drank Chestnut by The Angry Tea Room
4267 tasting notes

Yep, it’s December already. Yep, it’s the old old old advent again! Rather than flood the tasting notes with my repeating notes for older teas for every single holiday tea I drink, I will probably just list them once in a while in an occasional tea note… I was the only one to ever write a note for this tea… meaning I was the only one on Steepster to ever buy Angry Tea Room’s advent? And now they are no longer. About half the teas in THIS advent are now gone. It just shows how long it takes me to finish teas, especially as I have made it a point to drink this advent at least once a year! It just seems even if I’m finishing around 150 packages of tea a year, even if they are sometimes samples, the number still doesn’t seem to go down very much in my actual Steepster cupboard. And as much as you all are generous, I’m definitely not acquiring 150 teas in a year either from any of you or my own purchases! I guess there are worse problems…

I don’t think I knew Angry Tea Room was gone!

They were probably gone within the last year or two. Luckily it seems my favorite blends (sometimes) are available from adagio.

Nattie

Aww not another one gone! ): I love chestnut tea, too. It’s one of my absolute favourite flavours.

Bummer I hadn’t heard that news either.

Not really NEWS about Angry Tea Room.. their site is just gone and no mentions of anything about it on socials.

Nattie

So they just vanished? Huh.

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!
