Sun tea wins! I am not chemist or foodie enough to explain why the ultra-low steeping temp made a difference, but the jar of tea I left to its own devices on the front porch is almost devoid of the tart hibiscus taste. This is more like an unsweet fruit punch and is darn tasty chilled. Side by side with the conventional steep, it’s almost like tasting two different teas.
This is You :-D

Bio
Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
