I’ve been overwhelmed by my possesions lately. I just have so much stuff! And I like shopping, so that’s been adding to the stress.
Well, this summer I’m recommitting to my New Years Resolution to use what I have, and to set myself some guidelines. We are starting with tea, as, well, I’m posting this on Steepster.
I’ve decided that I can’t buy any more tea until my cupboard only has 50 or fewer teas in it. That’s 19 teas to sip down. Fortunatly I’m usually not much interested in the summer blends, so I’m hoping I can hit this goal before the autumnal blends start showing up.
This was my cup of commitment to this goal today.
This is a really rich tea. You can taste the “wood” aspect of it, and its every bit as rich and layered as we’ve come to expect from teas from Whispering Pines.
Alas, it is a sipdown. But that’s one more to my goal!
18 teas to go, now.

Good job, Rosehips. I am right there with you. I haven’t read myself the riot act in terms of completely forbidding myself from new tea purchases, but I’ve severely limited myself. If I only buy one or two teas every month or two, that is already immense progress. It all started with keeping a monthly tea expense log over the past year or so. eeeegads! Totally overwhelming.
Good job!
I realized something similar this week as I placed an order with Simpson & Vail. I realized I already had more tea than I will drink over the next year and had better start doing a sipdown before buying more and more. After this order, of course! ;)
It will be hard to not buy more…
