drank Berry Melange by Custom
2891 tasting notes

A couple summers ago, when kind Steepies helped me replenish my tornado-crashed pantry, JacquelineM tucked in a tin filled with odds and ends of berry-flavored teas that, shaken together, made a quirky mystery grab bag of fruit flavor. Just enough left for one last jar of sun tea. Chilled, it’s a lovely treat to spend the day with. (Writing and doing grungy housework via the carrot-and-stick method: Write, sip. Vacuum, sip. Fold, sip. Dishes, sip.)

Also builds a strong case for me, when the tin is finally empty, to start a “scrap” tin of my own. Waste not, want not.

I have a scrap tin of miscellaneous blacks that I started awhile back. Things that are okay, but not awesome, that don’t have to be had by themselves to get any special notes out of. I have been using it to make iced tea with when I don’t want a fruit or vanilla iced tea.

Iced tea is so forgiving, you about can’t ruin it. (Unless you threw in something smoky—can’t imagine that would be pleasant at all.)
