Cold Brew!
So, I’m almost caught up on tasting notes for the week now and I’m realizing that there maaaayyyy have been a subconscious trend this week with me reaching for a higher than normal amount of hibiscus/berry blends. In my defense (though not sure who I’m defending myself to – I guess just the ether) this was part of my November Tea Runner’s subscription and I generally try to taste through all the teas I get in the subscription as quickly as possible…
Sadly I think this blend falls culprit to having too much hibiscus. Don’t get me wrong – it tasted good and was refreshing but the dominant note was strong saturated hibiscus with the blueberry and even the rooibos coming off as more of a secondary thought. Hibiscus can be a really drowning flavour and I just feel that was the case here.
