drank Random Steepings by Various Artists
1154 tasting notes

Two sipdowns today from Mastress Alita’s March sipdown challenge:
- A discontinued/otherwise unavailable-for-purchase tea
- A tea from a woman-owned company
Years ago, a friend traveled to Spain and brought me back a floral berry herbal tea. I’ve been stretching it out but finally finished it off today. It’s a sad sipdown, both because it can’t be replaced and because it was a really good blend – juicy and sweet without any tartness.
I also finished off the last of my Te Company Ruby Brew, easily one of my favorite teas of theirs. This is another one that I had been holding on to and stretching out but I finally decided that it was time to give it a proper goodbye and make space for other teas (though I’ll probably replace it eventually). It doesn’t actually taste like Oriental Beauty but it reminds me of Oriental Beauty… I think because of its sweetness, gentle roast, and satisfying mouthfeel.
