Today’s Cold Brew!
Big thanks to VariaTEA who recently sent me a huge tea parcel with over thirty different teas! That’s plenty to keep me all kinds of entertained for the foreseeable future as well as cull any urges for flavoured tea orders. Also, it puts me over 200 teas which is NOT where I want to be; so all the more reason not to order.
It was a little hard to decide where to start so I just randomly chose a tea for today.
It’s not nearly as tart as I expected it to be given the massive pieces of hibiscus I saw in the dry leaf and intense red/purple liquor that looks like it’s dark and rich enough to stain any piece of clothing I own; even the black clothing. The cherry comes through strongly and clearly and I’m pleased to report it doesn’t taste medicinal at all. Mostly this is just cherry with semi tartness. Given the name I’d expect a bit of flavour diversity: black forest definitely makes me think of the cake which has chocolate in it. This doesn’t.
But for what’s here it IS enjoyable.
So I didn’t realize I sent you that much tbh. I just got excited and decided to share all the things. I also didn’t actually measure out the teas I sent you so if there’s a lot of a tea and you don’t like it, obviously feel free to share.
It’s all good! It just feeds the “try all the teas” phase I seem to have reentered ;)
You and me both :P
So I realized I forgot to send you more Cranberry Pear in addition to the matchas. That’ll be the next box.
