Thus we begin my 2020 countdown with posts. Be weary, I will be having thirteen posts coming your way. These are wrap ups for book challenges, as well as wrap ups for the month. There are a few other lists that I think you may enjoy! The posts will drop once every hour until I reach New Years in my time zone.
Let’s get started!
Month: December (2019)
Rosehip, Hibiscus & Cherry by Ahmad Tea
This tea is made from rosehip peel, hibiscus flower, cherry pieces, and natural cherry flavor.
This tea has an amazing bright red color. My goodness. It smells like cherries, which is nice. However I’m not a fan of the taste. It’s not a strong cherry taste, but I don’t like cherries in general for taste in drinks. Its not overpowering, which is probably thanks to the rose and the hibiscus.
This tea is caffeine-free.
Rating: 3/5
Creamy Orange Lapacho by Tranquilo Teas
This tea is made from lapacho, orange peel, orange slices, and flavoring.
There was a whole orange slice in the bag (dried of course). I knew there would be peels but an orange slice? I 100% left it in the bag to make sure that the rest of the tea would taste the same, but it smells so fruity and yummy. I’m going to hate it. I just know it. (since I never seem to like fruit teas)
Wow, this is such a creamy orange flavor. I think… Oh no. I was wrong? I like this? I do. It’s light, sweet, creamy, and a really interesting combination that reminds me of creme soda. I really like this. WOW.
This tea is caffeine-free.

Tulsi Mellow Mint by Davidson’s Organic Teas
This tea is made from organic tulsi, organic peppermint, and organic spearmint.
It smells like mint. No surprise there. Mint taste wise, this is probably one of my favorites for the year. I also love mint tea so I’m biased, but I really liked this one.
This tea is caffeine-free.
Rating: 5/5
Calm by Healthy Teas
This tea is made from lavender, chamomile, and chrysanthemum.
Upon placing this in the bag, I realized that this is literally flowers in the bag. I am in awe. It smells so good and looks so beautiful. This combination was designed for me. There is nothing that I could want more, so just to end on a positive note I’m going to go with my gut.
This tea is caffeine-free.

This box, was close to being the best box that I have gotten this year! Here’s to hoping next year is just as good!
From this point on, all my posts will be book related. Normal posting will resume next week. This week you will see a lot of changes to the blog, for how things are sorted, and the likes. Also, the Book Rating Official Rules will drop tomorrow on the 1st. I still do not have the photoshop templates done, but I will soon.
See you soon,
MM
