Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – August Tea #4-A tea the flavor of a trail mix ingredient

So the last episode I watched of the sadly cancelled funny show ‘Mr. Mayor’ had a joke about how many cashews were acceptable in a trail mix (the answer was nine) and I’m like “WHAT who doesn’t like cashews, unless you’re allergic?!?!  Cashews are the best nut.” If a trail mix has any nuts in it, I prefer cashews.  So in protest of no one liking cashews apparently, I had to go with a cashew tea for this trail mix prompt.  I have two cashew teas.  Both from 52Teas (Frank’s blends).  This is NOT a sipdown.  Though this is older, I will be hoarding the last teaspoon, even if it is now mostly muted chocolate flavor.  So it’s ALMOST a sipdown.

Cashews are my favorite nut in the mixed nut tin!

I love cashews! I think the only nut I like more is pistachio…

Leafhopper

Agreed, cashews are the best nuts, especially if they’re salted.

AJRimmer

Ha I also think they’re the best – maybe the show writer didn’t survey enough people for that one :P

Yeah, wondering where Mr. Mayor did their polling! But maybe they just wanted to create outrage with cashew fans. :D

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.

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!
