Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – April 2023 Tea #8 -April 29 – National Sense of Smell Day: Drink your most aromatic tea!

I brought this one in the gallon bag of teas for the trip, specifically for the aromatic prompt for today.  It sure is floral!  One of my floral faves.  Unfortunately, allergies today are preventing me from much sense of smell today anyway.  But otherwise, it’s a lovely, perfect base for flavors of violet and rose. And a great balance of them too. Not a sipdown.

Had no idea that was even a holiday! I’m glad to celebrate with some beautiful tea :).

Neither did I, but ashmanra alerted us to this odd holiday! haha

That sounds like a lovely tea! How have I overlooked it on their website?

ashmanra – probably because you can only get this blend as four ounces unless you grab it in the author sampler? I tried it in the sampler and loved it, so then bought a tin of it.

I have far too much rose tea at the moment, but once I get low I think I will try this one!

I hope you like it when you try it!

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.

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!
