I really need to try this tea on its own, but not today! The first time I mixed it hot with Tea Guys’ Maple Sugar and it was amazing, so I decided to experiment a little bit more. Ads for Teavana’s Pineapple Blueberry Pop mix keep popping up, and it seems like a good flavor combination but their teas are so expensive. So, I made my own—2 parts Persimmon Tree’s Tropical Pineapple, 1 part Wild Blueberry (since the flavor is a lot stronger). I cold brewed it overnight, and it’s just what I wanted—juicy and sweet from the blueberry, tropical with a slight hint of tang from the pineapple. They both have a green base so the flavors don’t clash but work together in harmony. Very nice!
Ok, I must have missed something, somewhere. What does NE mean?
I have my own little system that helps me know whether or not to get a tea (beyond the ratings) and I’m too lazy to write them out each time and I’m also concerned that my highest praise of TG (or Teagasm) might offend someone. So I listed the four little abbreviations at the bottom of my biography. For example: I could rate a tea in the 90s since it’s a great tea, but if it’s not Teagasmic for me then I most likely won’t buy it again. Does that make sense?
And this is the first time that a tea has earned a TG in one preparation (hot) and a NE for another (iced). That should help me know at a glance that it was okay iced, but that I should go with the hot version when making it.
Oh – DUH, I see it there on the side.. I’m sorry.
Nothing to be sorry about! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done the “wait a second: you live in insert name of state here?” even though it’s always been there under the Steepsterite’s bio. ;)
