I am very excited to post my first note that is part of….
Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge!
I hope I am doing this right! I have always wondered how you guys knew what to drink and I finally asked the Mastress herself. She set me on the right path!
This is far from a sipdown. Once I tasted this tea years ago I decided that it would probably be one I would always keep on shelf. So even if I finished this tin I would just get more next time I place a Harney order.
Still, it has been neglected for a while and if I understand how to do this, today is National Pear Day and we are supposed to drink a pear tea.
Breakfast was a cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera so this “paired” (ha ha lil pun there) very nicely.
The white base and spices are pretty much perfect for pear. I am always surprised at how much flavor and really lovely body the cup has. Guests tend to love it, even if they are not devoted tea drinkers.
I get more cinnamon than nutmeg for sure, and I guess it is the lear itself that makes this tea round and smooth and silky. The cinnamon isn’t sharp and hot like their Hot Cinnamon Spice, not at all. It is well balanced.

And where does one find this list of what to drink and when? (not that I will, because, you know, rebel child.)
In the discussion threads, and the title is something Mastress Alita’s sipdown thread. This while month is just to drink holiday themed teas with the exception of a few days that have more specific prompts like pear tea for National Pear Day.
Thanks!
The chances of me checking the thread AND then being able to locate the specific teas that fall into the specific categories are slim.
“2021 Sipdown Progress Thread” in the forums. It’s been going on all year, though interest has waned a lot after the first few months with only a few people still finding theming useful for making progress on sipdowns. Next year I’ll either drop theming altogether and just have it be a place for people to record/keep track of their progress over the year (which is its main purpose, anyway), or do sort of a short “scavenger hunt” list for each month with no designated days.
Love this tea, probably my favorite pear tea! :D
