Sipdown (531)!
I decided that this year, for Easter, I wanted to do something for my coworkers at DAVIDsTEA so I bought a ton of plastic Eggs and filled them all with single cup amounts of tea from my personal stash. A mix of all different types, flavours, and companies.
I had honestly completely forgotten about this tea until I was looking for Pu’erh options to add to the mix and I pulled it from the very, very back of the pu’erh tin section in my shelves. There was actually only about two cups of tea left in the tin so I put one into the egg, and finished the other one off on the spot for an easy sipdown.
It wasn’t bad; tasted just a little bit flat so I added a touch of coconut agave just to spruce it up and give some more punch to the already coconut heavy profile. It made it quite sweet and smooth, with a lovely toasted coconut flavour and complimenting buttery quality. It was a nice enough cup; I wonder why I had completely forgotten about this tea?
maybe because you have 530 teas? haha
What a great idea! I hope your coworkers had fun with it. How did they know which temperature to steep at?
I slipped a little note in each egg with the tea name, company, type, and my preferred brewing parameters! Also @Sil – that could very well be the reason ;p
What an amazing idea. Your Coworkers are gonna be spoiled. haha
This is beyond cute. Makes me wish I had a dozen tea-loving friends to surprise! Might just do it for myself anyway :)
Lovely lovely idea, even with the element of self-interest :)
And by self-interest, I mean the omg, I have so many teas and there’s no way in the world I will be able to get through them before they need to be composted feeling.
psh…you guys just need to focus!
hahahha, one of these days, Sil…
