drank English Breakfast by Harney & Sons
3235 tasting notes

Feeling adventurous yesterday, I decided to try this one as a cold brew iced tea. It is….the same tea only cold! What surprised me most is how the smokey flavor is just as strong. I always take my hot breakfast teas with milk and sugar, and after tasting it plain, I decided to try this one iced with milk and sugar. (My father started adding milk to his iced tea – he called it “tilk” – when I was a teenager because he got ulcers. HEY WAIT! It wasn’t my fault! The timing just hit me…)
Anyway, it isn’t terrible, but I definitely prefer this one hot. It is smooth, just strong enough, and comforting while bracing you for the day when it is prepared as a hot tea.

So far our favorite for cold brew iced is Vanilla Black by Harney, followed by Tower of London.

I prefer Chinese teas, but love Indian teas cold brewed! I think it’s because they get tamed w the cold brew method. If you have any Irish Breakfast or Assam or anything like that, give it a try :) To be honest I don’t think I’ve tried a Chinese black cold brewed yet…so take that with a grain of salt! :) :) :) When your present is ready (shhhhhh! secret!!!) I will send you some of my earl grey melange which I love cold brewed – it’s a mix of indian teas and some earl grey which is really refreshing cold brewed.

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
