This tea bag I have from last swap with derk, so I thank you, even… the tea is bit weird in my opinion.

I made an Excel file with teas; actually I used Oolongowl’s template (it is great, hoot, hoot!) and, although I don’t have everything there yet (last part of cupboard missing) it seems I have it about 50-50 ratio (tea bags – loose leaf) while I don’t count “Huge bags section” because, it is too many different tea bags and finding which ones are actually with tea in is way too time consuming.

So, it is evening, made a filter for caffeine-free teas and ran an randomiser on random.org. It picked number one, which was this one.

I steeped it for 5 minutes maybe and… it smells like a cinnamon bun or something.But with something extra herbal. Brews hazy yellow, but not so cloudy as last time. It is even, kind of, tasty. Yeah, I notice mostly cinnamon pastry, but there is no funky, musty or some other weird tastes. Upping a rate a bit.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Pastries

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I use an Excel file for my tea inventory too (and NOT my Steepster cupboard like everyone else on here; I keep ALL teas I’ve ever tried on my Steepster cupboard so I can back reference things I may want to buy again, while my Excel file is always up-to-date with exactly what I have in my home). It is linked on my Profile page, and I also have been known to do that, run Sort functions to find teas that are certain types, certain dates, include certain ingredients, etc., or use Randomizer.org to pick from certain datasets. I love it!

I combine both so far… I think I will slowly turn into Excel cupboard only, as you said, it is easier to find certain teas there, based on ingredients, dates, types.

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
