A sipdown! (M: 4 Y: 76)
In a week, three sessions of this tea; steeped for 2 or so minutes, best before date 2024-12-30, so not past the date, but anyway quite old apparently… not mentioning I just need to reduce amount of teas in my cupboard.
So, yes, happy with sipdown with flavourful cuppa… mostly cloves and cinnamon, sadly absolutely no almon or mandarin anymore here.
It was also somehow flat tasting. Well that was probably because the age. But as I wrote, it’s a sipdown, so I am happy to have another tea down. Now, let’s focus on some other one. Which one?

This sounds like it would have been a pretty stellar tea when the almond and mandarin flavors were present. I am not a fan of much clove, though.
I agree with ashmanra, given my fondness for Bigelow’s Constant Comment, which is a similar concoction, without the almond. For your sip-downs, I encourage you to sip your BEST teas down first! We never know when our number will come up, and “life is too short to drink bad tea”! So unless it’s a sheng Pu’erh that you’re saving for your mutual old age, drink up! As with money, you can’t take it with you! And, when you get to t(e point that he poorer teas just aren’t appealing, you can add them to the compost heap without compunction, for the benefit of your flower garden, and take comfort that it is FINALLY appropriate to acquire new tea!
