95

Just finished off the last of this today. Not many teas remain favorites after several cups. It is a lucky tea that can make it past two cups and still maintain my interest. I really can’t explain it — how it is that I can think that I absolutely love a tea and then the second or third time I have it, I can’t stand it anymore. Does this happen to anyone else or am I really so unusual??

I’m really running low on teas that I like in my cupboard. I still have some 40 teas that I just want to be rid of, half of them are my husbands and he won’t drink them! gah. I need some money!! Im so jealous of all of you who can order tea like every week. what are you sacrificing for it? real food? cable television? lol. Fortunately I have a couple of traveling tea boxes to look forward to. I hope they aren’t too dominated by crazy novelty blends though. Someday, if I can, I’m going to start a non-dessert-tea box. That would be awesome.

Well, I have found that it’s cheaper to pay for Netflix and Hulu than cable television… but then I stopped watching television on a tv screen years ago…

Whispering Pines – yes, I heard rumor about that. Just waiting for my bank account to get better again too. It’s ok though, I still have some Malt et mint to hold me over :)

Kaylee – We have Netflix too. We did, upon my urging, cancel cable for a time, but my husband weaseled it back, first by claiming a good deal, and then keeping it after the deal expired. He uses is own “fun money” for it now, that he acquires from independent projects, so it really isn’t anything that distracts from the main budget and if that’s what he wants to spend it on, that’s fine by me.

My Rating System

100 My happiness absolutely depends on it

95 Will definitely repurchase

85: Might repurchase (teas that depend on my mood)

75 Won’t repurchase (but I would drink it again if offered).

65: meh

45: I reluctantly finished a cup.

15: Couldn’t finish a cup.

I simplified my ratings to single numbers rather than ranges because I can’t precisely compare so many teas with a system more detailed than this.

An unrated tea is most often one that I recognize as having significant notable quality, but that does not suit me personally. Sometimes, I leave teas unrated for other reasons, such as I am undecided or I brewed it wrong, etc.

Note: Boiling temp. barely reaches 200 where I am (and a few times it sticks at 195, I assume due to unexplainable shifts in altitude or the position of the moon. . .aliens?. . .).
