Spraying nazi-b-gone isn't working. Perhaps the active ingredient is ineffective.

The last day of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is rooibos nutcracker. Smells and tastes warm, like the lovechild of caramel and hazelnut. A great way to finish off this calendar.

Day 23 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is white chocolate peppermint. I dislike white chocolate, but this tea is heavy on the peppermint, and the base is rooibos, so it seems fine? I added a splash of milk. It's sweeter than plain peppermint, but not chocolatey to me.

Day 22 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is always nuts. It smells sweet, like nuts, vanilla, and caramel when first opened. There are apple pieces and cacao nibs. I got distracted and added milk which I didn't mean to do, and it would've been better without it. Another nice dessert tea.

Day 21 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is decaf chocolate truffle. I started drinking tea when I was trying to cut down on caffeine and coffee, so I love a robust tea like this. The chocolate works for me, and it would be a nice dessert tea. Yum.

Day 10 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is foxtrot! It's a rooibos, chamomile, mint blend. I think it needed a splash of milk, but I drank it without. A nice way to end the day.

Day 19 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is yultide toddy. Smells super fruity as soon as the packet is opened and I see apples and roiboos are the first ingredients. The taste is just as fruity, quite sweet on its own. I enjoyed it. It's called yultide toddy, but I bet it would be nice iced.

Day 17 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is daydream. The first ingredient listed is orange, so I, an orange-flavored food disliker, was apprehensive. But the first flavor in your mouth is mint. It's a little sweet, fruity, minty. It said steep 5-10 mins, I did 10. I love it.

Day 16 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is Almond Cardamom Cake. This sounds delicious to me as a cake, since I adore cardamom. I added a splash of half & half and it's good. I think I needed to steep it longer. It said 5 minutes, but maybe it could have used more time.

Day 15 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is lemongrass ginger, a combo I love. This is a nicely lemony, gingery version. I steeped it to the long end of the range and it's good and bold. The whole kitchen smells of lemon.

You can tell I'm out of practice braiding loaves. That was the last batch of cookies so that poor star's a little dinged up, but everything smells and tastes great, so I'm calling it a win.
Oh look, another book to read, since I finished the first one. #tinybitsofjoy

Day 14 of the decaf Adagio Tea Advent calendar is honeybush blueberry pancake. As soon as the packet is opened, it smells strongly of blueberries and maple. If you like blueberries and maple, it's enjoyable, but I wouldn't buy it on its own.

Day 12 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is golden turmeric chai. I usually love chai. I have had turmeric chairs I enjoyed, but this one seemed not golden enough? Maybe it was the purple mug. It also wasn't as strongly flavored as I expected. Not bad, but it didn't wow me.

Day 11 of the decaf Adagio Tea advent calendar is elderberry wine! More subtle aroma this time, but the color is lovely. Very fruity and floral. I added a smidgen of honey and I like it very much.
