“Teas I drink in a day Friday 12/22/23” #3
MUG: David’s Tea dark blue 20 oz tumbler (beat up my very first DT tumbler of this style)
STYLE: cold brew
DRANK: after lunch
NOTES: Another note indicative of my work week habits. So for years it’s always been one or two DT pitchers done as a cold brew (thank goodness we have a full size fridge at work and it was brand new purchase in like late 2019 or early 2020 I think?… so for a year or two it was barely used as the hotel obviously didn’t have many employees at the time). A while ago I started using tumbler to do an individual mug cold brew. Sometimes it would be a brand new tea that I’d put a PS or two in (or a sampler packet etc) and then brew overnight and drink the next day. Another common thing as I’ve been overall drinking more hot tea this year (of course more with the weather dependent, but I used to basically only drink cold brew and year round), I resteep the leaves from a hot cuppa as a cold brew and strain/drink the next day.
Yesterday I had two hot & plain cuppas of this tea, so tossed leftovers into my trusty tumbler and filtered out today to sip. In past month or so I’ve been drinking hojicha blends, this is one of them (ingredients: green tea, chocolate, osmanthus flower, natural apple flavor). TBH I don’t know what osmanthus flower tastes like but this just tastes like a cozy roasted cup hot and nice refreshing cold .
I see Kaylee has written about this tea previously and tried it different ways, since I have this huge bag to work on [and probably more as I have a bad habit from my handful of favorite companies, if a tea sounds good I’ll buy 3420842893483 bags of it or/and years might go by and not realize I already have said bags in my stash be like “oh that tea sounds good” and then purchase some or a bunch, clearly I have major FOMO/hording/etc. issues.] will definitely do some experimenting.
