I neglected to do this Jan 1, so today its here while i drink an unlabelled sample from someone at work.
Final Count of 2015: 148 (goal was 50 hahaha)
2015 I tried 514 new teas, bringing my total up to 2730 teas tried (roughly) since i joined steepster. That’s less than previous years which i think leads me to believe that i might finally be figuring out what i like/want :)

Good grief. That’s a lot of teas tasted!
actual count is higher given that i’ve had teas not logged…but it’s fun to think about.
Wow. Iron kidneys indeed.
Are you actually drinking cups of these teas? Or sampling and pouring the rest into a nearby potted plant?
Also, are you keeping excel charts of your tea progress? Or how to you keep order on all this information?
And how do you keep track of all the teas you currently have on hand? So many questions.
hahahaha
1) i’m always drinking the teas unless they’re just too terrible to drink, then it’s sample and toss – not may teas are jsut not drinkable for me
2) tea count, i just use steepster tea ratings – it’ tracks unique teas i’ve tried it’s not 100% accurate but close enough. Each year i just go back in my notes and find last years total and subtract it from this years for the difference
3) i use steepster cupboard for # of teas and i have a spreadsheet that has all my teas, when i purchased them (so i drink old stuff first); quantity of the tea, whether i’d reorder it etc.
I think I may restart my spreadsheet again to help restart my love of tea. Maybe if I see how much I have (and how old some of it is), I may be more inclined to drink it. That will be one of my projects when I get home again.
Also, you may have missed your mark a bit but I would blame Paris and all the sneaky tea surprises you got do recently. So, it’s not your fault lol.
@variatea….total first world problems. i went to paris and poor me didn’t make my sipdown goal as a result lol hope you figure out your tea when you get home – if you need some new things to try to spark your taste buds, feel free to come shop at my place
Thank you. This will take me a while to mull over.
