Made this one as a cold brew. Brewed for about 12 hours. It turned out quite refreshing. The orange and bergamot are stronger in the cold brew than when hot. The black base is also distinctive but is not overpowering. I did not add any sweetener but I think it would have held up to some sugar being added. Even though it is a cold brew, it actually reminds me of an iced tea.
This is You :-D

Bio
I am a lifetime tea lover.
I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.
My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.
I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.
I love iced teas and cold brews.
My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.
I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
