February 2024 Steepster Sipdown Challenge — A tea bought “in-store”

Sipdown! (12 for February | 36 for 2024)

I knew David’s Tea was a likely culprit for this prompt. I was blessed to live in the USA and have two David’s Tea stores in my hometown (and worked for a while at one of them :)). I also had a bucket list to visit every DT store (Canada and USA) in person someday, but this of course was before the pandemic.

This tea is one of my first loves (of green tea, of David’s Tea, etc.). I found this package labeled 2 oz with enough left inside for 2 hot/plain tumblers. It was from March 7, 2019 (store #264 represent!), long enough ago the tea has a different name now, but the mix of everything were not faded at all, and the tumblers still tasted great.

Glad to sip this down to fill the prompt, have to find in my stash the other misc. bags/tins because surely this isn’t the only amount I have left!?! And someday when it’s not in my stash and fall (since I believe this is now a fall only tea for DT) grab a bag.

Thanks, Ashmanra for this prompt. It was a nice nostalgia factor. :)

My goal in May or June is to visit the Toronto location! I feel like I’m wasting my passport lol

ashmanra thank you. it’s not really secret more like my tea is not organized so could be in any random box or bin in my spare bedroom or basement. Need to get things under control! sigh
MadHatterTeaReview I think they still have a few left in the Toronto area. Put in your backseat and I’ll come along!

Not a huge fan: rooibos/honeybush, black tea, puerh.

I post here and there on Instagram, need to start posting there more regularly.

I love to share/swap/take in homeless teas… if you have something (even if it’s just enough for one cup – for me one cup is a 16-20 oz size) to share / want to swap / etc. feel free to send me a message. I don’t have any allergies and love trying new things! :)
