tea-sipper drank Candy Cane by The Angry Tea Room

Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – September Tea #9-A tea with a strong aroma

I feel if any tea is worth its salt, it should probably have a strong aroma, so I think many teas would be appropriate for this aroma prompt! But I went with this one… the best candy cane tea. Sadly it seems Angry Tea Room has folded. Even though I will still be working on their Christmas advent from many years ago this year. (Possibly they made their advents too big? But that is why I bought it. :D) Anyway, I couldn’t ask for more from a candy cane tea. Fierce mint and sweet from actual candy cane pieces. Could I throw in my own candy canes to a black tea? Sure. But I like the perfect balance here. Also, just want to throw in that my current book is ‘Hell of a Book’ by Jason Mott and it’s a special book.

It seemed like a lot of their teas were from Adagio so maybe this one is too?

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!
