sTEAp Shoppeeeeeeeeee why can’t you still be around? I love this tea STILL. I had four steeps over two days… this way I could use two entire teaspoons for a mug…so I didn’t feel like I was wasting a teaspoon. (It works best with two.) It’s such a GIVING tea. And I will never understand how just these few ingredients create such a flavor. Four steeps are wonderful, and I probably could have went with a half steep fifth. I was going to order more of this one shortly before sTEAp Shoppe disappeared, so that was a real shame. A traumatic lesson for me in ‘grab them while you still can’ which might be why I have too many teas. It’s Cinnamon Swirl Bread’s fault for my hoarding, I suppose. And even just going on a tea buying break makes me feel like small shops like this one have more of a chance to go out of business. sigh. I only have a couple teaspoons left. One of my top 10 teas forever.

One of the best things ever about steepster is being sick and miserable with the flu/cold/who the hell knows and being able to cheer myself by reading people effervescing about teas that they love. I adore this post. Thank you.
And thank you also for reaffirming that for all the downsides that hoarding might have, when you have had the foresight to hoard a tea such as this, that kind of joy is beyond the beyond. So YAY! Here’s to hoarding the happy-making teas, those fleeting cups of joy!
This fever may well be causing enthusiasm dangerously close to delirium.
Aw, I’m happy my tasting note brought some cheer to you, Evol. :D In turn, your comment made my day (and not just because it supports the hoarding… but you’re right, teas like this make the hoarding worth it… or I’m realizing today it is definitely more acceptable to me to hoard the small shops or just the teas I love.) I hope you feel better soon!!
:)
Thank you!
Indeed, feel better soon!
Sometimes delirious posts are the best ones we write … I’ll have to backtrack to the Great Food Poisoning Adventure of 2010 and see if I wrote anything worth chuckling over. I know I probably should have stayed off Facebook! (And agreed. Nice people hang out here!)
haha, gmathis. Well, you survived anyway. An yes, all the nice people are on Steepster. :D
I think that is why we deal with the poor spammers, site errors, lack of site updates, etc… the community here is just so awesome it’s worth it.
YES. But also, I know Steepster is run by a very small team of people and I’m much more forgiving because of that.
:)
Sending all y’all fairy dust of loveliness.
Ok, yeah, Evol, you ARE out of it. (Joking)
hehe
