Cold brewed the last bits of this tea! This is great iced! Again, it isn’t my favorite. I tend to like hibiscus, strawberries, and blueberries in my iced teas. This was great while it lasted. Thank you darby !!

I saw this in my sample box today. This is also from the Tea Box Pass B! The black tea leaves look very nice. They are medium length and slightly wavy dark brown leaves. Crunchy looking! Steeped, it was a dark brown color. I love the way it smells like muscat … err grapes! It does have the nice wine flavor. This one is more like a dry wine. It isn’t overpowering or artificial tasting. It is just right. There is a moderate amount of astringency at the end of the sip, and it increases as I keep sipping. It doesn’t need any additives either. Towards the end, I decided to try this with a little bit of sugar. I felt like it took away from the flavor more than added to it. Good tea! I miss wine so much, so I am happy to have stumbled upon this tea!

I finished this up today. I cannot tell what type of black tea this is at all. I can’t put a finger on it. Good tea overall. It tastes almost like the Keurig’s English Breakfast tea… I like this with some sugar and milk.

I had this tea this morning. Not bad. It almost tastes like a sweetened black tea. Yesterday, I had steeped it for too long, and it left my mouth feeling like there was something stuck in it.
