An Ode to Tea challenge #2– Z
A new tea!  I don’t have many teas for ‘Z’, so this won’t be finished today.  I also don’t think this will be a great note, as I have so much anxiety lately, I just feel nauseous all the time. (Some of it Covid inspired – so many people have vaccines but it’s getting bad again.  I can’t even type that without tearing up a bit.)
Plenty of lemon here, it’s more like a lemon verbena which might be good on another day but with my nauseousness just seems sickly and cloying?  Probably not the best day to review this one, so I will probably redo it later on.
Nineteen actual sipdowns for this challenge.  I really like this challenge as a way to do a lightning round of hangers-on teas that are lingering about!  I will probably keep doing this in the future. :D

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

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!
