Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – July 2023 Tea #6 – Your most unusual tea

I’m pretty sure Orzo qualifies as unique… especially as I believe I have only ever seen Lupicia selling it!   I like it.  It’s robust and as usual, the flavoring that Lupicia uses is delightful.   The little flowers are a bonus!  Very grateful I was able to try this.  I wouldn’t mind it hanging around in the cupboard full time.

Wow, that is really unusual! I have never noticed these on the Lupicia website but I definitely need to check them out.

A few years back now when Lupicia had a store in LA, we picked up so much of their plain orzo because it’s so delightful! I haven’t checked their website in a long while, but maybe I should order some soon. :)

I’m fairly certain they stopped carrying it once they shut down the California operations and only have the Hawaii operation for US orders now. It may still be available from either the Japan, France, or Australian sites, though. (I’m not a fan of international shipping so I’ve never checked).

I should have noted it reminds me most of those Teeccino blends… which I have only had a couple times and not very recently!

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.

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!
