Over the weekend I pulled out 2 huge plastic storage bins in the basement of tea. This is not surprising, I have 2348324294823049124 boxes and bins of tea mostly in my “tea room” (spare bedroom) and basement (but also all over house, all over my office at work, in my backpack/tote bag I carry with me everywhere, etc.). One was a Dessert by Deb filled bin from the early years of buying her tea. The other was ONLY boxes of teabag tea. A lot of Stash and David’s Tea, and this included a DT “Festive Favorites” tea wheel. 6 teas with 6 teabags each. 3 herbals, 2 black, 1 green.
Yesterday and today, I made my morning hot/plain cuppa as this tea with 2 teabags.
If I’m doing hot tea and want white or green, I do that in home kitchen as I’m getting ready for the day (have a kettle with different temp. settings, the only nice thing an ex-boyfriend ever bought me LOL). Work is only the tap in the breakroom (or yesterday at my parents or my boyfriend’s sister C’s house would have only been heating up water in microwave or something like that) where I mainly do herbal or black tea.
If you missed my note from 3 years ago, it’s pretty much the same thing. This is definitely the tea that was a gateway into exploring green tea (and along with herbal/tisanes, white, and oolong are my favorites general tea types). But as green teas go, sipping this is more nostalgia factor for me as this wouldn’t be a tea I would go to anymore…well also the fact this is old and I know green tea isn’t made for my long term hoarding er, storage, habits.
It will be fun to sipdown this box (a January 2024 goal) – even though it is from 2016 – as the other flavors are more old school DT flavors (Snow Day, Apple Cider, Sleigh Ride, Santa’s Secret, Chocolate Covered Almond).

Now, there’s a funny discussion topic—strange places you squirrel away your tea! (This may also apply to my book addiction as well.)
Yeah, this is the year that my tea collection finally spilled out of the kitchen! It kept taking over more and more cabinets and drawers, then some fridge space, and now half the liquor cabinet in the dining area. I’m trying to slow down the influx at least a little but…
