Whew, sipdown, meaning that I am officially under 80 teas now. This one started out alright. Rather interesting with its strong peanutty flavour despite the fact that it doesn’t contain any. Nice vanilla honey notes woven throughout too, but I still got sick of it after a while.

I’m so close to sipping down a few teas myself! I’m at 50 teas, but 24 of them are small samples in the 24 days of tea from DAVIDs, so I’m counting only 26 teas, lol :P .
I want to sip down 1-2 teas before Tuesday next week. I’m finally visiting a tea shop on the other side of town and I promised myself I’d get to 25 or less teas before buying anymore.
Haha yeah, the sample sizes sure inflate the number and hence hardly count. And I do the exact same, motivate myself to get down to a certain number before even daring stepping into a store or making an order. I’m sure you’ll be able to do it by next week!
Samples are killer on my numbers! I feel so bad about them too because I want to sit down and actually think about them, but most of my teas are drunk in my travel mugs.
I was thinking today that travel mug tea-drinking deserves its own section altogether. Flavoured teas, many anyway, lose a lot in transit. I think the silicone gobbles up the good bits.
Now that I have tried PBC with Chocolate Macaroon, a tip from Spencer I think it was, my enjoyment of the tea has increased. I picked up a bit more just today as DT is clearing out its fall collection, so last chance.
Travel mugs are like a necessary evil – everything tastes different in them! And not always in a good way. :-(
Yes, +1 to the idea of having a specific section for travel mug teas! they really do affect the taste of so many teas.
I do like my 16 oz timolino from DAVIDs: I find that since its metal it doesn’t hold tastes or smells that much. But when I’m using my travel mug I’m at work so I use that as an opportunity to use up teas I’m not as crazy about since I’m not paying attention as much to the flavors anyways, haha.
I do the same Kristal! It’s an excellent way to get sipdowns.
My 12 oz. timolino from DT messes with and absorbs flavours far less than my carry mug from DT. Currently, I carry mostly black teas. And new favourite DT Banana Nut Bread.
Sipdowns, yes. Brilliant idea for the handy and necessary evil.
Oh, another thing. I came across a suggestion to try making the PBC with chocolate milk. An intriguing possibility.
I could totally see that work!
