I realized the other day that I’m feeling some small amount of stress about the amount of tea I currently have, and its starting to edge in on my enjoyment of those teas. I’m starting to think about un seasonal flavors and sipdown potential, rather than “ooh, I like this one!”
I’m going to try to relax a little about it. For the time being, I’ve got a tea buying ban on, and that helps, and I’m looking to work on the teas that are “autumnal” as it turns into summer.
That said, this is still a lovely pumpkin tea. Rich and layered, with a good balance of spices and squash. I’ll certainly have this again in Autumn, but I’m working on drinking it down now. Not quite there, but soon!

I totally understand what you mean. Lately I’ve been working on teas I want to be done with rather than drink for enjoyment.
When I got stressed like that, I picked out things that I never reach for and had a stash sale. Then I turned around and bought more…
I have sent teas to people I think will like them more than I do, I have packed up extras in a box and given them to friends and family, I have sworn I will not order more tea, and then…ah well. Fortunately, my youngest daughter says she usually doesn’t care what she is drinking when she is writing or drawing, so she asks what teas I would like to have finished!
With spring/summer upon us, it’s a little easier not to succumb to new tea lust—there’s much in my kitchen to ice down and drink up before fall.
