Additional notes: This one is lovely. Not sure if it’s because I’m overleafing yet Teavivre never gets too astringent, or what is happening. But my default with Teavivre black teas is usually two teaspoons for a mug.
My idea until the chlorine situation is handled, was to get a gallon of filtered water at the store at least for my really good teas or teas I have to review. Then I can just keep boiling tap water on the stove for twenty minutes. However, at the store, I forgot to grab the gallon of filtered water. sigh.

Does anyone have a Lucky Draw giftcard they aren’t going to use (over $3 anyway? I have $3 but fishing for higher…) I think you can copy and paste the giftcard code numbers from other winners? Oh wait… but I’m sure you have to buy $60 or something to use the $6 Lucky Draw? I just wanted to buy a couple things. Hmm

I got a $3 gift certificate too. And yes, I think you have to spend a higher amount if you get the larger gift cards.

That’s what I figured. I do have a $3 if I decide to order. Thanks, Leafhopper!

I was sad that Teavivre didn’t let us participate in the draw twice every day, as in years past. Still, these giveaways are very generous, so I can’t complain. :) You could always post your reviews on the Teavivre site for extra loyalty points.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It’s usually two spins a day. But Teavivre has been VERY generous all of these years and I’m glad they still have the Lucky Draw at all. I was sampling their teas from the beginning! So many many samples from Teavivre. And I make sure to post my reviews for points. :D

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!
