#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #51 overall / Tea #18 for February
Sunday 2/14 — Another cold-brew pitcher/2 oz silver DT bag done. I think I like Passion Punch better than this one? Maybe I just didn’t brew this one strong enough? Nothing else to say, we were sold out for the first time in a year so the weekend was a blur from work. :)

#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #50 overall / Tea #17 for February
Saturday 2/13 still busy in life + always sipping on multiple teas but unfortunately need to keep working on sipdowns!! I am catching up today (2/16) on a few I made since last time I updated steepster..this is a tea I just added to the site. :)
So from mid 2010 to late 2015 (approx 5.5 years) I lived in NYC. I love NYC so much and I would try to visit at least 1x a year since I left… except for 2020 I’ve been able to do so (last visit was 2019). At the Union Square Greenmarket there was this Tweefontein Farms booth that was selling all kind of stuff but even herbal tisanes, they had giant orange sports Gatorade size containers (like they put water and such or dump over people’s heads in celebration for sports) where you could get a cup already made, or they had this glass jars like in the picture where you could purchase the loose leaf. This is one of two tisanes I’d always grab a jar or two of when I’d be back to visit NYC, but somehow they’ve collected and I need to sipdown. I’ve been cold brewing directly into cold water in a pitcher then using a filter to get the pieces out before drinking the tea.

Thursday 2/11 finished a cold brew pitcher of this tea (6 DT perfect spoons in a pretty DT floral tin), back when this came out it was a favorite and I bought a lot. A little slower on sipdowns after a good start at the beginning of the month—need to find my box of teabags/single serves, #drinkwhatyouown advent calendar, etc. to up my numbers. :)

Tuesday 2/9 So from Starbucks when you used to get free refills on brewed coffee/tea while in house I’d sit around in Starbucks and get “refills” of teabags and just put them in my purse as I would continue drink whatever tea/beverages I had with me. Anyway, this was 2 teabags best by almost 4 years ago, brewed lukewarm and plain.

Wow, they gave you new teabags for refills? Most coffee/tea shops around here think a tea refill is just giving you another cup of hot water for your already used teabag.
I used to buy a regular priced drink and probably some sugary snack then sit and read a book or play on my phone… then yes my free refill of coffee or tea would be Teavana teabags (they’d let me pick from the assortment they had).. but obviously this was years ago, I haven’t sat around at a Starbucks in quite awhile!!

Sunday 2/7 those 12 tin sampler gift boxes I had/have like 3 or 4 of the autumn fruity collection from awhile ago (I think they were a free gift with purchase). This one smelled a lot better than it tasted.

Saturday 2/6 A week ago (1/30) A single sachet from @briannadrinkstea. Classic vanilla rooibos, no frills just a nice 16 oz hot cuppa before bed. :)

Saturday 2/6 A week ago (1/30) I got my lovely box of random tea goodies from @briannadrinkstea in Australia! Some were larger packages, some just a single cuppa but most inside never had before. Tried this first as never had a tea drops before. Dropped it in approx. 10-12 oz of hot water and used a spoon to stir it up. It was just turmeric and coconut palm sugar, just tasted as a lightly sweetened turmeric.

Saturday 2/6 With being so transient lately I am trying to use up my samples. This was from an old sipsby box, clearly a DT forever nuts dupe. Unfortunately I’m not a fan of this flavor profile anymore. This package said 4 servings (meaning 8 oz x 4), I made it in maybe 24 oz of hot water and just sipped it while doing other stuff in the room in the morning.

Friday 2/5 I forgot that this was my third sipdown of the day (well technically #2 and #3 was sweet ginger heat because I normally count by finishing tea not when I make it but I’ll let it go this time). This is a stevia forward dessert tea from david’s tea.. Nice to finish a normal size dt tin (cold brew pitcher at home) although I’m sure there is more of this somewhere.

Friday 2/5 after disaster of raspberry cream pie I had a large bottle of this one (brewed 2x hot plain) made up so that I could have a completely different flavor. Have a few tins left but I
do think there are flavored greens I’d keep in cupboard not this one.
