2019 Year of the Sipdown Challenge

Y’all got me – out of curiosity I went and counted how many sipdowns I’m at thus far in January, and the total is actually nineteen. So, essentially, one for every day of the month.

I do feel like it’s a different sort of comparison though given the size of my tea stash and the nature of my job, though.

I’m doing well with my goal of sipping down swapped and purchased samples, with 40 sample sipdowns so far.

I’m thinking I’d like to set some goals for myself with small rewards. More motivation is always a good thing!

I’m not doing so well if the goal is reduce cupboard size. I’ve sipped down two teas and taken in about 30! I have a bad case of Shiny! Want! ;)

Total for Jan: 7

I made my January goal this morning: 15. I’ll have at least a couple more before February arrives. Keep going, everyone!

End of January update!

I ended up with 10 full sipdowns and 69 sample sipdowns so far.

I only have a few flavored swap samples left now, hooray!

January total: 18

My January Sipdown Total was 21! That was a fair mix of single-serving samplers and larger boxes/bags of tea. I’d say my biggest “target” during January was my bagged teas cupboard and clearing out my Par Avion Teas tins.

Finished off the last of my Par Avion tins today!

Tea inventory is down to 514… I think I can feasibly get below 500 by the end of February? That is a goal!

Three days into Feb and I have 3 sipdowns. Two samples, and a full sized tin.

As of this morning, I’m halfway to my February goal, and a third of the way to my stretch goal. How is everyone else doing?

Plus 7 more sipdowns in February so far – mostly oolong. I need to work on my older teas.
