I was given a small packet of this tea from Todd when he came to visit at the end of the June… even he doesn’t remember when or where he got it, but he had written “Sara” on it so said it must’ve been for me, heh.
I coldbrewed this TGY because… well, let’s face it, I’m only drinking cold tea while it is consistently over 90F every single day. I’m getting a lilac/orchid florality, a vegetal note of garden peas and wet grass, and a strong minerality toward the end of the sip. A hint of astringency. Not particularly complex, but nicely refreshing.
(Hey, could a mod kindly add “Lilac” to the available flavor notes? Thanks!)

I added it. :)
Thanks, that one in particular has been bothering me for a long while.
Yay, glad it was refreshing!
