Sipdown 15 – 2025

Another delicious Tezumi matcha. Surprisingly good quality for the price point. Fresh, bright green. A bit of subtle astringency. Really easy to drink.

Also has a cat on the label, so an instant winner for me.

Sample from a recent order. This is nice. Halva and sweet potato.

Tasty Dragonwell. Mild, no bitterness. Nutty with a strong chestnut flavor.

Sipdown 14- 2025

Drank through this quickly, but really slacking on the sipdowns so far this year.

It got cold again, so wanted something cozy. This absolutely fits the bill. Really delicious hojicha, nice and roasty.

Finished off a bag. Another favorite and something I can drink every day. Perfect jasmine black tea.

Made hot, and it’s surprisingly delicious. Not a trace of bitterness, and a nice balance between the orange and vanilla.

Finished off a pouch. Bottom of the bag had lots of vanilla, so the last cup was particularly delicious.

For the last year or so, I’ve really been neglecting all of my non-black teas. I hadn’t even really been drinking flavored black teas often. But, the straight black teas in the morning have started to give me heartburn (old) and so I’m venturing back into my non-black teas and finding some old favorites. This is one of those. I loved it years ago and have quite a stash. It’s still tasty! Creamy lemon with a nice shortbread/cakey base.

This is delicious and easy to drink. No trace of bitterness, well-balanced grassiness. Slightly nutty. Sad to see it’s out of stock, because it’s a great value for the quality and I probably would’ve purchased some more.
