Adventageddon Day 14 – Tea 4/4
Cold Brew!
I don’t know if I’ve tried cranberry and grapefruit together before, but it’s a pairing that makes sense to me since cranberry goes so well with both lemon and oranges. This is definitely an enjoyable cold brew, as well. Not super intense in terms of sweetness or acidity, and in general the flavour is a bit more mellow and smooth. Not as weak/flat as the Butterfly Effect blend from yesterday that was very disappointing, though.
I like the amount of body from the black tea, and the cranberry and grapefruit are pretty well balanced. I’d say I taste a smidge more grapefruit – mostly in the backend/finish.
So fun having another cranberry black tea following yesterday’s as well. Both are very good, but I might slightly prefer 52Teas since it was the more cranberry forward of the two. They’re so different from each other that despite the shared flavour and base it feels unfair to compare them. Maybe if I’d steeped them the same way. Maybe.
