This was my cold brew yesterday, since I’ve been alternating between shan tuyet and lemony gunpowder for the last few days. The tea itself is very pretty and I love the tin. Mainly bought this for the tin last year. The smell is definitely fruity, you can detect that blend of pineapple and coconut but can also tell that they’re the flavoring versions of the fruits.
Had to break out the gram scale for this one because of how light and airy the tea is. 3 grams for 16 ounces of water was either too much or too little because it somehow tasted like cinnamon. A hint of pineapple, some coconut if you thought of coconuts while taking a sip, and a definite cinnamon note that overshadowed both of them. That’s a concerning thing to taste in a light tropical fruit green, so it made it hard to finish, but it’s still drinkable. Probably going to be mixing lemon juice and maybe a touch of honey into pitchers of this from now on. Assuming it would be good in the summer like that. In the middle of winter as a plain cold brew, ehhh, not so much.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Pineapple
