Adventaggedon Day 23: Tea 2/8
Cold Brew!
Like Cameron B. I was a little confused why this was called Frosted Jasmine Silver Needle aside from, potentially, it just being a more fun and wintery sounding name. Unlike Cameron, I did not have that question answered until well after I finished my tea.
You see, I made this cold brewed in a small mini tumbler and I has just dumped the whole packet (minus the little quote) into a paper sachet and then plopped the sachet in the compost without looking at it right before I left for my commute in to the office later in the day. Not once while drinking the tea did I actually see the liquor so imagine my surprise earlier this evening when I was watching TeaWithJann’s vlogmas video and it was blue! I know the blue didn’t affect the taste, but I sort of feel like I missed out on a part of the experience of this tea!?
It did taste really good though! I was feeling soooo tapped out on jasmine earlier this month but I think I had enough of a pause that getting one today wasn’t as frustrating as it was earlier this month. I thought the taste was super fresh and clean with crisp sweet notes of jasmine. Really elegant and kind of ethereal and relaxing to sip on as I walked through the snow dusted streets this afternoon!
Kiani Tea Advent Calendar 2021 – Day 23
So I was wondering what was inside this packet, because I could hear something making a very un-tea-like noise when I shook it. Turns out it was some little blue crystals that made the tea steep up icy blue! I guess that explains the “frozen” part, heh.
Otherwise, it’s a lovely jasmine silver needle. I assume it’s the same one that I had with luster dust earlier in the month? Very sweet and creamy jasmine dominates the cup, with a slight peachy note as well. I do wish I tasted more of the silver needle, but it’s such a delicate tea that it really gets overpowered by jasmine. But it does make for a lovely light base for the jasmine.
Would love to see a plain silver needle in this advent, but there are only two days left so I suppose it’s unlikely. :P
Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Jasmine, Nectar, Peach, Smooth, Stonefruit, Sweet, Thick
Soooo I made my tea cold steeped in a travel mug and I missed the crystals when I was pouring the tea in to my filer… I completely missed the colour change and genuinely thought this was just a plain jasmine silver needle up until I saw Jann’s video tonight.
Ha ha well it doesn’t make much difference I guess! At least it wasn’t glitter. :P
