Maddy Barone drank Fruity Candy Crush Black Tea by 52teas

COLD BREW

Finished this off. Didn’t have enough to make a full half gallon, so I added some Sichuan Black from Tea Runners. With the weather up in the upper 90s and low 100s (35-40 Celsius) I have been sucking down iced tea like crazy. I am not sure when this hot spell will end, but not for the next 7 days at least. :O I hate hot weather!

The addition of the straight black tea altered this enough that I added a teensy bit of sugar to it. It might be that overnight in the fridge was too long, or maybe that black tea is a bit bitter. Whatever, I was still able to enjoy this.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
