Day 24: Winter Tea (apple, orange, cinnamon)

The final witch of the year! We made it!

God jul, one and all, and may your straw goats burn merrily in the long dark of midwinter.

Day 23: Oolong

Every other witch I've made this year has been some manner of black tea blend - because I like black tea more than other varieties - but tieguanyin oolong makes the list because it's delicious.

Day 22: Lapsang Souchong

my favourite tea I only drink a few cups a year of, because it tastes like a liquid forest fire (positive).

Day 21: Almond tea

This tea smells and tastes precisely like the almond cookies a local bakery sells. Every time I drink it, I get a craving for cookies.

Day 20: Tippy Assam

The thing about getting into a hobby is that you start picking up extremely niche language as you go along, until you find yourself one day able to read TGFOP without stumbling and knowing precisely what that means

Day 19: Pu'erh

I've only tried one variety of pu'erh, but the one I have smells and tastes so much like sun-warmed hay that every time I drink it I get launched back into being a 12 year old horse-nerd. It's a neat experience.

Day 18: Söder Tea (orange, rose, cornflower, sunflower, vanilla)

A Södermalm tea from my own stash, and a SoFo* hipster witch to match.

*( that's South of Folkungagatan, for the non-Swedes in the audience

Wanted to draw some attention to @AnnaLandin's series on #TeaWitches - delightful and wholesome #art she's been posting a piece daily and I look forward to each one. https://mastodon.art/@AnnaLandin/115663266824095468

Attached: 1 image I have been seized by hubris once more, and because I bought myself a tea calendar this year (and because it is somehow TEN YEARS since I last did this), I present to you: #TeaWitches 2025 edition. One witch for every tea in my advent calendar, until my creaky hand gives up or I manage all 24. #art Day 1: Lemon/Vanilla/Cloves

Day 17: Apple Cornflower

Another one from the recesses of my tea cabinet, and this one bought from a local farm. It's got a nice subtle apple flavour, but I'm not sure what the cornflower adds to the whole experience other than being pretty.

Day 16: Vasa Tea

Years ago, the Vasa Museum did a tea-blend based on something they had found aboard the wreck after it was salvaged. I've lost the ingredient list, but it has bergamot in it.

The witch wears 1600s fashion because that's when the ship was built.
