I used the rest of my sample for an overnight cold-steep. I like it better this way than hot. It brings out the black base more and the two fruit flavors are more in balance with each other.
Of course the morning I have cold-steeped ice tea for my ride into work it’s chilly outside and freezing on the express bus and I don’t even want to drink it. It was 86 degrees yesterday. What happened? I’m enjoying about half of this now and I think I’ll save the other half for this afternoon. :-)
I run, I sing, I drink tea. That’s the best description I have of me.
I’ve always enjoyed tea, but have just started trying out a lot more loose teas and varied brands. I’m really excited about a site like steepster so I can read about what people think about different teas.
Oh and I really hate Lipton tea. There’s something just awful about it and I can’t understand why nearly every local diner only has Lipton.
Also I’m on the search for a full-bodied, fruity blackberry tea. So if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way! :-)
