I bought 3 boxes of Cold Brew tea blends in local store in Germany, as warm (read hot) days are coming and iced tea will be a good idea how to survive them. After all, we have ups around 25°C which is very uncommon for the April (eh, May already). And we are at the foothills of Erzgebirge.

I digressed from the tea. I prepared it hot, one bag for my 500 ml mug and it seems it is a wrong preparation method for this tea. It was smelling great, but tasting flat. There is cloying stevia sweetness, stronger than peach; some peach notes… and black tea base. There is absolutely no complexity in the cup and more apptly description would be a sweet peach juice diluted with lots of water. So flat and fake tasting.
I will try cold water next time as intended, maybe even putting it in the fridge. That will be, hopefully, a bit better.

Plus points for outer wrappings.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
