Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – April Tea #1 :A tea paired to the weather

I’m SO FAR BEHIND in reading tasting notes!  17 days behind!  Anyway… I started this tea yesterday but I’m having the second steep today… then realized it fits for the challenge today!  It’s a MISTY weathered tea.  It’s also probably misty out there somewhere after it was warm yesterday, colder again today, drizzly.  This tea is also one of Frank’s ancient versions.  I’ll be sad it’s gone but it’s also good to finish something old.   Love the marshmallowy spearmint.   Even the second steep got a big ol YUM from me! Wooowww, the previous tasting note for this is telling me the first round of the ’Here’s Hoping’ teabox was almost ten years ago! What is time anyway?

It’s a Graveyard Mist day here too, except I seem to be without this tea! (living vicariously through you atm)

That sounds really good. Also, the name is pretty epic.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

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!
