2023: Sipdown Progress Thread
The purpose of this thread is to track your progress on sipdowns over the year, encourage other Steepster members in their sipdown and/or general cupboard reduction/maintenance efforts, and most importantly, have fun while doing so!

What is a Sipdown?
A “sipdown” is drinking the last of a tea so that it is no longer in one’s cupboard. Since different people inventory their collection differently, some people count sipdowns of each individual package of the same tea, while others wait and only count the sipdown once that particular tea is completely gone from their cupboard. There is no right or wrong way to go about it; the purpose is to drink the tea one already has while reducing binge tea ordering habits to, ultimately, get a tea collection that feels “out of control” to feel more “under control!”
Ways to Sipdown
There are lots of ways to go about challenging yourself to sipdown more tea! Here are a few I’ve heard. Do you have a favorite method? Share your thoughts in the thread and I’ll add it to the list!
-Drink by Date: Clear out the oldest tea in the cupboard first, making room for the newer, fresher tea.
-Drink by Rating: Clear out lower-rated teas, either by experimenting with new ways of drinking them or gifting/trading them away!
-Sampler Sipdown: Focus on samplers or tea packages depleted to just a few servings, by making a dedicated area in the cupboard for teas that meet this criteria. They go quickly and can free up a lot of space!
-Randomizer: There are lots of different ways of using random generators to select a tea to focus on; the surprise from the random selection can be a lot fun!
-Keep Current on Subscriptions: Signed up to any tea subscriptions? Keep caught up on drinking subscription tea so it is out of the cupboard before the next subscription box shows up!
-A to Z of Tea: Drink a cup of tea with each tea name beginning with a different letter of the alphabet, in alphabetical order! It’s a good way to work through cups while having a lot of variety!
-Tea Bracket Tourney: Select 16 teas (or more or less, depending on your preferences) and pair them off in a bracket-style tournament to see which tea makes it to the end! This is a great way to get several cups in of a single tea that is doing well in the tourney!
-Cupboard Clearout: Have packages of tea that have been sitting around because they just aren’t favorites and you can’t seem to get through the packages no matter how hard you try? Then consider hosting a cupboard sale at the Official Stash Sales Thread (https://www.steepster.com/discuss/6840-official-stash-sales-thread), or heading over to the Tea Swaps Board (https://www.steepster.com/discuss?category=tea-swaps&page=2) and starting a Traveling Tea Box or seeing if you can trade/gift your unwanted tea!
The Zen of Sipdown: Acquiring Less Tea
The best sipdown efforts in the world become a moot point if the amount of new tea acquisitions from orders, trades, tea boxes, and gifts exceeds the amount of tea being sipped down. The idea of decreasing the total amount of tea in the stash to a point of feeling in control and happy (note that this “amount” will be unique and different for everyone!) is to drink more tea that you already have than you are bringing in. Here are some tips to help make that possible:
-If you order a lot of tea, set a budget that can’t be exceeded to help curb impulse or binge buying.
-Unsubscribe from tea company mailing lists to resist the urge to jump at every sale e-mail that comes in.
-Go “window shopping”: create carts on tea sites but wait a week before buying. Often the browsing/cart building is the most “satisfying” part, and a week later you may feel different about actually purchasing the items!
-Do not be afraid to say “no” or not participate in teaboxes, tea exchanges, and group-buys.
-Don’t be part of “enabler culture” when you know someone is working hard toward sipdown goals/reducing their cupboard; for some, saying “no” to proposed teaboxes, tea exchanges, and group-buys on a site filled with fellow tea-lovers can be very difficult! Remember to always be supportive of someone working toward sipdown/cupboard reduction goals and never take someone’s decline for a swap personally.
Remember, working towards proper cupboard management does not mean you can never place a new tea order or jump into a teabox or tea swap: it’s about finding and maintaining the right balance for you and your cupboard. Create sipdown goals for yourself! If you meet those goals, feel free to reward yourself with some new tea! Attempt to keep new orders coming in less than the amount of tea cleared out, and cupboard numbers will start to drop!
Monthly Sipdown Challenge
This month, try to find and drink as many teas from this scavanger hunt item list as possible! (Feel free to interpret the items as you see fit, and remember, don’t make a new tea purchase just to “check off” an item from the list… if you are missing something, consider it a reminder of your excellent cupboard management progress!)

My tea stash is not actually that large, but it’s definitely grown since I became active on Steepster! Setting myself a modest goal of sipping down 75 teas this year. I don’t track my cupboard, so I don’t know how many total teas I have, but this should put a dent in things (…or at the very least, keep pace with my one monthly subscription). I consider something a sipdown if I originally had at least two servings of it.

Thank you for taking over this year, ashmanra!
My stash was intense before, but thanks to advent calendars, holiday sales, and gifts, it is completely out of control and overflowing now. So I have two goals – finishing off the advent calendars, which I’m not counting towards my sipdowns, and actually sipping down my stash.
Sipdown goal: 100
January
1 sipdown
New Year’s – a tea I love: Ippodo Premium Gyokuro
February
2 sipdowns
A tea swap tea: Dessert by Deb Matcha Key Lime Pie
March
7 sipdowns
International Irish Whiskey Day: Simple Loose Leaf Herbal Pinacolada
A tea you won’t repurchase: DavidsTea Lavender Buttercream
A tea with a leaf in the logo: Chatime Premium Jasmine Milk Tea
Thanks for continuing this ashmanra ! I’m hoping to get my cupboard down to 100 teas eventually, but as I’ve just upped my count by 24 I don’t think that’ll happen any time soon, so I’m just going to say if I can get to under 200 this year I will be happy! So that’s 80 sipdowns for the year. I’m going to work on rotating my teas more too, so will have a cup for each prompt and then work on sipping the selected teas down once I’ve done that. Looking forward to making progress!
