Thanks to Michelle for these two teas.
A while ago, I was craving an iced tea at the mall, so I went to Teavana. Since I usually like to blend my iced teas, they recommended I blend the Cha Yen Thai with the Amandine Rose. I was skeptical – because blacks are hit or miss for me – but this one turned out really good. They put just a tad bit of sweetener in it, and it really brought the flavor out.
It had been a while, but I decided to cold brew a mix of both at home. It came out just as lovely, although I do think it’s one of the few teas where adding sweetner helps a little. It’s very creamy on its own, though. And quite flavorful. I’m not sure which tea I like better, since I’ve only had the two of them mixed together. Next time, I plan to cold brew both separately and see how it comes out. My guess is I’ll like the Cha Yen better, but we’ll see…
