The cream flavour in this tea is really dragged out with a dash of sugar, which also helps to get rid of the slight astringency of a 4min steep.

And then it’s even better with a dash of cream thrown on top (and yet surprisingly still nice and creamy without the cream, but we all know cream is a hero).

Fun and fruity. I’m running out of this and while I’m not traumatised (ie it’s a 90, not a 95), I’ll still be sad to finish it up. Gotta try a cold brew before it’s done, as I’m interested to see how the bamboo comes out.

Nup, not really won over by this with cream even. Cold brew for the rest of my order it shall be!

Maybe I’m that biased by store-brand teabags that I didn’t enjoy this one as much as my normal loose leaf tisanes… wow, what a tea snob.

Seriously though, this reminded me of the teabag tisanes you drink at the hair salon. I steeped the teabag for too long, as always, and I’m not noticing much range of flavour in here.

Cold brewed for days and days, and it’s come out really naturally sweet. Lovely assam dancing with vanilla and a touch of caramel. Might use the rest of this up in cold brews.

Continuing on my cold brewing spree, I threw some of this in the fridge for a day or two. As soon as I’d added cold water, I thought that perhaps I should have done a quick hot flush to get the chocolate going, and didn’t expect I’d get as much out of a straight cold brew as a hot flush could have given. Does that even make sense? I’m saying I wasn’t expecting any chocolate flavour at all.

I WAS WRONG

This is actually pretty darn cool as a cold brew. I’m finally getting that marshmallow flavour, and surprisingly a lot of the chocolate has come through. It’s really nicely balanced cold, and I think I prefer it to hot! I’m definitely gonna try with a quick hot flush next time just to compare, and I also wanna try this with a drop of cream too (I don’t thiiiiink I’ve done that yet). And then I reckon I’ll be all out. Probably won’t restock but the experimenting is fun.
