Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – October Tea #5-A coffee tea

Oh no!  I never wrote a note for this one – probably because it is the same blend from another tea shop and I bought this one later on to replace the other.  Not even sure what the other one was, at the moment.  But this blend has coffee beans in it!  So it suits this prompt.  I REALLY like the mix of ingredients here - chocolate chips, caramel, hazelnut, yogurt, coffee beans- even the Roman chamomile is a great addition.  The flavor fades a bit with my steeping parameters in my current location, to a less distinct flavor, so I should probably save this one for home.  I also drank this with a Boston Creme Donut POPTART.   And the poptart nails the flavor of a Boston Creme Donut, as I feel that particular donut has always been too sweet for me (which somehow I say about nothing else in existence, other than a Boston Creme Pie).  Not my Poptart (or donut) of choice!  Why isn’t there a Steepster for Poptarts anyway??

I am such a sucker for a Boston Creme donut! I’m always on the lookout for a vegan version. :)

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.

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!
