My cupboard number is in the teens (19 to be exact but will drop by 2 more this week). Thanks to minimalism, buying small amounts of tea, not buying teas that are similar to ones I already own, and being diligent about using up teas I am at a smaller number than I’ve seen in a year or more. I even moved my collection from a china cabinet to a cupboard and am now using the china cabinet for storing appliances like my crock pot and rice cooker- a much better use of space since I’m always struggling for a place to put them. Altogether it feels great!
Anywho- onto the tea: cold brewed for a day, 6 “perfect spoonfuls” (2.5tsp each) in 2L of water. The taste is a bit tart/ sour with maybe a slight citrus/orange peel taste. Altogether it’s okay- my husband says the aftertaste is a bit “pukey” (prob thanks to the rosehips- see my tasting note from a few days ago). Luckily I only have maybe 2tbsp left of this tea so I’m going to use it up right away and prob won’t repurchase. I much prefer Banana Cherry Fruit Tisane from iHOT.
Flavors: Citrus, Sour, Tart
Congrats on reigning in your tea collection! I am currently working on this too. :)
That is so awesome, Kristal!
thanks, guys! I did purchase stuff from verdant (it will only up my cupboard by 1, though) and I predict temptation will flare up with fall teas coming around the corner, but I will just continue purchasing small amounts unless I really like something ;)
Just checked the new fall teas from DAVIDs and yep, I will be buying about 3-4teas x 20g each (enough for 1 reg cup + 1 latte). It won’ t affect my cupboard number too much, though ;)
