Took awhile to get my cupboard and spreadsheet updated so that I would have a new count. I’m pretty sure this is right and it works with my spreadsheet but my Steepster cupboard to spreadsheet is messed up – need to find that error…. Uggggg

I’m a little behind on my projected ‘1 sip down per day’ plan for this month, but still making slow progress
328. Lady Grey – Twinnings – I put this in Tony’s teapot on sunday morning, lol
327. Persian Princess – Devotea
326. Qimen Anhui black – Verdant – finally released from the hoard…
325. Da Hu Sai Village Black 2014 – YS – Sil – I made the last of this into a cold brew. This is not a True Sipdown, because I still have plenty of this tea, but it is a sip down of the baggy Sil sent to me, & since I had it listed twice in my spreadsheet, I’m counting it!! So There!!

324. Light Roast Wild Tree Purple Varietal Black Tea of Dehong Spring 2013 YS

yay ;) i really wish they sell refills. what am i going to do with their empty tins?

Sil select said

i give the tins to other ppl when they comment on liking them :)

I have tons of empty tins from various places. I clean them up & reuse them, making lame labels (some of them are adorable, at least in little terri’s imagination). Sometimes I use them for other things too.

I need to get serious again about drinking down my cupboard….

Me too! I’ve sort of slacked off a little, in part because I’ve drank up a lot of the small quantities, but the truth is, I still have a pile of samples from friends, I just am not drinking them, LOL. Maybe today…

I can’t believe it’s already the 5th day of May! My sip down extravaganza sort of went on hold for a few weeks, I got real busy with an orchestra gig & gardening, but I’m ready to re-commit & am starting May with 324 teas in my collection. Let the Extravaganza begin!
Again!

I’m going to take inspiration from you and try and get some more out of my cupboard. I’m on holidays (after tomorrow) and hope to drink a bunch then. :)

Let’s do it!

Hey, you’re doing better than I am right now!

321. Nepalese “Chiya” (Chai) – I’m not sure where this tea originated, but I got this sample from Dag Wedin. It’s actually pretty good!
320. Miyazaki Oolong Kanayamidori – Yuuki-Cha – Dag
That’s the last of my teas from Dag!
319. Sleeping Bear Blend – Whispering Pines – from Sil

I’ve gotten in a few Sipdowns:
318. Autumn Harvest Laotian Green – verdant
317. Red Queen Cupcake – Butiki
316. Black Tea – Nepal – this was a sample from Stephanie
315. Imperial Mojiang Autumn 2013 – Yunnan Sourcing. To be honest, I still have a bag of the 2014 Spring rendition, but they were listed separately in my inventory, so that’s that!

You’re doing great – that’s averaging a little over one a day!!! :))
I have a few to log, but I need to update my spreadsheet (I’ve had more incoming). Maybe spend tomorrow updating.

I played a gig this evening that resulted in money being deposited into my Playpal account. Part of me wants to immediately order teas, LOL, but I’ve been on a tea buying hiatus for quite awhile, and in a way it feels good to just drink what I have, cuz face it, I still have tons of TEA!
On a side note, I sent an email 3 months ago asking Jalam tea to removed me from their monthly club, not because I don’t like the teas, but because my paypal account was empty. They never did. I’m still getting charged monthly & receiving a package. So I added one tea this month.

my sipdowns are soooo slow.

Want me to send you a box of single serving samples? That will give you some stuff to sip down…lol

314. Pure Bud Bi Luo Chun – Yunnan Sourcing
