OK, so I guess I’m way out of the loop, but I only just discovered the Steepster Scavenger Hunt (thanks to SororiTEA Sisters’ Instagram post) – so I decided I would like to play along. I don’t know if I’ll be able to post all of them by the end of February, but I can try.
This is my “black tea” for the scavenger hunt (does it have to be a straight black tea – or can it be a flavored black tea? Please let me know if I’m doing this right?)
Anyway, this is probably more ‘chai-like’ than ‘orange spice like’ since there are more spices to this than your typical orange spice/holiday tea. – which are traditionally more a citrus clove or a citrus cinnamon clove blend rather than a chai-ish blend of spices. I didn’t really consider that at the time of blending this tea, I just wanted something warm & cozy & something that also included blood orange so this is what I came up with.
I really like the way it came out, though – I’m enjoying the blood orange in this – it’s bright & a bit more tangy – but not too tart. The spices are mild yet warming. Just what I wanted on this chilly afternoon.

You’re ahead of me! I don’t know what you are talking about! Ha ha! A scavenger hunt sounds fun, though!
I have read a few posts where they’re doing a scavenger hunt – but I wasn’t sure where they got the list of teas – until I saw the post on the SororiTEA Sisters Instagram post today. So, it’s February 17 – I don’t know if I’ll be able to complete the list this month, maybe next month I’ll see the list earlier. :)
Ah – so I didn’t know it was a sipdown thing – so I totally still have some of this tea left, so I guess I’m not playing along. :)
Any tea you drink will eventually contribute to a sipdown! We are all doing it a little differently ;)
Most of mine aren’t sipdowns, it’s just helping me work through some different teas in my cabinet.
OK cool – basically, I’m just interpreting it to be MY teas (aka 52Teas) that I can fit into the categories. :) I will have fun with it. If nothing else, it will offer me a distraction. Not that I need one, but sometimes I do – and this can be a tea related distraction that doesn’t require a lot of time. :)
