Another chance to this tea went well.
The green base isn’t phenomenal, it is pretty much boring but I noticed apples, pomergranate and earthy sage. There was some hints of cloves and cinnamon, which made it warming effect a bit which I liked this quite cold morning (around 15 °C only) and overall it was nice. Expected more fruity though.
I checked Steepster after two days again, 40 notices… many tasting notes. And I feel meh. I fel like I ran out of my passion writing them. Like who cares about same teas I am drinking? I don’t have any new ones. But you all care. Is it some panic attack effect?

Martin, I think you’ll find your interest in tea will ebb and flow. And sometimes you just have nothing to say-which is perfectly fine. I’ve been away from Steepster for 4 years and just came back recently. I never stopped caring about tea or drinking it, but my life, interests and energy were just elsewhere.
15C sounds like our fall. I bet that hot cuppa was nice this morning.
What mrmopar said! I’d love a 59 degree Fahrenheit day this month. Not going to happen. A lot of the USA is currently due for some scorching summer temperatures in the 90s (Fahrenheit) and above. Enjoy your hot tea and your temperate weather, Martin. : )
I have gone months at a time without writing a note! I think it is normal to just have times when you don’t really feel like drinking tea (gasp!) or don’t feel like writing a note – or reading lots of notes. And that’s all okay!
I care what you’re drinking because now I want to find this tea in my stash and have it tomorrow. :D
White Antlers: yep, I am still very interested in teas, but not interested in writing it down. Maybe I should not take it as a mandatory to write it down. Maybe I just need to get into better teas which are more interesting to write about. You probably noticed, I am drinking mostly tea bags, of companies you guys never heard of, because European. How would you even get them? Maybe just from swap with me? I don’t know, I shouldn’t care… but I feel I am boring with my tasting notes. But yeah, maybe I just need to have life, interests and energy (all three honestly) somewhere else too.
mrmopar, White Antlers: Come here and enjoz hot cuppas with me :D.
Ashmanra: No, I don’t think it will happen I don’t feel like drinking tea, although I have two days without tea just because I didn’t wanted any. It happens. But thanks saying it is normal I don’t feel like writing note, or reading them. I am somehow overthinking recently (are those panic attack effects or just tiredness of nightshifts, or both?)
tea-sipper: I hope you have found it and prepared it. It is not one of the greatest teas, but it was comforting yesterday!
Yeah, please don’t make tasting notes mandatory for yourself.. you will be sick of writing them quicker. If I was writing notes for EVERY tea I drank, that would be exhausting. For some people, that is the point of Steepster, but not for me. :D
I’m in agreement with everyone here. Sometimes you feel like writing down every little thing and sometimes you don’t feel like writing anything whatsoever. I say do what feels good for you in the moment. I enjoy reading your notes and do care about what you’re writing, but I also definitely understand needing a break from it every now and then. I’m sure most everyone here does. :)
I think this is normal. I also go months without writing a tasting note because I’m drinking the same teas. It’s fun to read about teas I’ll never get to drink, if only to hear your reactions to how bad some of them are. :D
Feel free to send your 15C temperatures to Ontario! We’re about to have several days that are over 30C, and we could use a break.
tea-sipper: yep, I know it’s not mandatory. But I kinda like the idea that I share teas you won’t taste. Like really unique blends, weird companies and my stupid thoughts about it. But yesterday was a tea-free day again (I just didn’t had time) and I wasn’t making a big deal of it :)
Shae: Yep. Exactly; sometimes I write everything, sometimes I write nothing. Almost. I am glad that you like my notes anyway.
Leafhopper: Some are pretty much bad. I blame the age most of them (huge bags section), sometimes they are bad on their own even fresh (I look at you Loyd teas). I would send, but it will heat up meanwhile above the ocean :D
