Little Terri's Long Awaited Ultimate Sipdown Extravaganza!!!
Sipdown
111. Mehenghai Palace Ripened Pu-erh Cake 2008 – Teavivre (BTW, could they use a smaller font on their packages!!!)
Haha! I was just commenting on this the other day. I had to pull a magnify glass out to figure out which one I was wanting to drink.
I got the idea from my Mom. She got sick of trifocals, so she got separate glasses, hated tiny reading glasses, & realized she could just use a large magnifying glass. She actually has one that has it’s own swivel stand, set up by her chair, so she can kick back & read without having to hold it. I hopefully won’t ever need to go that far, right now I just use mine for reading fine print :)
I’m enjoying a morning at home in my PJs! Had a nice breakfast with my sons, & we watched the tonight show lip sync competition from the other night (I love it so much, I’ve watched it about 7 times now, with various different people. Here it is:

Meanwhile, here’s my first sipdown of the day:
422. Assam Beast of the East – River Tea – Sil
421. Fuding shou Mei White tea Cake 2013 – Teavivre
420. Baked Ali Shan – Butiki
I’m suppose to be doing my taxes, but I keep getting sidetracked. At least I’m drinking tea! Here are the new sip sipdowns:
419. Lemon Meringue – Traveling tea
418. Lishan Black – J-Tea – From Tasty Brew, as part of our BBBBox.
417. Dejoo Assam 2013 – Norbu – From Sil, also part of the BBBB
416. Baguashan Mi Xian Black, Lot 228 – Taiwan Tea Crafts – Sil, BBBB
I think I’ve made it a goal to finish off the BBBB teas today. Only 2 more to go.
415. Bourbon Aged Puer – J-Tea – TastyBrew, now only 1 to go.
414. Vanilla Frosted Carrot Cake – Butiki
Wow hahah how many steeps do you do? This sounds pretty intense caffeine wise xD
LOL, it depends on the tea! Some of them just get the one long steep, others get several short ones.
I came by to say that I have missed you. That is all. :p
Thanks sweetie! This is my new hangout, at least until I get my cupboard under control, LOL. I’m not writing tea reviews right now, because I’ve reviewed so many teas multiple times, but I also have a ton of teas to review, mostly puerh samples from tea clubs (which I dropped out of, at least for the next few months). So I’m just gonna hang out here in my room, drinking up all the tea trades, BBBBox teas, small quantities of things, etc until I am done. Then I will rejoin the rest of the steepster world & start reviewing stuff again. And the Puerh of the Day page, because face it, I got lots of that stuff to drink! But first things first!
Anyway, it’s nice to see your smiling face! :)
Awesome idea, pumpkin pie! The teaplets and I have done some Saturday sipdowns recently. I’m trying not to buy more tea for now… been somewhat successful. Good luck on your sipdowns!!!!
I purchased tea at the very end of January, in part cuz it was my birthday, & also because I had tea cash from Verdant that was getting ready to expire, & of course I could never let that happen!
