English Breakfast from Harney & Sons

Feeling adventurous yesterday, I decided to try this one as a cold brew iced tea. It is….the same tea only cold! What surprised me most is how the smokey flavor is just as strong. I always take my hot breakfast teas with milk and sugar, and after tasting it plain, I decided to try this one iced with milk and sugar. (My father started adding milk to his iced tea – he called it “tilk” – when I was a teenager because he got ulcers. HEY WAIT! It wasn’t my fault! The timing just hit me…)
Anyway, it isn’t terrible, but I definitely prefer this one hot. It is smooth, just strong enough, and comforting while bracing you for the day when it is prepared as a hot tea.

So far our favorite for cold brew iced is Vanilla Black by Harney, followed by Tower of London.

I prefer Chinese teas, but love Indian teas cold brewed! I think it’s because they get tamed w the cold brew method. If you have any Irish Breakfast or Assam or anything like that, give it a try :) To be honest I don’t think I’ve tried a Chinese black cold brewed yet…so take that with a grain of salt! :) :) :) When your present is ready (shhhhhh! secret!!!) I will send you some of my earl grey melange which I love cold brewed – it’s a mix of indian teas and some earl grey which is really refreshing cold brewed.
