Sipdown (286)

My first set of law school exams are quickly approaching and I should be studying…instead, yesterday I I made my typical make-ahead breakfast sandwiches, honey sriracha tofu which was amazing, and then a tofu stir fry which was terrible and got thrown out. Then I made rice to go with the tofu. Then a shepard’s pie and a kielbasa & sweet potato skillet. You know what I didn’t do yesterday? Study :(. Oops. Hopefully not having to cook through the week will balance out the not studying yesterday.

Anyways, this morning I woke up and have still not started studying. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and tea. Because we need tea. I reached for this one because it is another older tea that is an easy sipdown. I like it but the hojicha really pulls me out of the marshmallow-y deliciousness and so it is not my favorite. Given that’s the case, I am content saying goodbye at this time, even if that good bye is forever. Thankfully I still have The Vanilla Marshmallow around to get my marshmallow fix.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
