Snow flurries today and sunburns likely tomorrow. If there is one thing you can count on this time of year, it’s that change is certain. Iced tea season is upon us. Why not change up your usual choice of cold drink? Peach tea is a crowd pleaser and raspberry is very refreshing in summer months. Keep them on hand as staples during the season, but be bold in trying new tastes. May we recommend a few?
Spicy
Set your sweet tea aside and try spicing it up a bit. Organic Special Calcutta Chai will awaken your taste buds and liven up your morning. Add a drop of cold cream to make this a more rich and delicious treat.
Slightly Sweet
The subtleties and complexities of a Darjeeling unwind better in a hot cup of tea, but give this tea a try over ice and you might be surprised. Floral notes underline the light grain taste of a Darjeeling iced tea and new flavor nuances come through. But we don’t want to give it all away. Taste it for yourself.
Serious
For a taste both rich and earthy, try an iced Assam tea like Assam – Sessa Estate or Assam Khongea Golden Bud. This tea makes for a bold taste that complements whatever sweet treat it is paired with. It also stands alone as a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up.
Smoky
Try something especially unique by brewing up a cup of Lapsang Souchong. Reminisce over the pine-smoked, campfire-like taste of this tea. Summer, after all, is the perfect time to sit around a campfire roasting marshmallows. Stir a spoonful of honey into your iced Lapsang and you have the smokey taste of a fresh-from-the-hive first honey harvest.
Stay tuned for some new drinkware to take your iced tea selection to go! Coming very soon…
