Ancient Alphabet challenge – D

Another good one!  A great quality white tea. Nothing new to say really, and it’s a sipdown.   ALSO another company that I genuinely planned on ordering from and I THOUGHT has now closed up shop, but my virus scanner is telling me is a risk for my computer if I visit their site.
2022 sipdowns:  50

Lochan Tea is alive and well, and just sent me a huge list of 2022 first flushes. I’ll be doing an order when the SF Darjeelings come out, so let me know if you want anything (though considering the rate at which I send packages out, you might get it in the fall!).

Leafhopper – that is very awesome & thoughtful of you but I currently have no teas I deem fresh enough to swap with anyone. I have been trying to drink what I have – definitely no orders probably for almost a year now. Thank you though!

I understand the problem of having too much tea! You could always pay me for the teas plus shipping, but that could get expensive and would make your stash even bigger. :)

I better not right now, will refrain but thanks again. :D

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!
