Hmm. So this is weird. I’ve brewed this tea hot a few times and always knew that it would make a better iced tea. So, recently I cold brewed a big batch of this. I did it in the laziest way possible by pouring in a bunch of tea into a pitcher and let it sit overnight. The next day, the tea was nice and crisp with peachy flavors. Well, I have since left it for about a week with the tea leaves sitting in the bottom and am now drinking it again this morning. And I’ll be damned if I’m not tasting a creamy peach strawberry(!?). The peach is there but underneath, almost an aftertaste, it keeps reminding me of a creamy strawberry flavor. I have no idea what is going on but I honestly don’t mind it. Very odd, is all.

Anyone else ever have this happen? Where you let a tea cold brew for a long time and the texture and flavor profile change on you?

Flavors: Creamy, Peach, Strawberry

Bio

Michigander, Husband, father of three, lover of tea, books, nature, gardening, and passion. Stay at home dad currently. Previously a preschool teacher.

I have now completed some tea swaps and I am so totally up for swapping! What a cool way to connect with fellow tea lovers and try some new teas. My tea cupboard on here is woefully out of date though.

Black tea has been my go to tea for some time. Oolongs are good too but mainly roasty oolongs. I’m finding that there are some green and white teas (mostly Moonlight Whites) that impress me lately which they never used to do. I am getting into and developing a taste for Pu-erh. I have tried raw and my Ulcerative Colitis just can’t handle the roughness of it. So I stick to ripe Puerh. I am recently drinking more herbal tea or Rooibos especially STRONG ginger blends. I’m not too picky.

Some of my favorite places from which to purchase tea are Whispering Pines Tea Co, Verdant, A Quarter to Tea, Beautiful Taiwan Tea Co, Bitterleaf Tea, and Yunnan Sourcing.

Rating system:
90-100: Some of the best I’ve ever had. I’d be a fool not to keep it stocked as often as possible
80-89: A damn good tea. Not to be missed
70-79: A good tea but lacks the wow factor. More than likely a simple tea that could be an every day option
60-69: Eh. This is okay. Not swill by any means but fairly underwhelming.
50-59: Not really doing it for me. I’ll finish it but please don’t bring me any more.
Below 50: Life is too short to waste on things such as this
