additional notes: I’m enjoying this favorite today, mostly because sinuses need some Cayenne right now… I wonder if the new version also uses the new black tea base that is stronger, like the other new versions of the other black teas? I hope so. I just couldn’t take this Ceylon and it’s the only bad thing about this blend. This is certainly a blend with my name on it. The cocoa shells never age. (This is an older blend…. still so so good, piping hot.)
I watched the movie of ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ last night and what took me so long? I love that movie. It not only made vampires and werewolves funny, but I swear there were various shades of Blair Witch in there as well. I’m a bit afraid for the show though… I have faith that the funny Matt Berry can pull the show off, but I’m already missing Jemaine and Taika’s characters. I’m very glad it’s now a show, because I’m lacking in funny shows lately.

That is one of my favorite movies of all time! I plan to give the TV show a chance tonight.

haha :D And I can’t not mention Rhys Darby as a werewolf! I don’t think the movie cast could have been better. Except for Deacon…

Mastress Alita

Deacon has all my favorite lines in the movie, though. I cry tears every time at his “inspiring speech” about death towards the end every time. Also the “shame, shame, bad vampire!” part. Man. Just too funny.

Supposedly there was supposed to be a sequel movie in production called “We’re Wolves” and also another spin-off TV series set in New Zealand like the movies following the two bumbling buddy-cops from the movie, as well.

tea-sipper

oh man, it needs ALL the spinoffs. :D

Also, Moss from The IT Crowd needs to be one of Matt Berry’s victims.

The cat with Jemaine’s face!!! I could go on and on. sigh.

Dude that’s one of my favorite movies too! I saw it at a film festival years ago, and it’s seriously one of those movies that sticks with you. All the people involved are so talented.

And so much talent just from New Zealand!

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
