Verdict: I will stick to putting cinnamon in my hot chocolate, not my tea.
Most of this tea quest I have had the issue of finding most teas very washed-out in terms of flavour. This was not the case with the Cinnamon Roobios Chai. Strong cinnamon smell and equal in taste, but it mixed with another super sweetened flavour that threw a punch. This was a tea I couldn't finish because it was too much flavour.
Verdict: I will stick to putting cinnamon in my hot chocolate, not my tea.

The holidays are here, even in a Universal Yums box. I was super excited to see that this month's box was shipped out extra early, and we dove into it right away! A great way to start into the festive spirit, and a great way to end our yums adventure (for now). I have enjoyed experiencing these new treats, but until we reach a better financial situation, the boxes are a luxury that will have to be on hold. Hopefully it's something we can consider again when I am back to work.

My holiday care-package could include: -Peruvian Hot Chocolate -Chinese New Year nut treats -Polish Peppermint Gingerbread -Pretty much any cake. I can't believe it. It finally happened. I found my tea! By total random-happenstance at a Christmas party, I picked up the secret gift-exchange box that contained this packet of tea, tried it, and, for the first time in my life, can finally say that I found a tea that is my warm hug on a cold day. Once again, this is a tea that doesn't actually contain any real tea, which is probably why I like it. It's filled with fruit and nuts and cinnamon. It smells wonderful and tastes like happy.
Sleigh Ride Verdict: I need to order the big tin, and they sure as hell better not discontinue this after the holidays! This month we took a food tour around the Netherlands. I must admit that this is a country that I have not often considered menu-wise. I'm so ignorant that when the clue in the previous box mentioned "known for cheese" that was more trivia for me than a clue. Let's explore the box: Click through the pictures below for treat-by-treat commentary The Ballot:![]() I'll be honest, there wasn't a leaping OMG snack for me in this box, but there were a few delightful novelties that I wouldn't say no to. Our Netherlands care-package could include: -Jan Hagel the "ugly" cookie - Orange Pastills -Paprika chips -Milk toffee -Cadillac wine gums |
