Cold Brew Peach Passionfruit

Another tea from the big box that Martin sent – many thanks!

This is one that Ashman and I each had tonight. Neither of us have wanted to take the time to make a big pitcher of decaf tea and the fridge has been pretty full of birthday cake (just finished) from my daughter and coconut cream pie (also finished today) from my best friend, so there wasn’t much room left anyway. These teas have come in really handy!

I didn’t realize that was passion fruit in the picture on the wrapper. It looked like a peach and a bowl of oatmeal which didn’t seem a likely tea blend, but I have seen stranger things. Other than oeach, I didn’t know what flavor to look for in the tea.

That’s okay, because the flavor I got was peach plus generic berry. I still liked it! It was definitely sweet enough for me from the stevia but I added simple syrup to Ashman’s glass because he likes his cold tea sweet. He may not have needed it.

I liked the raspberry lime better but this was serviceable enough and helped me delay making a big pitcher by one more day! I have no excuse now to put it off anymore since the fridge has more room now!

So, these cold brew bags I have prepared as intended. That’s steeping in cold tap water for 5-8 minutes. Instead of drinking it right away I decided to put the glass into fridge and drink it after coming home from afternoon (late) shift (2pm-10pm).

I was looking forward to it all shift long, knowing that refreshing glass is waiting for me and sadly I was betrayed. It was refreshing, but only fruit I have noticed was peach, very flat tasting and definitely no passion fruit; instead I got some generic, rose-hibi fruity flavour. And I have used two bags. as one should be for 200 ml only and I have used 400 ml.

Sad. But well, what I have been expecting from tea that costs a little more than euro and is bagged?

Today, I will prepare the last of 3 flavours available — raspberry & lime (while pictured and in ingredients is lemon (come on!). I hope it will be better.
