Rabs

Cold brewed iced tea out of a Keemun and Lapsang Souchong blend — why not? The more I drink it the more I like it. It was rather bizarre at first with that sort of bacony LS taste coming out at the forefront. Now it has more of the sweet aspect of LSes with a deep base of Keemun and the swallow finishes with a really nice sweet note. I can’t say how often I’ll ice this, but I’m rather surprised at how much I’m enjoying it! I could see myself getting odd random cravings for this one. NE

I just read your note and it’s so similar to mine! This tea is wonderful but a bit of a misnomer.

Bio

Proud all-around nerd, crafter, and brand-new Assistant Library Director. Give me an engrossing book and a wonderful cup of tea and I’m in heaven.

After being a barista for almost a decade it wasn’t until 2010 that I discovered loose leaf tea. Now I’m hooked.

How I use Steepster has been evolving since I joined. Yes, I use it for my personal “to buy or not to buy” info, but I’m enough of a goofball that I hope it can amuse others more often than not.

I’ve also started to become anal about my tea (times and temps). That’s surprised me. I finally realized that I should respect the leaves like I used to respect the beans. I also take my tea plain unless otherwise noted.

There’s really nothing remarkable or noteworthy of how I rate teas. I do take it a tiny further step to help clarify the muddled middle grounds for myself. TG is a definite repurchase. Anything below that is less and less likely.
