August Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

More sip downs, yay...

In August, I was busy making cold brews with my pitcher. Then, drinking the premade stuff when it was ridiculously hot out and I didn't feel like doing much. Started on pink prosecco. Continued with grand cru and blueberry matchas. Went to a tea party with my friends last weekend and had hot tea. I liked the tie-dye butterfly better than the cherry berry punch. My favorite was the hot cinnamon spice one.  

I got more tea. A small order from Bird & Blend since they had a sale/free shipping deal going on. Matcha faves, Candy floss, and Bacon & blueberry mash-up. I've never had their matcha before and keep hearing how good it is. My order also came with a couple free samples- Strawberry lemonade and Mojitea...

These two came with a pretty card from someone in a tea swap group- Jasmine green (Tea forte) and Cinnamon plum (Republic of tea)...

Some more from the local shop- Acai berry green with raspberry, Chocolate covered strawberry puerh, Black pumpkin spice, and Berry bunch...

Finally, I picked these up at a thrift store...

Tea Time: Pink Prosecco!

 Hi friends! <3

I had this tea and thought it would make a good summertime cold brew. 

Let's try it out!

$10- Bird & Blend: Pink Prosecco- UK

Colorful loose leaf inside...

Getting everything ready to go...

Measured out the tea...

And added the water...

Chillin' in the fridge overnight...

How the loose leaf looks after steeping...

Ready to taste test...

Mmm!

Thoughts:

I really liked this tea! There was a sweet berry smell after opening. Once the water was added, it started changing color immediately. The final color was a nice deep pink like a raspberry. The tea was fruity; as if you were eating fresh berries. It had a very slight tartness, but that was barely noticeable. I would definitely get this again. Highly recommended!

Tea Party @ Asa Ransom House Meet-up!

 Hi friends! <3

The local comm decided to make a return visit to the Asa Ransom House. I brought my bf along to introduce him to everyone. I was also hoping to get a pic of us together, but he declined.

A lovely table setting...

Such pretty flowers on this tea cup and matching saucer...

Choosing from the different teas available...

Yay, the tea is here!

Starting with Paris. <3 My favorite <3

The tiered trays arrive... 

Yummy! <3

July Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

The sip downs continue...

In July, I have really been enjoying more of the Twinings cold fusions (especially the lemon and ginger one). Tried a few from a tea swap. Continued with tie-dye butterfly, grand cru and blueberry matchas.

I got a bunch of teas this month. A raspberry lemonade one...

Two flavored matchas and a new type of earl grey...

And these ones from a semi-local shop...

I also picked up a small version of the blender bottle. They are very handy for iced matcha lattes...

June Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Continuing on my sip downs...

In June, I continued with grand cru matcha. Finished the totally nutty. Started on blueberry matcha and tie-dye butterfly. I also enjoyed some Twinings cold fusions my bf has. The watermelon & mint one is my favorite.

I got a few teas this time. From a local shop: Cinnamon Buns, Raspberry Truffle, and Orange Vanilla White Chocolate...

And from Wal-Mart, this concentrated version to make lattes with. I've never had a london fog before, but I do like earl grey...

Finally, I got some tea ware items at the thrift store...
