Sign me up! I only have 120. When I compare that to the 400’s that some of you are at I sort feel like I should relax but… I really should take control of it now. Thanks Terri for guiding us through this process. (It’s like a twelve step program, right?)

120. Just a Trio of Tulsi – Just Organic Tea
119. Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish – 52 Teas
118. Monkey Picked Oolong – Teavana

It is kind of like a 12 step program (& I’ve been to my share,LOL)

This list reads like a Bloomingdales catalog for Tea Drunks, some really nice tea here. I thought this sip down would be painful to read. Nice job!

and we’re just getting started! :)

As part of my 12 step program and completely cleaned out my tea cabinets. It’s great to find tea that has been forgotten. I hope it does’t distract me from my sip downs.

117. Energizing Chai – Zen Tea
116. Gen Mai Cha – no name on package
115. Tropical Sunshine Herbal – Simple Loose Leaf

Not doing as well today. Only got in one sipdown but taking that one out of my cupboard dropped me down under 200 and it dropped my under 10 KG. I just need to keep trending in the right direction.
Phoenix Mountain DanCong – Verdant – 199

(Never mind – my last AliExpress order is in the city – will be back over 200 and back over 10KG)

LOL

Oh man. I wish I had a cupboard full of all the things you are sipping down. I actually hate sipdowns because I get a bit panicky about what if I really want that in the future. (I don’t buy very often). Sometimes it’s very satisfying though! I’ve got nothing in sipdownable quantities, but I’ll sip along. :)

I hear you! Especially on a tea that I really really love, I will hoard that last cup or 2 forever :)

Sad day today – I drank the last of my beloved
Black Pearls – Mandala – 198

They were the oldest (other than pu’erh) in my cupboard. It needed to be done, but I will miss them….

I’ve gotten myself a terrible little cold, so I’m taking advantage of it by drinking up all of the free samples I’ve received with orders, and other teas that I’m not super fond of.

Hot Cinnamon Spice – Harney
Supreme Earl Grey – Harney
Organic English Breakfast – Harney
Genmaicha Extra Green – Den’s
Sencha – Den’s
Momoko – Lupicia
Double Knit Blend -A&D Damn Fine Tea

This Sunday I’m hosting the Annual Harp Society Tea Party that I hold every year at my house (being president), so I spent the day cleaning my house. I also spent the day drinking tea. Here’s a few more sip downs:
447. Marangi Assam 2013 – Norbu – From the BBBBox
446. Wild Black Yunnan – David’s – Another one from the BBBB
445. Family Heritage Charcoal Fired Oolong #265, Taiwan Tea Crafts this is from my most recent box from Sil, sent to her by Jenn
444. Bulang Gong Ting – Mandala – I drank some, & I’m sending the rest to Sil. I’m pretty sure I have a bigger bag of this up in the archives, but I’m still counting the sip down, because I think it was listed twice in my database. So There!
443. 2008 Liu An Tea in Basket – YS – This one has a great history! I wanted to try it, but didn’t want to buy the whole basketful. As it turns out, Tea Explorer did, & he shared a generous sample with Boychik, who shared a generous sample with Stephanie, who shared it with me, & after I drank some today I put the last bit in Sil’s box. It’s headed your way, sister!

Sil select said

the box you JUST mailed or a second one hahaha

It’s in the box I just mailed, LOL.
Also, don’t worry, I’m not actually sending another box for awhile. The only teas I have that you haven’t tried are puerh, & I’m too busy right now to chisel off samples. Maybe for your birthday :)

Sil select said

mmmm i have a second box almost ready to go to you lol…just want to get through a few more what-cha samples and camelia sinesis so i can include those for you since i know you haven’t tried them yet.

Take your time, no rush!
