The most wonderful time of the year!

[krait]

It's that time again... time for Krait's Annual Sending of Holiday Cards and/or Tea!

For those who are new, or have forgotten, every year I offer to send out holiday cards (with or without a few tea bags tucked in) to anyone on my reading list.

This has been a tradition of mine since LJ, and I still enjoy it a lot! For me, it's something tied to LJ/DW fandom being a community. Anyone is welcome to sign up, and you're not expected to reciprocate (though if you want to, you can PM me for contact info).

Notes about flavours or types of tea you prefer are welcomed in the comments! My tea collection is mostly black tea, with a few stray whites or greens. I am Not A Vanilla Person, (haha; have you seen this blog's tags?! But also literally) and not a big fan of sweetened teas or of sweet-fruity flavours, either, so those generally won't appear in cards with tea, though sharper fruits like citrus or currant are possible.

Tea would be lovely. :D It sounds like your tea tastes are similar to mine - I love black tea and am not really into floral or sweet fruit flavors, though I'm okay with citrus-type notes. Generally my favorite teas are just regular unflavored black teas of various kinds. I also like white tea and am not a particular fan of green.

If you'd like a card in return, PM me your address?

[krait]

PM sent!

Yeah, there are, like, two? ish? green teas that I like. :D One's genmaicha and the other's Tazo Zen! Otherwise, I have been known to compare green tea unfavourably with lawnmower clippings in terms of taste. :D

I love your rose tea! I also am a fan of green teas.

I really was going to try to send you tea last year, but fell down on the job. Maybe I will do better this year...

[krait]

Oooh, that reminds me, I need to make some more rose tea... :D

How do you feel about other florals? I've been experimenting with violet and/or lavender this year, because I like florals that aren't jasmine...

I will PM you with my address!

Both of those sound yummy. Celestial Seasonings' Lemon Lavender Lane is a favorite tisane of mine. I haven't had any violet flavored tea ever so that sounds particularly interesting.

Oooh! I both love trying new neat tea and sharing favorite teas with people, so this is very much Relevant To My Interests (so would love to also have your address for these purposes).

(I love black and green teas with fruity flavors, sharp-fruity / citrusy definitely a part of this. Not a fan of vanilla either, and OK with cinnamon and mint in small quantities, but prefer other flavors to be dominant. Other than that, anything goes! :)

I'm glad to see other people keeping up the card-sending tradition from LJ! I would be happy to reciprocate if you'd like a card and/or tea as well.

[krait]

It's a great tradition!

I just recently found out there's a functioning Holiday Wishes comm on DW, too, which is another tradition I've missed.

What a very cool tradition! I am totally up for a surprise tea. :)
