Made iced tea with this one after a brisk walk on the bluffs by the seaside. It’s been a very hot weekend in Southern California, so cold tea was just what I needed! I can’t believe I’ve never iced or cold brewed this blend before, it seems perfect for the treatment (and now I only had a little bit left)…anyway, this tea brews up to a very crisp, refreshing cup, fairly balanced between the muscat and jasmine flavors, and with just a touch of green-tea astringency. It’s not as sugary or vegetal as when brewed hot, and comes out to a lovely light green color. I sometimes distrust that color as it reminds me of restaurant “tropical iced green tea” that appeals more to the sense of sight than taste, but in this case it does taste as nice as it looks.
Currently I have way too much (unidentified and unlogged) tea from my trip and from family to buy more…but seeing everyone’s reviews here makes the thought awfully tempting!
