Sipdown! (3 | 44)

Finishing off this tasty tea from S&V. This and Almond Sugar Cookie are the first two teas I remember loving from them, and I’ll probably reorder both at some point in the future.

I will say, this doesn’t really taste like French toast to me. It actually reminds me of Quaker instant oatmeal, a combination of the apple cinnamon and maple brown sugar flavors. And I used to loooooove instant oatmeal, so it’s a bit nostalgic for me. It does taste a tad bit artificial on the maple part, but not enough to bother me. Mostly it tastes like syrupy apply cinnamony oaty goodness. :3

Flavors: Apple, Artificial, Cinnamon, Maple, Maple Syrup, Oatmeal, Oats, Pancake Syrup, Smooth, Sweet

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Ahh, that apple cinnamon instant oatmeal flavor is so nostalgic for me, too!

I used to love all of the flavors, and the fruit & cream ones too! I might have to pick some up the next time I’m at the store ha ha… :P

We recently grabbed some fruity oatmeal to have on hand, too! The strawberry is my favorite, I think.

I remember loving peaches & cream and blueberry & cream!

The ones we have a hard time finding (for nostalgia purposes) were my son’s favorite: chocolate chip and cookie dough

Whaaaaat cookie oatmeal?! I’ve never heard of that but I can totally get behind it. :D

Circa 1999-ish. Quaker does have a Sm’res that was around back then, I think. We used to buy a multi pack that was the choco chip, cookie dough, cookies’n’creme, and one other in that flavor category.

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

~ 2025 SIPDOWN CHALLENGE! ~
- March sipdowns: 3
- Total 2025 sipdowns: 42

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
