So, this is the last of the 6 teas in the Holiday Stocking Stuffers collection. I'm part of a Polish family and our gingerbread is a bit different from other gingerbread in that it's softer, but ultimately has the same flavor. That being said, I don't care for those cookies. I don't know why since I love ginger and spices, but I just prefer more vanilla based cookies. But, we'll see how this tea is.
Outsides: This tea is black tea with pieces of orange and ginger. Also, I have no idea what constitutes Gingerbread flavor, but that's apparently what's in this. I steeped it for 5 minutes at near boiling water. The tea is, again, dark and smells like gingerbread, a bit gingery but warm and baked.
Insides: This is almost like a mild non-spicy chai. The ginger and cinnamon add a nice warmth to the flavor while the orange peel adds a nice zing. The tea is a bit bitter but not undrinkable. I actually like this a lot and think it gets the gingerbread flavor almost spot on. Adding cream gives this a nice milk and cookie flavor but you should probably drink this warm.
Overall: This is probably my second favorite tea from this collection and it's a nice tea for those cold winter nights or just getting into the holiday spirit.
My Rating: Buy it/Try it!
Adagio is an online tea retailer that sells a lot of interesting flavors. This flavor was part of the Holiday Stocking Stuffers collection which has 6 oz of loose leaf tea for $14.
