Sipdown, 162. I used the rest of my sample of this one as a cold brew.
Unsurprisingly, this one was quite good as a cold brew. At the specs I used (about 3tsp, 12oz water, 8 hour steep), it was very light and refreshing, with enough flavor to make for a tasty drink. I found the cold steep with way less vanilla and more florals, but all the notes were there, just subtly interacting. I realized once I was most of the way through my bottle of it that it reminded me strongly of some of the gewurtztraminer white wines I’ve had… rose and jasmine notes, with light citrus and goji berry, which is almost standing in for the grape here. In particular I had a dry gewurtztraminer once and this is very similar, but without any alcohol, obviously. Quite lovely, and definitely an iced tea I’d like to have again. Maybe I’ll eventually pick more of this one up!

I’m so jealous… my tea cupboard envies yours.
Haha Sil… I spent too long with a huge cupboard that never seemed to shrink. I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere. And your cupboard can feel better about itself by looking at Kittena’s :D
