Sipdown, and this has a leaf in the logo for ashmanra’s sipdown challenge.

I was shocked to find this actually in the Steepster database! I got it in Taiwan years ago, though I gather that it was perhaps sold in North American locations at some point as well. I actually really enjoyed this, more so when it was fresh but even this last, several-years-past-expiration cup too. It doesn’t resteep very well, but that first steep is floral and milky goodness. Some important caveats! I grew up on skim milk and now use dairy substitutes when making my own lattes, which is to say that I don’t like a thick, creamy texture in anything short of a milkshake. So this is the perfect amount of milkiness for me but I can imagine that being watery to someone else. Also, because I got this on a wonderful trip, I’m bound to have positive associations with it that color my experience. And relatedly, I don’t know whether the product they sell within Taiwan is identical to what’s sold abroad. So ymmv. But I rationed this and stretched it out as long as I could.
