Adagio Custom Blends, Nichole Miller

Cold brewed this and let’s just say it was not a delight

My jug of cold tea for the next few days. Out of a fear that the black wouldn’t resteep well (to make iced tea, I make one pot of tea, pour it into my jug, and then resteep the leaves to get my full two liters), I probably used way too much and it is super strong. I used about twice the amount of leaf I usually use for 2 L of tea, and I brewed it in a smaller teapot (to avoid having an extra liter leftover…and the other one was dirty). So it is super strong, but very, very tasty. I’m enjoying this iced a lot, though I need to be careful about drinking it after five. I like sleeping. Maybe I need to keep one jug of caf tea and one jug of decaf in the fridge.

This tea really is a delight iced, and it’s creamy without any milk added. A bit bitter, but that’s my fault. It’s creamy and sweet and everything I want in a black tea.

Maybe when I go home to Tennessee in August, I should steal a milk jug or two from mom so I’m not lying when I call my pitchers of iced tea “jugs”.

Mmmm Andrew Lee Potts…tea? Oh! Right! Tea!

So far, I am loving this tea. A bit strong at first, but then it mellows and becomes this dreamy blend of cream and caramel and something a touch sweet and mmmm. I just want to dive into this tea for a few days.

Edited to add: Gah! I’m so rude! Thank you so, so, so much for getting this for me. QueenofTarts. I was distracted by my Hatter >.>

YAY! This tea is fabulous! With each sip either the vanilla, caramel or Valentine’s is more prominent, and yet each flavor can be IDed in each sip. Nicely blended, nicely done. :) I accidentally let these steep longer than I would have and the flavor remained intact. Mad Hatter’s Delight is strong and bold, yet sweet.

And as a bonus you get a picture of the gorgeous Andrew-Lee Potts!

What else do you need in a tea?! :)

P.S. I was distracted by Andrew-Lee’s gorgeousness and forgot to mention this is one of JoeCool (Nichole)’s creations at Adagio! Sorry girly!
