#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #81 overall / Tea #48 for February
Sunday 2/28 3 PS left brewed hot with 32 oz water dusty in a ziplock baggie from some old dt Facebook swap or buy. Sounds like a tea i would have like but it was too old to get any sense of it.

Saturday 2/27 won a Sipsby contest years ago for two teas this one and green tea one. The company is Canadian and both packages were slashed when arrived to me. I guess customs was confused by loose leaf tea sachets with vitamins inside LOL. Anyway finally used up the last of these sachets two at a time in a 16-20 oz tumbler earlier today.

Saturday 2/27 so my bucket list has a visit every MLS stadium for an away game against my team the Columbus Crew (men’s professional soccer team). In fall of 2018 I went to Atlanta and got a bunch of teas from ZenTea in Atlanta Georgia. This one I got in mind for my boyfriend since he loves, blueberries. Alas he’s not a black tea fan. Anyway found enough to have one hot plain cuppa and I’m brewing it up now.

Saturday 2/27 only today and tomorrow to get 7 teas packages done including this one should be fine. This is one of my favorite teas from the regular collection of DT (North African Mint would be another one that comes to mind) and because of that I tend to skip over them. The cold brew pitcher made of this to finish a dt printed tin has made me feel like I’m sipping cinnamon red gum. Im sure I have more of this somewhere else but if not I’ll definitely repurchase a bag or two someday.

Thursday 2/25 — Starting to gather a collection when my boyfriend M asks me to make another black tea for kombucha. This was a sample (12g?) from 2020 Virtual Tea Festival box, can’t remember if it was for tasting competition or just regular freebie. Would not be something I’d be sipping normally so good to make use.

Thursday 2/25 — I like this tea… back when it first came out as a New Years/Wellness tea everyone was all over it. Glad it became a permanent fixture. This was from an open silver tin of this tea which means I bought it at work (since this was back when I worked as a casual tea guide at one of my local shops). I can’t say that I like it as a much as back then, but I have plenty more silver 2 oz bags of this in one of my basement bins and a bunch of sachet boxes from when those were on SAS back in the day so plenty more to go through! Definitely a fruity/berry tea, no taste of white tea base for me.

Thursday 2/25 — Another end of month “must-sip-down-to-meet-number goals” time LOL. The open 50g package said best by 2017 sometime (so yay for getting anything 2017 or older not a traditional tea out of the way) I had maybe 1 tablespoon left? I’m not sure how much but it barely covered bottom of my metal steeper basket. I never had the full bag I think I had a couple servings given to me in a swap or sale years ago from DT FB group when first getting into tea.
Sipped hot and plain during impromptu AM shift at work/finished up at home cuddled in blankets taking a nap/watching NYPD Blue. :)

Preparation
#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #74 overall / Tea #41 for February
Wednesday 2/24 — So I’m on a good roll to finish February on track with sipdowns, so figured I’d get a few in this morning at home since I was working the 3-11 shift at work today. I’m not a earl grey fan or much of a black tea fan so I grabbed two different earl grey teabags and figured hey half water half milk make a latte and knock two out. So two earl grey lattes in one day. Sheesh.
This was more subtle smelling not sure if flavoring wasn’t as strong as the steeped tea one or an older teabag? Oh! I did post a pretty picture of latte in my matching DT mug & handmade coaster from @teathoughts :

This one smelled pretty strong taking it out of the sealed foil package. It was fine but nothing else to say.

Tuesday 2/23 16 oz gold tumbler (old style) hot and plain. I think this was the older version of this tea because it was just in a clear Ziploc baggie but I’m not sure I know the difference?? This was my last tea of 2/23 I think hallelujah!
