Additional notes:  Nothing to do for my crappy mood today but get tea spoiled.  Having some delectable favorites today:  52Teas – Berried Treasure, B&B’s Rice Moolong and this one.  I think I’ll be revisiting some very favorites in the coming weeks while also trying some new-to-me teas. I’m savoring this tea once in a while because not only is it discontinued but the flavor is still amazing.  Sure, it’s not as good as it was when fresh, but that tea magic doesn’t exist yet, of keeping teas fresh through any amount of time.  The hugest dried cherry I’ve ever seen went into the infuser. It was much bigger than a teaspoon.  This is a tea where the parceling of ingredients must be very careful. Otherwise you get all these cherries in the infuser!  CHERRYCHOCOLATE. COFFEE. Perfect blend. Perfect for today.

I also finished organizing my teas that I’ve been doing slowly over time.  That was fun.  What’s next? A calming yet haunting song for today: Ed Harcourt – The World is On Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlo9aQFUlyo

Flavors: Cherry, Chocolate, Coffee

I think this might be the very first tea I ever had from AQ2T…

Mine too! I didn’t get to try nearly enough of AQ2T teas, sadly.

I can’t believe they are gone! So many tea companies gone since I started drinking tea.

I was never a big fan of this one, but the other two you mentioned – soooo good.

Also still quite sad about AQ2T and Butiki – they both had a fairly high number of incredibly unique, memorable, delicious teas that I don’t think anyone will recreate. I desperately hope AQ2T comes back at some point in the future!

It’s always sad to see any, even small (thus worse), companies to close down. Some blends looks really tasty. But new ones will rise! As for example – Bird and Blend. I think they have quite nice chance to be in spotlight too.

Never had anything from AQ2T :/

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
