I hated this as a hot tea, but thought I’d try it iced. I cold steeped this for four days – one teaspoon in my 40 oz teapot, with 2 teaspoons of rock sugar.

While it’s not my favorite, it’s refreshing on a hot day. The cold brings the flavors to the forefront and enhances them. I still can’t really taste the tea. I wouldn’t call this a tea that I firmly “like” but it’s okay if I don’t concentrate on the taste too much.

ETA: Never mind. After half a mug I can’t stand the taste any more.

Bio

I’m a tea-aholic. I’ve always loved tea. It is soothing and warm and comforting. I always had it when we went out to eat as a child so my first association is with rich and delicious food.

As an adult, I’m learning to enjoy tea on its own merits, and bask in its subtleties and varieties. The ritual of making a cup of tea is instantly relaxing.

I prefer oolong and white teas, followed by greens. For the most part, I don’t like straight black tea, but appreciate it as part of a blend or flavored. I’ve learned to love the world of flavored teas out there.

I’m slowly learning to appreciate rooibos blends, which I started drinking for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Love: Oolong, almond, coconut, peach
Hate: Ginger
