tea-sipper drank Wild Grey by ESP Emporium

4307 tasting notes

Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – September 2024 Tea #6 – A tea Animal would drink
NOT sure what actually makes the tea “wild”… and I read through the description TWICE to make sure I wasn’t missing anything… no hints there. Anyway, I think Animal could appreciate the name anyway, so I thought it a good time to finish this one. The flavor is a little faded now. Fading away is not a problem Animal has had or will ever have.
2024 sipdowns: 68

edited to add: Actually, with the last two steeps, there was actually a ton of grapefruit flavor, so it ended on a good note. This was not a bad Earl green. Unfortunately, I don’t think they sell it anymore.

Ooo, I hadn’t thought about seeing if I had anything with “wild” in the name. I usually do. I think I may have Animal’s tea picked, though. Miss Piggy’s, too.

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!
