An Ode to Tea challenge – Z
Another fun challenge idea! I’m not quite finished with the Tea Tournament but I thought I’d start this. Thanks very much, Mastress Alita! So my particular rules for the Ode to Tea challenge is that these teas MUST A) be a true sipdown! last steep session! OR B) be a tea I have never written about yet. So I will have 26 sipdowns OR it will get me to write about a new-to-me tea! I’m also starting at Z and working backwards because I’m already so far behind everyone anyway. :D
This tea is a sipdown! It’s an odd one but tasty and unique. It is the closest thing to being a Ruby varietal, while not actually being a Ruby varietal. It reminds me of the almond nougat in one of those chocolates. It’s really good! WHOA though – seeing HOW EXPENSIVE this is now when I went to see if they still had it. Whoa, thank you again for share, SkySamurai and I’m glad I finished it while it was fresh! Solid three steeps…. now wishing I went for a fourth.
2021 sipdowns: 43

Yum!
My goal is also 26 sipdowns, but unlike everyone else, I have to do my teas in no particular order. The way I can drink certain teas depending on if I have work or its the weekend, if its the day or evening, etc. would have made it way too limiting and impossible for me trying to go in order.
Yeah, that’s understandable, M A! I like the idea in order, but backwards, and I will get to them when I get a chance to get to them. :D
My trick is I drink my teas in whatever order, save my notes, then post them in the right order.
If I did that I’d have a slew of notes on the last day. Honestly, I seem to be the least fussed about it of everyone. :-P
To be fair, I have notes saved from months ago that I haven’t had a chance to post yet, so maybe my methods aren’t the best…
