Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – July Tea #5- A blueberry tea

I never did get around to seeing blueberry and coconut as a flavor combination, but I guess it isn’t a terrible idea.  This tea doesn’t taste like much at this point anyway, being so old.  It doesn’t really taste like blueberry OR coconut.   What really is the point of old tea notes from me, other than to say SIPDOWNNNN.   Some teas probably don’t deserve a last sad note saying the flavor is faded when it is very obvious at the number of years the tea has aged that it won’t taste like what it is supposed to taste like.  ah well.  I still remember that amazing package of teas from Nicole that this was included in (as I remember most of the amazing tea packages over the years from you all. :D)

In unrelated crap news, it’s surprising to me to see that monarch butterflies are now on the endangered species list. Lordy. And the milkweed in the yard has never been better than this year. I saw a monarch land on some of the milkweed yesterday…

I still have some of their Peach-Blackcurrant white tea hoarded away, that I bought when they discontinued it. I remember not loving this one, but I’m not a coconut lover anyway. :P

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!
