Sipdown (1493)!
Well, I did it! I’m proud of myself for quickly crushing through this little sample pouch and finishing (I’m pretty sure) all of it within a one month time span.
I steeped this last mug up while catching up on some Critical Role earlier this evening. I had it in one of those fill it yourself type of teabags and I never removed the teabag so over the course of the three plus hour live stream it got… strong. Very strong.
Also cold, because I’m not great at remembering to finish up the mug quickly when I get pulled into doing something else. The taste was really, really thick and lemon heavy but a “lemon oil” kind of slick citronella type lemon and not something super sweet or fresh and bright. The finish was very herbaceous, with a strong nettle type note coming out. It’s not the best cup of this I’ve made it was was still enjoyable and it felt like I was doing something good for myself – even with it being cold.
Now I need to pick another herbal blend from my very, very over stuffed sample drawer to tackle next…
