Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – July 2024 Tea #9 – A tea you will re-order

How and why was this not in my cupboard? argh. oh wait… I think it was because I bought it when my dad was in the hospital years ago and I had so few tea options with me.  I have a few teabags left.  I can’t believe I have only logged this ONCE.  It might be my favorite tea possibility offered in a grocery store. I would 1,000% buy it again. When I see it, I will scoop it up. It is great when I am craving pumpkin (on this rainy day).  And if the only reason I would buy it again IS BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY ADD PUMPKIN FLAKES TO THE BLEND then that is good enough of a reason for me.  This might be the only pumpkin tea to actually have pumpkin. (But PLEASE prove me wrong in the comments!) Even my beloved, magical Spiced Pumpkin Pie from Bird & Blend doesn’t have pumpkin in it. Raising the rating from 77.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Pumpkin, Spices

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!
