Cold Brew!
Sipped on this today while we got a new dryer installed.
Ours kicked the bucket about a month ago, so for close to a month now I’ve been very slowly trying to use as little clothing as possible because while we had a way to wash it, we had no method of drying it. The installation today was good timing ’cause I was down to one more viable pair of pants, and only a few more more pairs of PJ pants.
This was my first time trying this one cold brewed, and I have to say it makes a world of difference flavour wise. For starters, it’s really not tart or hibiscus heavy at all. Or, at least, not in the way that it is as a hot or iced tea. Instead it’s mostly very smooth and mellow/fruity cherry and cranberry notes with some other nice, pleasant fruity undertones such as the apple and pineapple. Didn’t really get much fig, and didn’t get any of the peppercorns. The small bit of tartness that is present comes from the cranberry, and it’s pretty well balanced out with sweetness.
Just overall a very, very delicious cold brew that basically highlights all the best aspects you get of this one as a hot and as an iced tea!
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.

Feel for you with the dryer issue. The summer I lived in Ireland the townhouse we rented had one of those combined washer/dryer machines but the dryer function would literally bake the clothes and they would come out stiff as a board so we used the clothes rack our landlords had used in the dining room. There were lines outside but seeing as that summer was unusually wet even for Ireland ( it rained everyday for 62 days where we were in Malahide) they were essentially useless. Yay for the new dryer.
