Additional notes: I have a bit of this remaining from Ost that is older, BUT it was on sale when I bought other teas, so I had to grab some. I don’t know why this has such a low Steepster rating! It does what it says it does: mint, chocolate, sugar sugar sugar. This batch seems a bit like alcohol, but with time it should be fine. May be less chocolate than I remember but with a good mixing, I’m sure the chocolate is there. Steepster is being extra glitchy today.

I have some of this tea from a few years ago, and the alcohol doesn’t go away completely. Still, it’s good for what it is.

Is yours stored in a tin or pouch? I have a small tin and I think the extra air lets it air out the alcohol a bit or something. I have hope for it! haha. The second steep that I steeped for about 15 minutes seems to have the alcohol gone.

Mine is in a tin as well and it’s about half full. Yeah, the alcohol is most noticeable in the first steep.

tea-sipper

hmm. I never really noticed the alcohol in the tin before, now that I think about it.

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.

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!

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.) :D

Happy sipping!
