Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge Saturday, January 9th: National Apricot Day Tea #3

additional notes:  Final apricot tea of the day!  Leaning more towards orange cream at this point, but I’m still shocked it has any flavor and I WOULD purchase this one in an eventual Adagio order.  Next time sipdown and it will be missed.   Also forgot to mention, I was finishing up some almond apricot jam cookies with my earlier apricot teas! Very good.

You have MULTIPLE apricot teas?! I’m impressed! I feel like it’s a flavor you don’t often see in tea.

Mastress Alita

I find it often enough as a flavor note in straight teas. (Sipdown Challenge is certainly not just for “flavored” tea drinkers, and in fact I drank a straight white Silver Needle that had apricot notes as mine today!)

Yeah, I think that was the extent of my apricot teas, Dustin! Three down to two, soon to be one apricot tea.
Mastress Alita,I might have to get more creative with these funsy tea days in the future. ha

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

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!
