Little Terri's Long Awaited Ultimate Sipdown Extravaganza!!!
I have a few minutes to kill before I head out the door, so here are this morning’s SDs, the first which I’m sipping now, one which I’ll sip en route, & one in a thermos. I’ve decided on a theme of Keemun Kraziness for today!
442. Spring Keemun – A & D
441. Premium Keemun Hao Ya – TeaVivre
440. Org Superfine Keemun Fragrant Black – TeaVivre
Happy Sipdowns, Everybody!
I love your theme for the day – both the name and the teas you’ve been drinking. Yum!
I love Keemun teas, & I still have a few in. My collection that are far from sipdown ready, but it is kind of fun having a theme :) what’s also fun is that they all had their own taste, some more smokey, some sweeter, etc. I enjoyed them all, but I’m pretty sure my only re-order in this category will be Teavivre. Maybe.
Starting today with a new sipdown theme, B’Bye Butiki
I love Stacy, & have enjoyed her teas, but today I’m bidding farewell to some favorites…sigh…

Terri! There was a harp playing lady at the tea festival here in Austin. I thought of you!
My goodness but I’m really failing this! I only managed a few.
114. Nutty Almond Cream Tiesta Tea
113. Pineapple Papaya Cameron’s
112. Berry White SereneTeaz
I guess that better than nothing. :)
It’s not a win/lose – pass/fail kind of thing. It’s all dependent on your cupboard – how many small 1-2 cup samples you have. It’s also about your lifestyle and how much time you have for drinking tea, how much you can consume in a day etc. IMHO the point is that you are aware of your cupboard situation and making an effort to change that situation. :))
My sipdowns are rarely a huge amount at a time. Usually 1-2 especially if it’s a tea I didn’t really like. And if I did like it, I’m like Wahhhhhh! I don’t wanna sip this down, I’ve got to hoard it! Sometimes it becomes more like a job or a chore, and makes me want to avoid tea for a while.
All true… and sometimes I just want my favorites. I have 111 samples left and between giving some away and sipping I’m hopeful of making good progress. It’s amazing how happy friends are when you give them a cute little bag of teas… and therefore have more space to put new teas. :D
Yesterday I hosted the annual Harp Society tea party, & although there was a lot of tea drank, I only got in one sip down. This morning I’m starting off with 2 more:
432. Kenyan Obsidian – butiki (from yesterday)
431. Black Beauty – Mandala (def a re-order coming on that one eventually)
430. Bolder Breakfast – Tea Spot (Sil & Cavo…remember that awesome order we placed a few years ago?)
also if you reorder from mandala in the near future um i might have a request… i can’t justify any orders until i get down to 110….or the dollar magically goes back up to reasonable.
It will probably be awhile before I order anything from anywhere, lol, but I will need more black beauty eventually :)
Hey, do you want my second sample from Tea Ave? It’s floral oolongs…
haha no give them to someone who will appreciate them…unless one of the girls here wants them via me
Why can’t we all live in the same area so that we could just have a community tea cupboard? or a real cloud instead of a virtual one?
I have 3 teas from White2Tea club, & 3 teas from Tea Ave sampler box, plus several people who came to my tea party brought herbal teas along & then left them behind, but I’m not adding anything to my count until March 1st! Here are my sip downs for yesterday/today:
429. Puer Tuo Cha – Rishi
428. Golden Monkey Black – TeaVivre
427. Jin Xuan Xiao Zhong 2011 – Norbu – Sil
426. Pure Bud Bi Luo Chun Yunnan Black Spring 2014 – YS
425. Parisian Breakfast – London Tea Room
424. Golden Buds Black – Tribute Tea
423. Dark Rose Heicha – Tea Source – from Stephanie
