Whoops, cold brewed another jug of this blend for an extra day or two, which was a mistake. Green tea error! Mellowing it out with some extra water should do the trick. I mustn’t forget to try this hot.

Some of my friends lost their cool over this limited edition blend so I snapped a box up for myself, and I’ve only just gotten around to unboxing (high five for a great selection of flavoured blacks open in time for cooler months!).

First mug with a splash of milk and I’m… underwhelmed. Or just… whelmed, I guess. I’m cold brewing some overnight and I’ll see if maybe plain (as recommended but I had milk to use up, ok) does it any more justice.

Time to unbox an old favourite, just in time for a bout of cold weather. I was worried years of trying many and varied exciting teas would lessen my love for the old Ginger Spice, but boy howdy it seems like nothing’s gonna change my love for yooooou.

Ok yeah nah I’m getting brutal now I’m getting close to totally cleaning out my cupboard. Twinkle Berry, you just don’t cut it. Too tart. Chill with the hibiscus, mate. You’re gone.

Time to get through the last stocks of this blend, as much as I love it! I don’t think it ever got added to the permanent collection, which is sad. I polished off a full cold brew 2L jug in one day today so in goes another one overnight, and I polished off a regular old hot mug for dessert tonight too. Somebody stop me.

Used the last of this last night to brew up some peppermint iced tea with my Turkish cherry tisane. It’s a hot one today. Dang. (I can’t believe my cupboard’s down to only two pages now. I’m a machine.)

This blend was released with Shimmer Punch as a limited edition for Christmas 2013. Shimmer Punch was the hands-down winner there but Twinkle Berry is still a beautiful iced/ cold brew option. I’m not 100% sure why I added it to my cupboard back then though, as it clearly hasn’t had a lot of pull with me… I panicked about the expiration just recently and cracked it open ASAP. Summer’s over as of today! Let’s hope the warm weather stays around a little longer (this may be the first time in my life I’ve ever wished this) as I’ve gotta get through this right away. Jugs ahoy!

Only one cup to go after this one I’m enjoying right now. Another one down! Go me! Go tea! I’m so crampy and mad for chocolate right now and it goes really well with this tea, too. Bless.
