Made this as tea soda while having a fun, lowkey games type night with my family. We played a couple rounds of Sushi Go! which I picked up months ago (after seeing it on Tabletop) but haven’t had anyone to play with yet. It was super fun and easy to pick up – I’d love to play more to try and work on the strategy side of it.
This tea soda was really nice; I was saying to someone in the Steepster chat the other day that I hadn’t found an oolong yet that I really like as a soda which is why I chose to make this one tonight. It wasn’t very strong/powerful and actually had more of a subtly flavoured “Carbonated Spring Water”/spritzer kind of vibe but I think that was actually a good thing because it meant I could taste some of the delicate aspects of the tea like the floral and peachier notes of the oolong. And of course the raspberry.
Also, I already wrote today about doing the written part of my test but I also did the presentation portion too. This module’s presentation was a comparison of two similar but different teas highlighting what makes them different and even though I prepped to talk about oolongs on a whim I switched to talking about Chinese and Japanese green teas. I think I did well; wish me luck! I probably wont know how I did overall for another couple of days, though.

My brother just bought Sushi Go! for our next family get together. Glad to know it was super easy. The fiance does not do well with card games and the learning curve.
My husband says it’s a great game. Nichole – there is a Tabletop episode about it your brother might watch to learn it.
I’ll have to check it out. My brother is into games. He just MC’d a Game Con in Indy.
There are so many games I want to pick up: Dixit, Concept, Tokaido, and Once Upon A Time (all have been featured on Tabletop) to start. My family doesn’t do great with board games but I can usually get them to sit down for a card game. Sushi Go! it easy to pick up, but there’s a surprising amount of strategy to it too. Next, I’m gonna try and work my family up to playing role playing games like Fiasco or Dread with me!
