#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #151 overall / Tea #22 for April
Thursday 04/15 — Dessert by Deb Orange Ginger Shortbread. So yesterday/today are kind of my days off for the week – Micah’s birthday yesterday so we hung out (tried to get him to take off from work), today I work at my side hotel + have a soccer game tonight (my professional team, Columbus Crew first home match tonight & Sunday regular season opener at home!). I work so many days/hours at random shifts and schedules every single week so I take what I can for “me time” (which isn’t much). Anyway, I was making myself breakfast yesterday late morning and did a bunch of cold-brew: 2 full size pitchers (Verdant Tea 2020 green, The Tea Lab tangerine white tea), a 20 oz glass jar (my Ode to Tea Z entry), and this a half pitcher with Deb’s Orange Ginger Shortbread. I let all the teas sit out for a while during the day before putting into fridge to sip on in the future. This was the only “sip-down” and one of my OG teas from my very first order from Deb in 2019 (2 years ago). In this nice 32 oz jug the orange and rooibos shine, not really getting the ginger. Also a sweetness which I’m sure is vanilla/maple/ brown sugar. I imagine this would make a nice iced latte as I’d be afraid the orange would curdle milk in a hot latte.

Wednesday 04/14 — Sweet Almond Green by DavidsTea TINZILLA B***HES! This is the first green tea I ever fell madly in love with. Sadly I have so much of it now and it doesn’t have the same taste as it did in the past. I went to reach for this last weekend to make a cold-brew pitcher and I happened to have enough to finish the tinzilla! Most of my sipdowns are enough for a single cup so it’s always nice when I finish a bigger size of something. I guess I’ll need to keep working on this to get rid of it.. at this point it’s not like it’s bad or anything just a little stale/flat tasting.

An Ode to Tea, C is for Cherry Green Tea from Four-O-Clock (gifted by Tori aka @siply_tealicious)
Wednesday 04/14 — This was a green tea with as hint of artificial cherry flavor done as 2 cold-brew pitchers (about 5 DT PS each).. one pitcher at a time. Got the job done. Thanks to Tori for sharing.

An Ode to Tea, K is for Key Lime Chamomile from Teamancy (gifted by Tori aka @siply_tealicious)
Wednesday 04/14 — As suspected, this tea was made by me cold-brew pitcher style and not my forte only with the chamomile being the star. Perhaps I need to start trying teas hot to see if they make any difference?

An Ode to Tea, V is for rooibos Vanilla Chai by Adagio Teas (gifted by Danielle aka @teaandmeblog)
Monday 04/12 — plain and hot latte using this tea. I actually really enjoyed it because the milk and the chai spices are very nice mix for this cloudy Monday. Not getting vanilla or rooibos which is fine.

An Ode to Tea, M is for Megganog by Brutaliteas (gifted by AJRimmer)
Monday 4/11/21 — another busy weekend at work means I barely had time to run to the restroom or get sleep much less get much tea drinking done. I’m doing the overnight shift tonight (Monday) so focusing on getting headway on my sip downs during the day. Also I’m doing the April #2021steepsterchallenge “Ode to Tea” and trying to only use teas from swaps/gifted from IG/steepster pals. I have 23/26 letters covered (if I have time I’ll see what I can do for other 3 letters in my 34028420349343423489032 stash of tea). This tea was made into a plain & hot latte with breakfast, and unfortunately no sight, smell, or taste of eggnog just rooibos and black tea with milk so half of this made tea went to Micah. (: Thanks for the share.
