Sipdown…
Finally done with this one! I brought it to the office so I could focus on drinking it. I like the roasted quality of this one but found if it got steeped for too long it took on a very tart-like flavor similar to hibiscus or rose hips. It is better gong fu’d but I haven’t really discovered a practical way to do that at the office! I miss my teapots at home and I definitely haven’t been drinking as much pu’erh as I used to without the yixings on hand. :-/

I think I still have a small supply of this one…why haven’t I been drinking it? Good question.

Because you have so much tea, as do I? lol. I’m pretty sure I had this for years before I focused on drinking it. :)

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
