I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter
Today’s tea from my Tea Advent Calendar is Rooibos Noel. I’m not a huge rooibos fan, but other rooibos teas from Adagio have been pretty good, so I’m looking forward to trying this.
The tea contains rooibos tea, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, apple pieces, orange, natural spicy cinnamon flavor, rose petals, natural almond flavor, and natural orange flavor. When I opened the packet, it had a strong cinnamon scent, and reminded me a bit of mulling spices.
I steeped it for 5 minutes in 8 ounces of 212ºF hot water.
Unsweetened, it tasted okay. I could taste the cinnamon, and maybe a bit of the orange, but it also tasted grassy, maybe because of the rooibos. I added sugar, and it improved the flavor—I could taste more of the cinnamon, but I still tasted the grassy aftertaste that I didn’t really like.
