Little Terri's Long Awaited Ultimate Sipdown Extravaganza!!!
I haven’t added in the teas I got from boychik, so this isn’t really true, but was hoping to drink most of them without adding….
Adagio – Mocha Nut Mate – 218
Grandville Island Tea Co. – Candied Almond – 217
My local tea guy – ZSXZ – 216
LOL The boychik teas won’t get me caught up to you, but I also have Verdant and Yunnan Sourcing incoming and I’ve been looking at Crimson Lotus….I have to stop….
Sip down of the day
290. 2005 Menghai Yellow Label Ripe Puerh – Tribute Tea
I got through a few teas over the weekend, & today with my grand daughter.
289. Imperial Grade Jin Jun Mei from Tong Mu Guan Village Sp 2013 – YS
288. 1999 Aged Muzha TGY, lot 235 – TTC
287. Cape Jasmine Oolong – Tea Ave.
286. Ginger Lily Oolong – Tea Ave.
285. Rose Oolong – Tea Ave.
284. Cacao Chai – Traveling Tea
283. 1993 Family Reserved Aged Oolong, lot 238 – TTC
Since Terri said that I didn’t need to stop, I should just be having fun….I did place two orders over the weekend, both with tea and teaware. So I have lots incoming, but we will worry about that then. I have received more since I last posted, but I also drank some….
216 + 3 (boychik – was more than that but I drank several) + 4 (Yunnan Sourcing June subscription box) = 223
Zen Tea – Strawberry Cream – 222
Shang Tea – Aged White Brick – 221
Twining – Christmas Tea – 220
Yunnan Sourcing – Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Black – 219
Tao Tea Leaf – Golden Needle Black – 218
Teavana – Dragonfruit Devotion – 217
Cornelia Bean – Victoria Beach – 216
Lol so I broke even….
Glad to be able to enable you! (wow…that’s almost a tongue twister!)
I actually went to the YS website over the weekend & filled a cart, LOL.
Then my senses came back to me & I dumped it. I reminded myself that there will be another sale…always!
Anyway, look at you! Good job on the sip downs! You’re creating room for all those new teas! ;)
Hanging head…. I did order from Yunnan Sourcing – most of their sales are only one type of tea. Sale off everything don’t happen that often. I know, I know I have tons of their teas. I admire your ability to walk away….. I did cxl my subscription.
Aug 2014 I was at 314 teas and just over 14kg. Right now I’m at 216 and just over 10kg. I stopped buying tea for four months but have bought quite a bit – including my massive Vancouver binge – since then. I’m reevaluating the situation. If I could do that again – drop my numbers by 100 and volume by 4kg – my cupboard would be in pretty good shape. I don’t think I need to totally stop, just continue with more being consumed than bringing in.
This thread should help keep me on track. Hoping we can both trend downward together….. :)
That’s what I’m aiming for. It’s not that I’m trying to get rid of all my tea, I just want to narrow it down a bit. I think what I’m aiming for is a cupboard where I can drink each tea once a month, with a few samples to try along the way.
That may never happen, LOL, so another goal would be to finish off the teas I don’t really love, and the teas people have shared with me (they are legion), and narrow the ‘reserve’ collection (aka the Hoard) down to just puerh.
282. Laoshan Village Chai – I’m finally out of this!
281. Meditative Mind – The Tea Spot
280. Bengal Spice – Celestial Seasonings
279. Dandelion Leaf – Pure Aroma – from Sil
278. 2013 Organic rolled Yiwu Puer Tea – Misty Peaks – Thank you Dear Sil!!
277. Campfire Blend – Verdant
276. 1990 Puerh kunming – SOKO – Sil/OMGSrsly
275. Wuyuan Black – Little Red Cup
I’ve been visiting my folks in FL for the last 6 days, and will be heading home in a few hours. Meanwhile, here are my sipdowns for the last couple of days:

Omg Terri, you are doing amazing. You are going to catch up to me. I’ve been buying and not drinking. Cupboard totally going the wrong way. Your cupboard is totally shaping up nicely!!!!! :))
go terri go! I’ve got a couple more days to get to 100 myself but we’ll see if i get there. Sooooo warm!
I did order the new A & D tea today, LOL
I mean, how could I not, right?
Now my playful account is back down to $9.88…
I need to sell more CDs!
214 + 3 Crimson Lotus + 5 Yunnan Sourcing + 3 Verdant (I got more than that but others were just adding to ones I was already counting) = 225
Yunnan Sourcing – 2014 Imperial Grade Jin Jun Mei – 224
Davids Tea – Choconut Oolong – 223
I haven’t been drinking much the last couple of weeks, but I’m feeling better and am back at work so hopefully can start trending in the right direction.
It’s good for the soul (or maybe for the cupboard, LOL) to buy a few new teas once in awhile, right? Anyway, you’re still pretty far below me on tea numbers Dex. And Sil … you’re like the queen of sip downs sister.
I really fought myself to keep from buying more black tea from YS…I mean, I don’t have any of the 2015 teas yet! Of course, it helps (keep me from buying anything) when I’m broke…sigh…
264. Nonpareil Yunnan dian Hong Ancient Wild Tree – Teavivre
263. Rou Gui “Cinnamon” Medium Roast Oolong – Mandala
262. Duck Shhh Dancong – White 2 Tea club
