Being the first of the month, I tend to reorganize my tea drawers so that everything from a year ago gets moved into the focus area of my tea stash. That’s where I store my older teas so that my mind realizes I should be finishing them. That is also where I store the sipdown box which are a select few teas that are exceptionally old and thus need a concentrated effort to drink. Hard to believe that being December 1, 2020, it was a year ago (not to the day but the month) that I met Roswell Strange in person and got a GIANT bag of teas. So between that and the 1/2 advents and some shopping, there were a lot of teas from December 2019 that had to be moved.
This tea is from the start of 2019 and I moved it into my sipdown box along with another tea from the first half of 2019. So now my sipdown box is a collection of 5 teas from 2018 and the first half of 2019 that I am trying to get through. This is the only caffeine free option though and I was thinking that might be a good plan. Also, I was really warm so I wanted something that would be nice iced. This fit the bill.
As per usual, the melon notes are so juicy and so spot on and delicious. I do get a bit more of the base given the age of this tea causing a touch of flavor deterioration. But this tea is great hot or cold and this is no exception.
omg i miss this so much

Wow for your tea organizing skills! I… could not possibly do that with my teas.
Ohhh, I LOVE this one! I still have 50g and even though it’s past its date, it’s still delicious.
