Sipdown. I’m trying to get caught up on tasting notes tonight – I’ve literally got a little stack of empty pouches that I wanted to note before tossing.
This one came from a past Tea Thoughts countdown box., though I’m not sure which one at this point. It’s been very hot lately, so I used the whole pouch for a cold brew. In retrospect, probably not the optimal brewing method for this particular tea. Straight from the fridge, it tastes rather thin. After warming up at room temperature for a bit, the flavor opens up and it’s a malty, jammy situation. But that feels weird to me as an iced tea, and now I’ve used up all of it on the cold brew and can’t test-drive it hot. Lesson learned – don’t use up all the leaf for a steeping method that might backfire!
… it did help with the heat, though
