I cold steeped this over night in the fridge. I like it better hot. It’s ok cold steeped, but I think the peach gets lost in the green base. I like Cornelia’s peach flavor, and it’s really nice in this when hot steeped, but it’s more muted cold steeped.
Next time, hot steep and then cool for iced tea……

I havent had much success with cold brewed greens, flavored of otherwise. Do they ever taste chalky to you, or is that just me?
I can’t say that I’ve ever noticed chalky. Cold steeping green is tricky, it’s a bit like hot steeping, you need to be careful about steeping too long. And actually I find that the better quality of the tea, the more likely it is to get bitter. I have a tin of cheap, Chinese grocery green that cold steeps amazing. My better quality greens are awesome if you find the sweet spot – if not, then it can be a waste of good tea. IMHO. :))
I’m not good at making greens right
In general I’m not really that into green tea. I like fruity green in the summer, and some of the nutty desserty greens, but I don’t really like straight green tea.
Me either. Love my straight blacks though.
Yep – just give me some nice Chinese Black, pu’erh, or dark oolong – and Dex is a happy camper…..
Me too ^5
I have to tell ya you are missing great things from the green side….just sayin.
Careful MzPriss – Fairy will try and drag you away from the dark side….
Well, I like oolongs too. And Sleeping Bear is green – but mostly I think I just do them wrong. They are either bitter, or grassy or bland when I make them
(Hehehe)
