August 2nd Sipdown Prompt – International Beer Day: drink a malty or hoppy tea
I once had a tea with actual hops in it. Finished that off a long time ago. As for malty, that is nit the profile I usually buy so I have no Assam on hand that I can think of. This will do! My best guess is that these African teas are probably Camellia Assamica varietal bushes.
I really dig this tea, and I love how fast it steeps because I do two steeps and combine at breakfast almost every time. They recommend 185F for 1-2 minutes and I go with 1 1/2 minutes.
It is silky in feel and smooth enough to not need additions for me, but strong enough for breakfast. Great with food. I made enough to ice and have it again (unsweetened) with lunch.
ETA: I think this was the best unsweetened plain black iced tea I have ever had.
