May Sip Down Progress!

 Hello friends! <3

Making slow but some progress on things...

In May, I continued with grand cru matcha and totally nutty. Finished the raspberry matcha. Tried some samples from the tea mail swap group. I'm getting used to drinking iced tea again. I usually prefer it hot. Loved the cinnamon spice one. It reminded me of the heart candies <3

I went exploring in a nearby town and wandered in a few antique shops. At one place, you could rent a booth/space and sell pretty much whatever. There was a booth with various teas and spices. I chose this tea to try. I almost got a few more, but decided not to as I figured I could go back another time.

Thoughts:

I love this jsk! <3 The print has cute deer, flowers and beautiful forest scenery. It's a soft pink color that makes the print stand out just enough to be noticed. I think it could work for either a toned down sweet look or classic depending how one coords it. I'm looking forward to wearing it sometime soon. Maybe to a picnic or when visiting the botanical gardens.

Yes, I now have these in three different colorways lol. I really like them. I did not have a brown pair before and am glad I was able to obtain these. I plan to wear them with chocolate rosette and possibly honey cake or the art museum jsk.

April Sip Down Progress!

Hi friends! <3

I am starting to get used to my new place. The tea station is all set up and organized. This will definitely help me be more focused on sipping down...

In April, I finished chai french vanilla, jasmine green, berry berry, and a few samples/singles. Also continued with sticky rice oolong and totally nutty. I loved the frozen raspberry one cold brewed. The lemon one from clipper was great when brewed normally (hot).

I did not buy anything this month. Instead, I got some freebies and traded in a fan group online.

I have decided to not set any more goals moving forward, as I would rather just enjoy what I'm drinking as it happens. Thanks for understanding.

March Sip Down Progress & April Goals!

 Hi friends! <3

It's been a crazy past month for me. I moved into my own place around the end of March, and have been busy unpacking/arranging things. Understandably, I was not very focused on my sip downs. I tried my best though...

In March, I finished Stash: Holiday Chai. Started on Twinings: Chai French Vanilla and Touch Organic: Jasmine Green. Also continued on DavidsTea: Grand Cru and Raspberry matchas.

I purchased a couple new teas, and got a sample freebie from a new tea brand called Cuppageek Teas...

I also got a bunch of new tea samples to try through a tea mail exchange swap group...

While I was setting up my tea station in the new place, I realized how much teaware I had. So, this is the only thing I added to my collection. It's a tea press that changes color with cold temperatures. I thought it would be great for making iced tea in the summertime...

For April, I plan to finish organizing my tea station and get back to focusing on my sip downs. Maybe I'll try to make a dent in all those loose sample ones from the swap. We will see how things go.
