Sipdown (173/179)!

Yummy pineapple brown sugar spongey glaze thing! This was a happy moment in my otherwise sucktacular day yesterday. I’m sending the last bit to Sil so I hope she likes it! I’m very sad to be out of this one; but I think it’s definitely one of those ones that has to be shared.

If I had a chance to get it again, I probably would though…

Sipdown (174/180)!

Thanks VariaTEA for the sample. In a moment of clarity I finished this off last night. I actually really liked it, but I didn’t think it tasted any different than the regular Creamy Eggnog and I’m not sure if that’s because I’m sick or if the difference is really subtle.

I think I would need to directly compare to really solve the puzzle, and I happen to be out of both, so probably not going to actually happen…

Leaving unrated because not sure how accurate I was tasting things yesterday.

Yummy cold brew; I was feeling slightly less ick yesterday so I allowed myself some nicer teas such a this one. I was thankful I could still taste it…

So I needed to pack up a swap thinger for Sil but, uhh, sick – so I’ve been trying to avoid actually handling my tea or tea things too directly; somehow I convinced Tre to help me package things up for her which is a miracle in an of itself. I think he took pity on me because of the pitiful wheezing…

So, Sil got samples of things she requested specifically but also of every single Tea Desire blend I own. Really, she should be thankful for the sick because this package has less than 20 teas in it because I knew Tre was getting impatient: if I’d been doing it myself I would have flooded your cupboard with things!

It also turned into a “nibbling on things from the tin” type of night – which is why I don’t feel so bad making a “tasting note” under the generic headline. Umm, I did taste some things…

So I ate (all Tea Desire blends):

- Chocolate coated Banana bits (Banana “Tea” Chocolate Cream)
- Caramel Chunks (Caramel Pu’Erh)
- A candied Strawberry (Buddha Bamboo)
- Some Kiwi (Pricky Pear)
- A Walnut (Walnut Truffle)

Yummy!

Made in my timolino days ago…

I saved it for after work, took one sip of the yummy brew, and realized it was 10PM, my everything hurt like a mother trucker and caffeine was the last thing I needed in my system if I was going to actually fall asleep and feel somewhat rested…

So, I sadly dumped it onto the concrete. What a waste. Being sick blows.

Sipdown (175/181)!

This whole being sick thing blows! Everyone is drinking tasty teas and getting lots of sipdowns and here I am; haven’t written a tasting note in three bloody days, everything hurts like a motherfucker and I can count the number of teas I’ve had over the last three days practically on one hands!

I miss my tea!

I’m praying to the Gods that when I wake up tomorrow, on my day off, I’ll feel better and miraculously healthy so I can drink some good stuff! If I’m still sick that’ll make for seven days in a row… Wah!

But yeah; tea and stuff. It was peachy; too peachy. I didn’t like it this time around but I needed it, because the thirst from breaking down pallets is a thing. A BAD MOTHERFUCKING THING. So even though it made me wince with its peachy peachness not a single drop went to waste.

Not gonna miss this.

This was not a pleasant sipdown, but that’s my fault…

I thought this tasted wonderful and boozey the first time I had it, so I figured I’d add in some Butter Ripple Scnapps to enhance that taste. Bad choice; turns out I’ve created a concoction that tastes like rubbing alcohol. Never again.

Even sadder than this being my last cup of this tea? That was the last of the schnapps too. I finished it out of guilt, but it was not good.

Sipdown (177/183)!

Because I’m feeling a touch better I allowed myself to finish off some nicer teas tonight, like this one! I thought this was an exceptionally smooth vanilla cup and a great way to say goodbye to it. While I don’t plan to reorder anytime soon, I’d be happy to have this in my cupboard again at some point so it may see a return one of these days – maybe closer to Christmas?

Farewell surprisingly tasty vanilla green tea!

Sipdown (178/184)!

Yeah, my cupboard is back up a few numbers again, despite the couple of sipdowns I’m getting in today. But that’s because my 52Teas order came in this morning right before I left for worK! I’m excited to dig into the new ones because they look so good, but I’m waiting to open the packages until I’ve done some more sipdowns…

Somewhere right before my shift ended, I think my fever broke because I’m starting to feel significantly better! I’m hoping a restful sleep tonight will be enough to seal the deal on the whole “health” front because I know I have another four skids waiting for me to break down tomorrow. Shoot me now.

I finished this one off by having it hot, on the bus ride home. Obviously I didn’t brew it on the bus – I made it this morning, I just waited to have it. I think I actually liked it much better hot: that sorta weird “soap” taste wasn’t as present, and I thought it was a little bit sweeter too. That said, I don’t feel the need to pick up any more of it: I got to play around with this limited edition blend, and really that was good enough for me.

I will slightly nudge up my rating though.

Extending the line of “Lemon” sick teas, I cold brewed this up for work today. Of course, for most of my work shift I felt like dying – I hurt so damn much. And of course, I had to break down even more pallets of stock today – though this time all by myself.

I don’t think my body will ever forgive me.

I took the time to have a “photo op” infront of the skids today and I may post the pictures later tomorrow if I’m not too tired. Shhh! Don’t tell my manager…

I wonder if I’ve ever cold brewed this before? I can’t remember doing so. Anyway, I really didn’t like it cold brewed – mostly it tasted like very intense Guayusa and that made me feel really nauseous right after all the labor work. I dumped it and filled the thermos with cold water instead, because I still needed something to hydrate me…
