Yep, we’re there. It’s so hot and humid I don’t care about any tea characteristic other than COLD. This is an acceptable cold Mason jar steep when you don’t care about being finicky and are putting away cold drinks by the gallon. Red Rose in general is a little less acidic than U.S. counterparts; the decaf version is milder still.
This is You :-D

Bio
Steepster “geezer;” tea barbarian who has no systematic method for storage, preparation, classification, or rating; lover of strong unleaded builders’ tea. Never quite grew up—I cut and glue, play with Legos, design kids’ curriculum, and play with fifth graders every Sunday.
Location
Southwest Missouri
Heat index 105F here. I think that is about 39C? Maybe 40C? Fortunately, my a/c is chugging along and I can enjoy a cuppa early in the morning and late at night. Just not by day!
