Cold brew for the afternoon…and finally, sipdown! It took me a decently long time to get through the 4 oz tin. It was always an enjoyable, fruity and crisp black tea blend to have around, but there are many more to explore, so I’m not in a hurry to restock.

How many teas do I really love enough to want to stock 4 oz (or more) at a time? That is the question…

Fjellrev

It takes me so, so long to get through their 4 oz. tins in particular. Not sure why. And then it gets old and sits there for even longer…

And 4 oz is still among the smaller of their bulk options, I can’t imagine how long it would take for some of the others!

Fjellrev

Seriously! It’s a shame they don’t have a 2 oz. option. But that said, congrats on actually getting through this one! I’ve had my 4 oz. of SoHo for over two years now and I feel like I’ll never finish it. Barely got through my tin of Florence.

Bio

Science writer and a cat that learned to type.

I grew up in a tea-loving family, and tea has always been a part of daily life. I’m still astounded by the amount of tea and teaware back home every time I visit! While I’m most familiar with straight Chinese teas, I’m growing to explore and appreciate other types of tea, including blended and flavored ones. A good blend can reflect the thought and creativity that was put into making it, instead of being too sweet or busy in a way that gives the “genre” a bad rap.
