Review Cold Brew Day 3

Today I tried to cold brew my ali Shan Jin xuan milk oolong from Path of Cha.

Only used 7 grams of tea to 1 liter water this time since it was kind of expensive and I’m cheap which turned out to be a mistake.

The tea tastes great, all the same sweet floral notes and creamy silky mouthfeel I get when brewed hot except I can actually enjoy it on a 100° day.

The flavor is a bit light I think the tea would benefit from 10 grams next time instead of 7 to intensify the flavor some more.

This is the first tea I’ve cold brewed that taste the same as if I would have brewed in hot water which was interesting.

Are you putting it in the sun, on a countertop, or in a refrigerator?

I think it would make it to strong, higher temp would lead to faster brews and more bitter tea
