An Ode to Tea, Q is for the Queen’s Peach by T2 (gifted by Brianna aka @briannadrinkstea) 14/23
Sunday 5/2 — T2 the Queen’s Peach. Took the entire amount Brianna gave me and did a cold brew pitcher. I did not read any of the ingredients in advance but was looking forward to a peach tea, I have not found one yet that I like…. Ended up being a slightly sweet heavily turmeric spicy tea. I like turmeric in my tea actually but was not prepared for this to be what I was tasting, thought the orange was going to be a peach flavor/taste. Once I knew what I was getting into as I sipped the whole pitcher it was enjoyable but not a purchase. — Wait, this doesn’t have any turmeric in it? Must be the ginger I was tasting? Hmm, interesting…

Saturday 5/1 — Dessert by Deb Earl Grey Tea Cake. Had one PS left in sample packet. Brewed hot & plain, just tasted like a sweet earl grey no tea cake. Not an earl grey fan so this was a miss for me.

Saturday 5/1 — DTs sleigh ride — my favorite DT tin size ever, the small slim metal jar that held around 50g of a tea. Had enough to do a 20 oz cold brew glass jar and sipped a day or two later (aka Sat 5/1). This is a classic DT, not sure if I prefer it hot or cold since I like it both ways. I am team Santa’s Secret and Candy Cane Crush, but this is probably my favorite “winter/holiday” classic DT tea.

Saturday 5/1 — DTs the skinny — another sample packet 15g(?) size it was open not sure how much was left but did a cold-brew in a glass jar. Weird mix of ingredients but the orange flavor shined through, and I enjoyed kicking off my rare Saturday off with this tea.

#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #176 overall / Tea #47 for April
Friday 4/30 — DTs seaberry spa 3 PS 20ish oz jar cold brew. In a desperate attempt to get some sip downs in I found a box with some random paper sachets with tea. This one was seaberry spa, a white tea with light fruits/herbs. Put this in a glass jar to brew for a day or two in the fridge and it turned out nice, very soft and pleasant, don’t remember anything special as I was somewhere between sipping and gulping. I believe I have an unopened package or two in my stash (maybe even a few pitcher packs) which I will enjoy, but not a permanent collection (tea is discontinued anyway). This concludes my April teas with 47 for the month.

An Ode To Tea, W is for Wakoucha by Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms (black tea) (gifted by Cameron aka @tea.n.pugs) 13/23
Thursday 4/29 — WOW-color me impressed. Cameron sent me a lovely package with lots of different teas. I vowed to try everything even the ones that might not normally be my wheelhouse. I will say this again and again, but black tea is not my favorite. I brewed up the whole sample packet (5g? 10g?) in small plastic pitcher (maybe 32 oz of water?) cold brew and I adored it. It was so light, but not like light like on flavor but like airy? I don’t know. I’m terribly bad at describing things but this was so delicious. I wish I would have experimented with this more. Looking forward to trying other teas from this company and putting them on my wish list of companies to try in future.

An Ode to Tea, P is for Pumpkin Chai by DavidsTea (gifted by Jackie @teawithjamandcookies on IG) 12/23
Thursday 4/29 — *DT Pumpkin Chai cold brewed little before 7 am 4/27 at Canopy fridge, sipped down all day at home 4/29 before evening work shift (4pm-12am). This is incredible. I love chai in general and enjoy pumpkin real life but not artificial, so this is not really my cuppa tea. I guess I’ve only had it hot plain and hot latte because I took the entire sample (maybe 3 PS?) in my DT perfect pitcher (64 oz) and cold brewed. And the light pumpkin black tea worked! I actually enjoyed drinking this throughout my day at home before my work shift. Not enough to get again but I was not sad to drink this today.

An Ode to Tea, I is for Iced tea blend green tea by 52teas (gifted by AJrimmer)
Wednesday 4/28 — first day off in 10 days so I started a whole row of cold brews this morning and made more cold brews later. Also a day with highs in low 80s. The crisp mint and green tea base are good but I don’t get any of the peaches or lemons in the ingredients. :( I will try hot then putting in fridge when I find my sub box packet.

This one was odd, barely any peach and just a little ginger.
