I’ve actually been making a lot of iced tea over the last few weeks while the PNW was being hit by that heat wave. And i decided to just rotate through all of my different teas and try them all, or at least a bunch of them, iced.
What i find fascinating is how different a tea can taste hot or cold even if they started the same by brewing in hot water. The sweetness dies down quite a bit. what’s left is a lighter flavor than I would have expected with not as much depth as one would normally expect for a black tea.
While I would not say its my favorite base for an iced tea, this is still enjoyable and refreshing.
