Gack, I over steeped this today and it turned out bitter. Gack!

And this is a sipdown!
I liked the idea of this tea more than I actually liked the execution. The flavors didn’t quite meld together the way I was hoping for, but it wasn’t in any way unpleasant.
I don’t think its going to be a repeater, but I’d not turn a cup of it down, if offered.

Its a cooler morning, and we’re about to have a little streak of rain and cold, which makes me happy.
I’d really like to get some of my spicier teas drunk down before the hot weather really begins in earnest, and I won’t feel like reaching for Lapsangs or Chais.
This is quite spicy, but I keep thinking that its not as well balanced as I would hope it would be. But its not unpleasant, and its such a strong flavor that it really helps on the mornings like today), when I am so tired that it feels like an effort to sit upright.

And a sipdown!
This was a resounding meh. I never warmed to it, and it will not be making a repeat appearance in the cupboard.
Guys, I’m starting to freak myself out with my sipdown prowess. How have I done this? Surely some hitherto unknown secret stash of tea is going to jump out at me?

I am not sure how it is only Tuesday. I mean, the week has been packed, work-wise, and I feel like I could use another long weekend.
Sigh.
In the mean time, tea!
This blend is an inoffensive thing- I don’t dislike it, but it never properly pulls me out of my stupor to make me pay attention to it.

This little blend has been waiting all winter for the warm weather to return, and here we are!
I really like rose blends, so take that into account with my review. This is a damn good example of the breed, a rose blend that keeps the floral aspect without ever turning into soap.
Nom.

Tea of the morning!
The festival of marshmallow chickens has begun, as has Camp Nanowrimo. Its going to be a busy Sunday, all together, and so I’m going to need a lot of delicious, delicious tea to get me through.
Yes, I am pro-Peep. Fight me.

So I finished this off the other day, and am not sorry to see it go. I never hated it, but it just never really clicked with it.
But now its a sipdown, so yay!

And suddenly it feels like the beginning of summer. Time for the fruity blends!
Nom. I love this tea beyond all reason. A pot of it just makes me happy.

I probably overleafed this cup, but it was that or have two slightly underleafed cups, and I live boldly. What can I say.
This is a sipdown! I don’t really like chocolate teas, but the addition of the cherry keeps it from being too cloying.
Still, this tea falls squarely into the camp of “I liked trying it, but I’m not going to buy it again.”
Sipdown!
