An Ode to Tea challenge – Y
AND Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge Friday, April 9th: National Unicorn Day Tea #1

Yeti is a magical creature, maybe?  So this works for Y and for the Unicorn Day challenge!  And it’s a sipdown.  I’m written about this one before… this reminds me more like a sea urchin but I guess it also seems like a yeti!   The flavor is light and lovely. Tea in general is still magical to me, so I could have chose many magic teas today.
2021 sipdowns: 44

I’m realizing now how far of a stretch yeti/magic is. :D

AH Wendigo has a blend called Baba Yaga Chaga!!!! That might be my favorite tea name ever.

Mastress Alita

I’d like to note the themes do not have to be interpreted the way I interpreted them — honestly, I thought most people would pick teas that have a taste or flavor profile that is “pure magic” to them. I needed to do something different since I’m trying to get my alphabet sipdown efforts in. While I always say “don’t take it so literally” and “be creative” it seems too many take it too literally. :-P

tea-sipper

Yeah, I am trying to think of the themes in a variety of ways!

Mastress Alita

Though to be fair, the Mermaid tea I had today was a pretty magical experience! (I also love the tea name “Baba Yaga Chaga”!)

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!
