2021 sipdown no. 8

This one has grown on me over time, but the vanilla still isn’t my favourite. The rooibos doesn’t have that rooibos flavour, and the chocolate is well done. I do appreciate that the vanilla mellows out the mint, but perhaps a tad less vanilla.

I could see myself ordering this one to hit a shipping threshold or perhaps in a 20g package.

Eventually my order will reach me… Last time I checked it hadn’t even left the UK. x.x

Nooo! I gave in and did another order from them to restock a couple favourites and mine has shipped (as of 3-Jan)…though the tracking number doesn’t work, so I’ve no idea where it might be.

Yeah, my boxing day sale package isn’t here yet, but I definitely expect it to take longer than usual (which is long).

Cameron B.

Yeah, they’re definitely behind, and understandably so. I got my December subscription a couple of days ago, so hopefully my order from 12/16 isn’t far off!

Courtney

Fingers crossed for all of us!

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
