Sip down! Man I really need a weekend so that I can get organized and get some of this tea out the door lol. I’m trying to get at least one sip down in a day, which is harder than it sounds since most of me tea has a few cups worth. However, there are a few that I can do a reasonably decent job of in a day or two. I’m also starting to organize my cupboard and pull out things that I’m willing to swap or want to swap.
So this tea? I’m actually a fan of it. It’s creamy and tangy and peachy and delicious. It’s not overly hibiscusy, and as a result there’s a really creamy peach vibe going on. I would for sure order this again, though preferably in summer so I can make it iced!
Random observations
a) I have way too many open half-packets of tea and tisanes. I have got to do some serious sipping down. (Surely this does not happen to you.)
b) Probably not a good idea to have a caramel Milky Way snowman before I tasted this. It’s messing with tastebud accuracy.
c) Hibiscus in peach tea? Seriously?
d) It’s bone-cold, cloudy, threatening to spit snow, I’m freezing; at the moment, the only flavor profile that matters to me is WARM. This is.
Regarding ‘a’ – I resemble that remark
baha if I sent you my list, you might faint!
Regarding ‘b’ you do this a lot, don’t you? I’m pretty sure you’ve spoken of milky way’s and tea before…
Regarding C) Interesting how when you are trying to avoid something, there seems to be a conspiracy to put it in everything. I have a similar problem with chocolate, particularly now that it’s the new health food.
There are many things to like about this tea- the aroma when opening a tin, the large pieces of fruit that make it look substantially edible. And so many not to like: the artificial flavoring that caused me to have to scrub out my tetsubin not once but twice, the excess of hibiscus that sours the whole thing up and necessitates sugar.
Still, my kids like it provided that I add lots of honey, then its really nice for them.
Do not allow this to steep for the recommended 8 minutes, the longer it steeps the more the hibiscus dominates the cup and masks the peach. 6 minutes is about right for me. YMMV.
And whatever you do, don’t steep this in a cast iron pot! Stick with porcelain so your next pot will taste like tea and not some flavoring agent.
I admire your dedication to sipdowns!
Haha I try. At this point it’s more necessity than anything. I’m hoping my other half will be working one of these days on the weekend so that I can just sit and go through my verdant reserve club teas. I’ve been holding off on those because I haven’t had a chance to just sit and relax and enjoy them. Plus I still want my cupboard down to 150 by November…when I decided that I was under 200….I’m now approaching 300 sigh
This sounds delicious! I’ve been eying upton recently, might have to add this one to my list.
I reorganized my Verdant TOMC & TOMCR into 2 boxes the other day, dividing each into monthly selections. Usually when they arrive, I sample them, & then the hoarding begins. So my goal is to drink from each of those boxes at least once a week. Once I’ve drank something it moves to the back of the box, unless it’s a sipdown, of course!
I try to do some similar kind of rotation with my other teas, otherwise I rapidly drink up my favorites & then wish I hadn’t!
