October Sipdown Prompt – a brisk tea

I cold steeped this yesterday and I had some that had only been steeping for a couple of hours and some that had steeped over night plus a bit.

I think the briskness is what makes this tea interesting and flavorful as a cold steeped tea. I have been drinking sweet southern style iced tea all my life and a lot of black teas wouldn’t appeal to me as an unsweetened cold tea even though I drink my hot tea unsweetened.

This very fine cut leaf makes a lovely refreshing cuppa and the tin is getting closer to being an actual sipdown than I realized.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
