Backlog. I made this for the first time in my new pitcher, which is smaller than my makeshift pitcher that I used before, so the flavor came out a lot more concentrated. I just leave the teabag in the pitcher to cold brew forever until I finish the pitcher usually, so maybe I’ll start taking it out. I like it even though it’s a long stronger, so maybe I’ll just leave it. Aanyway, I brought this tea to school today in a tinted bottle. It was all shaken up inside my bag, so when I took it out, there was a bit of foam at the top. All of this together made it look like I just poured some beer into my water bottle and called it a day, haha! I really hope other people in my class don’t think I’m an alcoholic…

Bio

I’m a California girl temporarily located in Boston for school (brrr). I only recently got into teas because I’ve never really liked coffee (too bitter), but I have been a daily barley tea drinker since I was little.

Through some timid tastings and exploring, I so far like:
-Japanese green teas (genmaicha, hojicha, sencha, etc)
-Oolongs! (Most kinds except formosa and dan cong so far)
-Straight black teas
-English Breakfast teas
-Fruity teas (peach, apple, strawberry, other berries)

NOT a huge fan of rooibos, matcha, heavily artificial tasting teas, or anything gingery or peppery, but I’m trying to keep an open mind and taste everything that I can!

I’m trying to sample more straight teas and have been having pretty awesome discoveries so far. Thank goodness for sample sizes!

My tentative rating system:
90-100: Woohoo! I’m loving it, and I’m definitely restocking when I get the chance and/or crying when I’m out.

80-90: Yum! I’ll try to restock if it fits in my budget when I run out.

70-80: Probably would not buy again, but it was nice enough to finish the cup.

50-70: Would not choose this tea for myself if given the situation, but would not reject it if someone offered it to me and would gulp down politely.

50 or less: Nope. Don’t care to taste that tea again, sorry!

I’m always down to swap, so send me a message if anything in my cupboard is calling your name!
