Tea Collection 🫖 Declutter & Reorganization

[@binkybombastic6200]

Ahaha, an old Q&A from 9 years ago was recommended to me today and one question was „do you think you will always be obsessed with tea?“ or something like that and your response was „no I think the obsession will fade at some point.“ Well, here we are. 😄

Single cup Pour over seems like the best option for occasional one cup of coffee

[@JordanSmith-bn3zp]

In theory yes, but it takes much longer and more focus than pressing a few buttons. With a small baby, it's not possible to be as attentive if you're busy focusing on the multiple steps of pour over coffee. Getting the water ready / boiling. Prepping cups, coffee (even more time if you buy whole beans), making sure to pour slowly to brew the coffee longer, pouring just enough water, adding your optional sugars and creams. So really a pour over takes much much longer than a coffee machine.

[@linibellini]

I was not at all prepared for the other section of loose leaf tea 😂 I don’t usually comment but I’ve been watching your channel for so many years now, I think originally I subscribed for the hair and make up tutorials. But it’s so nice because it turns out you have so many of my interests covered in your videos with sewing, other needlework, drinking and hoarding tea, home remodelling / interior design, gardening and now also the pregnancy and baby content (I’m currently 9 months pregnant!). It’s really fun to see someone be on such a similar journey! Also if you’re interested (not trying to be a smart a*s, I promise), “søstrene” in Søstrene Grene has the emphasis on the first syllable :)

[@piyusarkar3065]

For occasional use, french press or pour over is much better I guess. Your machine won't be used that often and it's probably a hassle to clean when not in frequent use

[@lightupdarkness1362]

30 minute tea video??? Yes, please!

[@Quntah888]

I’ve put some tea in a little tiny handmade cushion and put it in my sock drawer 🤭 it smells amazing, though the tea itself was disappointing

[@r3nlock]

That's actually a really good way to use fragrant but disappointing tea!

[@Brigi_K]

Some of those teas look really beautiful, especially the one with the cornflower. I wish I wasn't so boring with my tea taste, but I really dislike the flowery ones. Btw I'm a long time subscriber and silent watcher, but decided to be a little more assertive when it comes to commenting because algorithm reasons and to let you know that I always look forward to your videos.

[@amytegner2062]

i always feel so much comfort in watching your videos. thank you for being so wholesome

[@calatheaflamestar4924]

Girl, and here I thought I was crazy owning 10-15 types of tea 😅 As someone who LOVES tea and needs hot drinks to stay warm, your tea collection is like PARADISE!😭🙏😍

[@_ANDRA_01]

I was ever interested in tea ? No. Am I now ? Absolutely. Why was this video so interesting, i have no idea, but I wanted so bad to smell the tea'sss😅 I love how cozy and calming (?) your videos are😊

[@HannahHappyHomemaker]

Ok, so I organized my tea drawers after watching this and realized they were sadly neglected! I went searching for some lovely teas to add and discovered an amazing tea shop that is fairly local to me with tons of Pacific Northwest inspired teas! I wanted to try so many I opted for the 1/2oz sample sets and chose 15 teas! lol! I also got a stunning infuser mug! Thanks to you I drank 1.5 quarts of tea yesterday and I’m so excited to get all my new options and renew my love of tea! Some of the names are so fun, Northern twilight Beards Hollow Exultant Peninsula High Tide Arch Cape Dark River City Grey And many more!

[@itsjustmel1217]

My favorite part was when you shook the tea jars, very happy tea witch vibes, hehe. 😊

[@jadakowers590]

Down here in hot, hot, hot southeast Fl, I take my leftover tea and make iced tea with it. When only an iced beverage will do, it’s a nice way to use up any left over tea. If you’re hot and thirsty, drinking a pint within a couple of minutes is easy to do. I don’t mix all the different left over teas together like some people do.

[@rosecat5638]

This was so relaxing to watch/listen to as I sip on some tea myself. My bf and I ended up with a rather large tea collection when we moved in together this past summer. I’m determined to use it or loose it for most by the end of winter as it’s taking up a whole shelf and then we got more as gifts after I recently had a surgery, thankfully while I’m recovering at home I’ve been rather happy drinking tea as it’s very comforting. My hope is I’ve put a big dent in the teas by the time I’m fully healed.

[@Dragonflypearl]

I picked up some tea today;). Now I want a new special mug/cup. Simple pleasures ;❤

[@carmelnoel5810]

Just a heads up they make reusable pods for those coffee machines that you can fill with coffee of your choice - less waste and you can source your coffee from more ethical farms that way!

[@sekaihatsu]

I am now making tea to sip while watching this and looking through my tea "cupboard".😊

[@kamliko]

This was so nice watching because I also have a big tea collection and know the struggles of keeping them organized. Getting rid is always so hard for me. Finishing a favourite that I can't replace makes me keep them around forever.

[@StrongImaginationA]

Oooh I have the Witch Brew too and I bought it at Castlefest! Maybe that viewer bought it there too. I quite like it! Thanks for the lovely video, I love just watching people talk about tea. Gonna tackle my own cupboard today, thanks for the reminder. 😁

[@kellybryson7754]

So glad I'm not the only one with a crazy amount of tea!

[@user-fq4ni3bv6z]

These are my favorite!

[@HannahHappyHomemaker]

I highly recommend a stainless steel moca pot/Italian espresso maker for your coffee maker! I drink coffee daily and got rid of my coffee maker in favor of this! I got one that has a copper accent and it’s lovely and small as well as making wonderful coffee! Mine makes “6” shots of espresso so I make one 22oz coffee each morning in a good insulated cup and sip on it all day :)

[@Loepsie]

We have one! It doesn't work with our induction cooktop though, and we haven't gotten around to buying a coverter for it yet 😅

[@HannahHappyHomemaker]

@@Loepsie ah that makes sense! I love mine but I’ve heard amazing things about the Nespresso machine! You inspired me to go through our tea drawers(yes we have two lol) and sort and put my loose into mason jars!! I’m hoping to try some that you recommended too! Just hope I can get them in the US :)

[@HannahHappyHomemaker]

Also, as a mama myself I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed watching you over so many years and bloom into so many new things! Sewing, marriage and now motherhood!! :)

[@elfenscheisse]

This is why I stay subscribed to this channel! Because only here you can find A Half an hour-Video about TEA!! With all my single tea bags in addition to my jars and my medicine teas, I guess I currently own about at least 80 different sorts. Besides, I personally don't think decluttering tea is needed since it is a grocery. So you can always drink it as long as it is not gone bad, and then it's gone and if you don't like it, someone else will drink it. But I have a very stupid question: how can someone that doesn't tolerate caffeine at all drink coffee. Or is it decaf?

[@Loepsie]

Yep, decaf only! 😊

[@LauraPelofske]

Recently I went through my horde and decided to keep 2 black, 2 green, 1 oolong, 1 white, and 2 herbal teas in the kitchen. 8 is such a strict limit to me, but I managed! All the other tea that I still wanted to keep went into a tight sealing storage container, in the basement where it stays cool. Then when I need to restock, I go to the container. I still have a drawer of samples, odd single bags, and other drink mixes as well. It's so easy to have it get out of hand!

[@Celebrinthal]

This video inspired me to tackle my own (though significantly smaller) tea and coffee collection 😂 I found a remainder of some tea that I got as a gift from Sri Lanka years ago. It hadn't seen the light of day for at least 5 years...

[@emmaRBC]

I was obsessed with Søstrene Grene when I lived in Denmark. They have an online store but its not the same as wandering round the cute shop!

[@Heather-fx4qm]

I love tea! Hot or cold I drink it all day ❤

[@TolstojsNiece]

Oooooh I just got super excited when you pulled out the Magic Mum tea - I work in one of their stores and was just thinking about some stores opened in the Netherlands this year and last year!

[@SGRmoss]

I love the tea decluttering videos ❤ Hope you have a darling weekend!

[@nooneofconcequince]

Love your tea decluttering videos ❤❤❤

[@plushieangela]

oh, they make reuseable pods that fit in those coffee machines. You'd just have to scoop in the coffee you wanted

[@stone.durfey5862]

Lovely relaxing video. Enjoyed this tea talk visit with you. And I had to have a hot drink as well. Not tea this time but hot chocolate as a treat. I do have favorite teas, mostly herbal fruity teas. Which I need to get for the cooler months. Have a lovely day dear and give baby a hug and kiss for me. I miss my baby childcare days.

[@xoxBigHugxox]

I hate English Breakfast Tea (I've got to say that quite or they might kick me our of the country 😂) but I've recently discovered peppermint, lemon and ginger tea and I drink it all the time now, its my go to hot drink, I feel like it's just good for my belly, it soothes any nerves I have 🤌 perfect. I'm now thinking of branching out and trying a few new flavours, lots of these sound delicious xxx

[@jessicastevens5782]

sugar cubes are cute to stack up in gingerbread houses 😀

[@notsotara5263]

You should mix all your remainder teas together and see what it tastes like.

[@piyusarkar3065]

You know you should mix all the tea you're about to discard and make a cup of Frankentea (I'm definitely inspired by Safiya)

[@ChelseaSteeb]

OMG Granko honeyyyy 😅😂😂😂 I didn't realize, it must be vegan? I've been making hot chocolate with Zajíc and some chocolate drops or powder. Funny to see Granko ❤

[@Loepsie]

It is vegan! As far as I can tell, in any case. I'm not sure about their source of vitamin D but I don't tend to dig that deep 😜

[@ChelseaSteeb]

@@Loepsie 😱 I wouldn't even think about that... probably couldn't even label me as a vegetarian while popping Czech vitamin D's, I bet. 🤢🤪

[@verad9917]

Oooooh i see a czech ginger tea and granko yes! 🎉❤😂

[@asiartandcraft]

that masala tea is first brewed in water later milk is added that's way it tastes better

[@michipichi0]

I want to show my dad this video so he will no longer think that me and my mom's tea cupboard contains an outrageous amount of tea haha I only wish it did

[@Loepsie]

[@sallybeazlie6901]

I love tea and am thunking about trying loose leaf teas. Any recommendations on places to begin or good company’s to start with?

[@Ali-xc5sz]

Please do bologna’s this year ❤

[@GiGiWellness28]

I love tea as well, however, drinking tea makes me thirsty, so I've stopped, while my tea collection still in the cupboard 😢

[@MadalinaS55]

I've always wanted a wooden box for tea bags, but do their aromas mix when put together in the box? That's my concern, lol.

[@Abdulrahman-wl2cg]

❤❤

[@Rustconfetti]

You can buy a reusable coffee capsule

[@Miss.Denise94]

I'm starting to suspect, that you like tea

[@justlifeacoustic]

Finally someone who gets the tea flowers! Pretty but never ever taste good!

[@Leolvr]

Hello, what is the watch you are wearing? 🙂

[@Leolvr]

I looked up the Teardrop of Peony from the NL company but can’t translate the website 😢 I also wanted to find the Winter tea you mentioned from the Cabinet of Curiositeas and could not find that either. Any help would be appreciated! I am new to the world of tea but have been enjoying loose leaf blends from Plum Deluxe and Adagio

[@nicolep0789]

What do you use to make your labels? Right I hand write labels on painters tape and I want to do something that looks nicer.

[@Loepsie]

I cut out the bit of packaging that has the tea name, ingredients and brewing instructions and stick it to the top of the jar 😂 It's not the most aesthetic but it's practical and in my setup, the tops aren't visible anyway

[@Frinxmodi]

I need a list and link if possible for all your favourite teas

[@Frinxmodi]

@Pauline-j8k oh nice ! Thank youuu ❤️❤️❤️

[@r3nlock]

Where can I find the brand that mentioned the spring blossom and rooibos chai? When I look up Kaldi it brings up a coffee company.

[@Loepsie]

It is the coffee company! They sell teas as well :)

[@dianastan6541]

What tea isn’t allowed in pregnancy? Or plants?

[@aubreyjanuary9809]

Man, now I wanna buy some teas, haha. How come there were certain teas you couldn’t have while pregnant? Which ones were they?

[@Loepsie]

Anything containing fennel, aniseed or cinnamon isn't safe, as well as some more unusual ingredients like eucalyptus or pine needles. Regular tea only in moderation because of the caffeine, and licorice or star anise are not recommended if you need to watch your blood pressure. There's more of them, but this is off the top of my head 😂 Pretty much every herbal blend I have ended up containing something that's not recommended 🙃

[@aubreyjanuary9809]

@@Loepsie ah, that’s interesting and a bummer

[@dottiewi661]

Sadly, we can’t smell these teas with you 😊 Important though: peppermint and sage diminish the milk supply.

[@matiaibba4956]

Why coulnd't you drink herbal tea while pregnant? Often better than teas with caffeine right?

[@Bricolage-ph]

Oeh, waar komt je glazen theekop vandaan? 😮 ❤

[@Loepsie]

Ikea! 😄

[@daviddavidsen907]

I don't get the "collecting" of tea, isn't a "collection" something u acumilate to keep and have? Do you not drink your tea? Why do u collect a food item just to have it without drinking it? And if you drink it, why call it a collection and not mabey a "stock" a stock of tea? Or a "selection" of tea? Would be less confucing. But intresting non the less to see all the weird things people "collect"

[@Loepsie]

Ah see, this might be an instance where you can tell English is not my native language :) My urge to call this a collection might also come from the longstanding KZbin tradition of sharing makeup "collections", which are also made up of consumables. I haven't given it much thought tbh 😂

[@lightupdarkness1362]

@@Loepsie As a native English speaker, you're not wrong! Collection can simply mean a "group of things." It does not necessarily mean a group of "collectables" - which are objects generally kept for viewing, but not to be used up even if they are consumable (model cars, stamps, coins, rocks, designer bags, etc.) Consequently, talking about a "collection of collectables" is just called a "collection" for simplicity's sake but it is not the common meaning or use of the word "collection" to only be talking about collectables. The above commenter was using too narrow a definition.

[@p.q.4497]

@@Loepsienative speaker here and yes, you definitely have a collection of tea! The way you used it is completely correct 👍🏽
