I had pulled this out of my cupboard as a sipdown, but I knew the chunk would get used a great deal before it actually gets discarded. We had started by making a 35 ounce pot of hot tea. Then I made a gallon of iced tea from tea that is so delicious I can hardly stand it. Iced puerh just doesn’t need sugar to me, ever, at all. It is so clean and beautiful all on its own. Late last night, another 35 ounce pot was made hot. (It was a pretty big chunk as you have guessed by now!) I will steep it at least one more time for another pot of hot tea. Youngest daughter is fairly guzzling it down.

ooooh yes! a lady at the tea guild makes an iced puerh/lemonade and it does goes surprisingly well. Contrast in flavours I guess? I hadn’t considered iced puerh on its own. Too bad summer is over haha

Sil

I love iced puerh! And we have a lot more hot days ahead of us here in eastern North Carolina to enjoy it!

Indigobloom

On the calendar yeah but the weather is turning. Getting chilly up here :(

I am a little jealous, Indigobloom! We are super excited that it is supposed to get down to 67F tonight. It is 88 right now. We will often have days in the 70’s in mid-winter, and I have decorated the porch for Christmas barefoot more than once!

Indigobloom

Ha! We should trade places. I’ll take warmer weather any day over the cold

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about twelve years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

I am also reviewing for Sororitea Sisters now!

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
