1324 Tasting Notes
2021 Sipdown #48:
I’ve been holding on to the last cup of this for too long but it’s one of my absolute favorite teas and I need more space in my cupboard. I’m super excited for my classes this term and this was also chosen as a starting a new term of classes tea. It’s such a lovely herbal flavor with floral notes, and cinnamon, and nettle. Also one of the first few teas I tried from DavidsTea and introduced me to the loose leaf tea world. Hopefully it’ll come back at some point and I can stock up on it.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Floral, Herbs

This sample came from AmandaStory and I really appreciate getting the chance to try this company.
Steeped this one so I’d have something to drink while making banana bread.
It really does taste like cotton candy and I much prefer this one to the DT Cotton Candy blend. I drank this hot but I bet it would have been even better cold.
Flavors: Cotton Candy
Preparation
Almost out of this one I think I have about enough for another large cup.
It’s one of the older teas in my cupboard though so I felt like I needed to just finish it off.’
This one is yummy but I think I prefer the melon oolong to this one.
Preparation
That’s how I’ve been with a lot of my “bought around California Lupicia closing time” teas; many of them aren’t available from Hawaii Lupicia so I feel like I need to stash them, but they aren’t getting any younger either and I know the flavor is just going to degrade if I don’t enjoy them soon…
It’s a bummer but maybe the Japan store will be available to order from eventually.
