I didn't get a #tea #Advent calendar this year. Let's see if I can get a full 24 days without repeats out of what I've got in the pantry.
Today's tea is Great British Cuppa left over from my Bird&Blend calendar from two years ago. Since this is day 1, I'm following the instructions, oversteeping and then adding milk for a nice serviceable coffee-tea.
I got this mug from the British Museum gift shop in January. The Rosetta Stone was one of my early inspirations to study linguistics.
Improvised tea Advent calendar day 3: switching to loose leaf for a sample pack of Friday Afternoon's Snow Day. Spiced chocolate black tea, gotta let it cool a bit but so far it's pretty good.
I got this mug on my wedding weekend from a little local gift shop on Vancouver Island. @Canageek got a similar one with a different glaze.
EDIT: it was the Salish Sea Market in Bowser, BC, and the mugs were made by local artist Katy Fogg.

Improvised #tea #Advent calendar day 2: Treacle Sponge from the 2023 Bird and Blend calendar. Interesting buttery flavor.
The sun is out, the woodpeckers are drumming to each other on the pipes outside, I have no way to log in at work and a Hollow Knight let's play to catch up on; I think today's going to be all right.
Today's mug was last year's Christmas present from my in-laws. @Canageek has a matching one.
