And this is a sipdown! Farewell, Malachi! It won’t be forever, that’s for certain.

Most of my favorite things in life go best with cold weather. My hobbies, my interests, my wardrobe all leans towards the colder weather. Nuts that I live somewhere that’s almost overwhelmingly hot at all times.
But it has cooled down, and it looks like its going to hold, and I can sit, wrapped in scarves, and drinking tea, which improves everything about life.
Still not a good tea, in my book, but a warm cup.

Whew, a busy morning. I need a nice fortifying cup of tea, and this fits the bill.
I’ll be both glad when I’m done with this, and a little sorry. Its been solid!

I have finally hit the proper weather for this tea! Cold in the mornings, with the hint of frost in the air. That’s when blends with Lapsangs really sing.
And so I have a very satisfying mug of this to start my morning out right.

Backlogged from last night-
I might have panicked a little. I got the email that my favorite mint tea, Smith Teamakers Silent Night, had gone on sale, and I hit buy faster than I could think.
So another tea to meddle with my sipdown streak is on the way. Whoops.
So I had another cup of this last night, to help while I was writing.
This is a basic peppermint, which is not ment as a dismissal. I like a basic peppermint in my cupboard, it serves its place well!

I have found this teas perfect use- to starve of frostbite in an overly cold office! (I have convinced the boss not to make the thermostat go any lower, but have yet to convince him that a few notches warmer might be a very welcome thing…..)

I am freezing. I feel the icy hand of death on my shoulder, and its all because my boss keeps it so cold in the office.
I am huddled under my shawl, and clutching the tea for warmth. Keep me warm, beverage!

Another tea that had been untasted in my cupboard.
I brewed this last night as I worked on my knitting, and while it was a nice accompaniment, it is not a knock your socks off tea. Not by long shot. I didn’t make a lot of impression, I’m afraid.
Oh well.

Part of my sipdown mania is fueled by the fact that I have plenty of teas I have not yet tasted in my cupboard! Shameful. Time to get sipping.
I bought this on a little trip I took back in September, and have not yet tried. Well, the madness stops today! A pot of this shall be my morning treat.
This is a nice chai. Its got a nice spiciness without being overwhelming, so its a very warm cup of spices.
I’m glad I have this! Its really nice!

Golly I have a lot of this one as well. Meh!
This will be a joy when it is all sipped down. As it is, its supremely unimpressive.
Well, each cup will bring me one closer to that golden hour of sipdown.
