Today I reorganized the tea cupboard and logged all my teas. Since November, I’ve increased tea count by about 100 teas. Crazy. Gotta work on reducing my cupboard by half.
In pursuit of this goal, I tried to drink my small samples today.
Tea- Artic Fire by Anna’s Tea Shop from Midwest Teafest
Smells fruity. 212F 8oz, 3min
Tastes vaguely fruity black, nothing memorable.
Flavors: Fruity
I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.
I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.
I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.
I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.
My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.
Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.

If it makes you feel any better, I used to be at like 120 and have since gotten down to under 40, so you can do it!
Thanks! Part of the problem is that I have large quantities of some teas. I’ll need to dredge my willpower up and not order tea.
