Having yesterday’s steeps 4 & 5 iced. Steep 3 was a horrible experience because of mouthwash (and my own stupidity) but the leaves still smelled good so I brewed more up and stuck it in the fridge.
The taste is very strong actually – stronger than I was expecting for a green oolong iced (which usually seem to need to be warmed up to have a lot of taste) and for being later steeps. Very green tasting, floral – a higher, sweeter floral that I was getting from it last night. The overall feel of the tea is a bit thin but that thinness doesn’t carry over into the taste. All in all, a surprisingly good tea iced.
I love a good tea surprise.
Now I’m picturing tea jumping out of a cake. “Surprise!”
