Brewing some Black Tea from Minto Island Tea Company in Oregon.

The cup is from CraftedLeaf Tea and one of my favorites to have tea in. How can you not in a dragon cup 😊

Having some Amalgamation of Capital for Day 4 of Teamas. This shou Puerh was specially made for the January 2021 Tea Club via White2Tea and packed into a bamboo shoot.

I tried it when I first got it and then promptly forgot about it as it got buried in my tea cart.

I think the bamboo taste is even more pronounced as it's been untouched for almost 3 years. To me, I get a dense, woody taste, and I'm ok with that 😁

Festivus for the rest of us! Made this great blend for a road trip and I absolutely loved it. It’s a whiskey caramel black tea blend and those flavours definitely kept me feeling warm. Good news! The wind chill warning is lifting! #tea #teamas #teaatthewhitehouse #advent #adventcalendar #christmas #christmascalendar https://www.instagram.com/p/CmicfkNuLIpbcO03S3GA53MjQhBPhvTa8LvLLw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a take to work tea. It smells heavenly. According to the website: Inspired by German Christmas Stollen. A festive baking tradition for many, this dense bread/cake contains fruit, nuts, spices and marzipan. All things I love! #teaatthewhitehouse #advent #tea #teamas #adventcalendar #christmas #christmascalendar https://www.instagram.com/p/Cme43HQpi8kfg2BIhzZjJrEGyNMikjBL0ieuiI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am home where it’s warm and about to steep Creme Brûlée Rooibis in this fun mug which was a gift from my former student now coworker! I’m not really going to eat all the cookies. I just wanted to see how many would fit 🤣 #tea #teamas #teaatthewhitehouse #advent #adventcalendar #christmas #christmascalendar #cookies https://www.instagram.com/p/CmdHqCsuoLS7k3qhP9XEgYqIYW8Lm4A0QPnt4o0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brought out this gem for my take to work tea today. I love love this tea and that’s why I’ve hoarded it away in the back of the cupboard since last Christmas. There was a store that had it here then but no longer. It’s so lovely and indeed a Christmas Tea. #tea #teamas #whittardtea #christmastea https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcbUspJhmMOh7G7AwZpusrtcpWu9PLJBTRloU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Especially when it’s so cold. Nice to have a warm drink. Hey look it’s warmed up to -30°C! #tea #teamas #christmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcMkLfpj4IzdfqK3kTN9Lr5KeZPkvWBBmAdJY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is it even real if you don’t post it? I made this Strawberry Shortcake black tea in my travel mug hoping to evoke warm feelings when the temperature is actually -37°C. I had to do some deep diving to find out this was a black tea and that I shouldn’t save it for an evening drink. It contains strawberry pieces and cornflower. When the tea was piping hot the cornflower came through most but as it cooled the strawberry became more prevalent leading me to believe this would be a great iced tea…on a much much much warmer day. #tea #teamas #teaatthewhitehouse #advent #adventcalendar #christmas #christmascalendar https://www.instagram.com/p/CmaoZmEOXXdNZyvXADvW26HEkIrCIUL_wsAJ7c0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
