Cold brew of the day!
This was a sample from Kittenna that I was excited to try, since I’ve had lychee candy and fruit but never tea, and I heard that it was quite floral. I love floral teas. Looove them, even if they taste kind of like perfume. I guess I’m just weird like that! This steeped longer than usual because I put it in the fridge too early last night and woke up later than expected, so it got about 16 hours. Well, it still turned out well!
It’s so sweet and fruity, kind of like drinking fruit juice. Refreshing for sure! The floral element is nice and strong, similar to rose but more subtle. It’s balanced well with the fruit, so it’s not too fruity or too floral (and now I feel like Goldilocks). I’ve been cold brewing so many greens and whites that I kind of forgot what iced blacks taste like: it’s a more traditional iced tea for sure, reminiscent of the sun tea my mom used to make as a kit. And cold it’s fantastic, probably better than it would be hot. I have enough left for another big cup, so I might try hot-brewing it… but it’s so good this way I just want to make more iced!

Seriously, you were so awesome for me to swap with since I had such a backlog of nasty floral teas to offload! I am going to keep you in mind the next time I have a horde of them to get rid of, since they seem to be going quite well for you!
I’ve definitely been enjoying all the floral blends you sent me! It’s always nice to send tea to a person you know will appreciate them more than you. Which reminds me, I have a few I need to put up for swapping because I know I will never get around to finishing them… I just feel bad taking them out of their tea-home!
