drank Apricot Green by Adagio Teas
4374 tasting notes

Thank you Michelle for the mystery sale! I love Adagio! The leaves of this one are so dark I thought it was really the black tea blend and not the green. (The leaves look closer to the black tea picture than the green.) I oversteeped it for five-six minutes. If I knew it was green I would have went for two. Somehow it wasn’t bitter city. I really love the apricot flavor and there is a creaminess (somehow?) to it that is interesting, so I can’t wait to try this with a normal steep time. I’ll hold off the rating until then.

PET OWNER SIDE NOTE: I just wanted to warn any pet owners to never ever give your dog’s flea medication to your cat. My mom accidentally did this and there were some scary times where it looked like the cat wasn’t going to make it even after going to the vet and getting medication to stop some ridiculous tremors. (He has to take a pill by mouth syringe every 12 hours which obviously isn’t very fun in itself.) Apparently there are different chemicals in dog flea medication that aren’t in cat flea medication that can give cats seizures. I think my good buddy was almost gone and I don’t think he is out of the woods yet, but it seems the worst might be over. Please never ever confuse the two flea medications! A lesson learned the hard way. He better never get a flea again in his life!

I read this to my wife. She, like me, had never heard this information. Thanks for the warning. Scary for sure.

oh good! I had no idea about this (not like I really had a reason to know about this anyway) so I thought I should warn anyone I could.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
