So Steepster has been a bit on the fritz for me over the last two days, but it looks like its holding steady at the moment, which is great, as I’ve been busy!
This is a sipdown. I am happy to have tried it, and its been a generally pleasant experience, but I doubt I will repurchase it.
Yay! Cupboard progress! I am eager to get the summer flavors out, and bring in my autumnal favorites.

Oh dear, Steepster seems to be having some hiccups. For some reason not all of the teas in my cupboard can be reviewed right now, meaning the two cups I drank this morning are currently unloggable.
Its been a while since I’d noticed any problems with the platform.
Ah well!

I have once again moved past the thrill of a sipdown, and am now once again in the weeds of working on my sipdowns in the more ordinary way.
Still plenty of this left. Its nice enough, but I never quite get the full strawberry flavor, the juiciness, that I experience from an actual berry.

Well the sipdown fever has finally made me crack open this little sample, which I have had for years, and has sat neglected, as it just isn’t my thing.
I don’t like mango, I could care less about papaya, and mate is not something I’ve really tried so far.
But! This was not an unpleasant cup. There was a light fruitiness to it that was actually nice.
Still, I won’t rank it, because its not my thing.
But it is a sipdown, and I am now at 50 teas! Woo!

First work cup of the morning! I was paying no attention to this while it steeped, and it came out really nice, which is annoying. Because I wasn’t paying attention I don’t know how to replicate it! Just my luck.
My sipdown this morning makes me within one teas distance of my first tier sipdown goal of 50. I was sort of hoping I would get there before this weekend. Maybe? I am not sure, and it probably won’t be with this tea, but I shall give it a go.
Almost there. Then the autumnal teas can grace my cupboard once more!

Backlogged from last night.
This stuff smells heavenly. Honey & vanilla are two of my favorite flavors, so to have their delicate scents wafting from a cup of this tea is a beautiful way to spend an evening.

And sipdown for this batch of teas!
I have, as I usually do, enjoyed this tea. Its light, crisp, refreshing and just an all around good summer tea, despite the fact that its released with Lupicias winter offerings.
But now, a sipdown!

Boy this is nice. And it just hit the spot this afternoon, in that way that only proper cups of tea can.
Ahhh.

I cannot get a real feel for this. I drink it and then have a bit of tea amnesia. What did I think of it? Did I enjoy it? Did I have a good time drinking it? I didn’t hate it, but my impression seems to be going down with each glass. Not in the “its failing me” way, just in the “I am not finding this memorable” way. A tea that recedes.
Well, the good news is that it won’t be heavily mourned when it gets sipped down!

The last gasps of summer are still upon us. I cannot be said to be very happy as decorative pumpkins are out, but it is still 100 degrees.
This tea is just pleasant. A very crisp sort of grape, and one I am enjoying very much. If you like or are curious about grape teas, when this one rolls around again in December, I recommend it!
