on my order, this came out to 96 cents per sample bag. Each bag had enough leaf for either two regular-size mugs or one large mug. This year, for both convenience and in order to avoid dealing with a bunch of little opened baggies, I made every sample bag in a large mug rather than deal with portioning it out. It’s not an incredible value but I’m ok with that price point. It’s nicely packaged in a lovely tin, individual numbered envelopes, and some useful tracking tools. And it’s a nice way to try out a wide variety of their blends, which is ultimately what I get these calendars for. Very likely that I’ll get it again next year.
I’ve enjoyed the caffeinated so far, haven’t tried them all yet. I’d consider doing both a caf and a decaf next year just to get variety.
Maybe I’ll try one of theirs again next year, it’s been a few years.
The only thing that actually bugs me about their calendars is that sometimes the plastic baggies get staticky and the tea leaves stick to them, though for whatever reason that’s been less of a problem this year.
