I got this tea what seems like a very long time ago, and I still haven’t tried it! I try not to dip into my 52teas that often since I know I can’t get them again once they’re gone for the most part, and I just knew I would love this tea which made me even more hesitant to try it. I don’t want to love it, I want to think “oh it’s good but I can live without it.”
Well, this is a tea I can’t live without. I cold-brewed it overnight, and sweet gods of cotton candy is it perfect. At first it’s just a very nice iced tea, the black base really shines and is wonderfully layered but not too heavy. Then, BAM, cotton candy. It’s not fake or artificial, it seriously tastes like cotton candy jut melted in your mouth. And the taste lingers, filling you with giddy childhood memories of eating cotton candy at the county fair and then running around in the petting zoo on a sugar high. It is SO good, I can’t really imagine this tea hot but iced it’s…. urgh, so amazingly perfect. Thank god they’ve added iced tea bags of this, though I think I could drink a pitcher of this every day which would put me in serious tea-debt!
There’s only one thing I would add to this blend: I wish it was blue! I’m tempted to put some food dye in mine just to make it that much more like liquid cotton candy.

Oh man. I want to make a tea “soda” with this and I think I have a neon blue food coloring.
Ugh, that sounds amazing! I really hope they add this tea to their permanent collection, it’s just so tasty and versatile.
Maybe I should cold-brew the last of mine…
I’m saving this one for hot tea, and using the new Southern Boy Teas version for cold brewing and drinking iced. But yes, I definitely vote for the permanent collection too!
Now I’m kinda-sorta wishing that I had ordered a Cotton Candy teabag. Oh well!
I thought I had ordered two but I just went with one, otherwise I’d say you can have one of them!
Oh, that’s ok :) I made the decision when I sent you that list not to order one, and that’s completely fine :) I just hate that everyone talks about how good this tea is, and I didn’t taste the awesomeness!
