Tea in December Pt. 2: Gingerbread Spice

Ahhhh, gingerbread. I love it warm, right from the oven. I was a little skeptical that a tea might be able to capture the true essence of gingerbread, but this one really does it. "Gingerbread Spice" by Celestial Seasonings. I double bagged with 12 oz. of boiling water. This is a tea you don't want to steep too long, or you'll have a bitter aftertaste. I steeped for three minutes exactly, and added two packets of Truvia and two creamers, and WOW.

It's smooth going down, and you feel a little warmth at the back of your throat from the ginger. This is a great tea with sweets (in this case Christmas Stollen), or for dunking your gingerbread in! Has notes of ginger (of course) with cinnamon and a hint of chocolate. Definitely sipping this again next to a warm fire with a good book!
