This was my mid morning cup. Delicious. Smooth. Just-right. I have acquired a nice variety of teas. Obviously, not nearly as many as othe Steepster-ites have, but very respectable. How in the world do people decide what to drink when??? Do things seem to disappear from view and then be re-discovered? It’s a dilemma, but a wonderful one to have.

My tea collection has spread out in a heap under my dining room table. I have a box of untrieds and a box of sipdowns (1-2 cups left), so unless I’m craving a specific tea, I just grab something from one of those piles. Because I have WAY. TOO. MUCH. tea, if I’m craving a particular category of tea, I can almost certainly find it in one of those two piles.
I forget I own about 1/3 of my teas until I stumble upon them while looking for something else. It’s always a fun surprise to find one you love.
I know that compared to many of you my tea cupboard is sparse. But it does fill most of three shelves. OK, most of two shelves, but the third shelf is my tea sacs and stuff. I’m telling myself NO MORE TEA. (except for when Minted Monkey from Tippy’s Tea becomes available again. I’m hoarding that sample like it’s gold.)
That’s what you say now, but then you swap with someone and it turns into 3 or 4 someones and all of a sudden you have 200+ teas you need to sip down!
LOL! I hope to be able to join a Traveling Tea Chest someday, but I’m not able to comment on the discussion boards. Stupid computers! But someday I hope to be able to share some of what I love (and don’t love) and be shared with. I love the idea of trying a tea out before I buy 50 grams of it. Someday!
