First off, thanks for the sample Azzrian!! I so badly wanted to try this out and feel uber grateful to have the chance!
Now on to the tea… Hmmm, I’m not sure about this one. I think it’s one of those cases where there was so much hype about everyone loving it that my expectations are higher than normal. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great tea and I totally get the cotton candy association… but the “candy” part is a bit weak for my tastes. Maybe I should have used more leaf? (I thought I was being generous with my tea/water ratio!) or perhaps this would go better iced. Second steep, I added a dab of agave and it was a bit better. Oh well, it’s still very good!!! holding the rating til I try this iced. at this point though, I’d give it an 84.

If I sent you enough do try it iced! Hot brew then stick in fridge! I brew it really strong, add extra water, chill. YUMMM
This is really good iced. I found that the cotton candy flavor really seemed to come in to its own in the aftertaste, it tasted very much like yummy cotton candy.
The cotton candy taste is definitely more prominent the colder the tea is, I made a big glass iced and found the flavor fading towards the end until I threw some more ice in.
I felt the same, Indigobloom. I am really wishing I bought a teabag so I could try it iced… I’m feeling like I’m going to cave to (another) 52teas order really soon… even though Amanda will be receiving stuff to send to me.
I’m not an iced tea girl but it sounds like I must do it that way! just to see. The curiosity is niggling at me :P
Kittena- I hear ya on that one! if they had any more double choc decadence left I’d splurge myself!!
