queenofmarshmallows: Snark Nerdy to Me(Stiles)Artichoke Green, Rhubarb Green, Hibiscusby Daunt This blend has the most fascinating smell and flavor, and I’m not just saying that. I can’t get enough of it! When brewed the tea has a golden amber color and the scent is… gosh, it just smells full. And delicious. The flavor overall is very creamy and refreshing. Recommended brew:  - Let boiling water sit for at least 5 minutes - these leaves are easy to burn- Brew tea for 2-4 minutes, or to taste (Stiles can go a little woody if you let him steep too long, so be careful) *snicker* But seriously, there is a fine line between a good strong green and a disgusting cuppa with this blend. Brewed: Can still taste the roundness of flavor characteristic of this blend Personally, I don’t quite like this brew hot - it maintains a refreshing edge and my brain couldn’t quite balance the hot/refreshing dichotomy. Iced: Creamy, round flavor Obviously a green tea but definitely not grassy (unless you over-steep) Really cool and refreshing finish I added ½ tsp of regular sugar /cup and it adds a really nice sweetness (it could handle more sweetness if you’re so inclined!!) Very yummy!! ♥ Latte: Naturally creamy flavor lends itself to a fantastic latte Milk adds a sufficient sweetness, but it would still taste good with added sugar (it’s easy to make the hot latte too sweet, though, so don’t be overzealous with the sugar spoon until you’ve tasted it) Really curious how this would taste with a melon-flavored syrup *w* Iced latte: YES YES By the way, YES This can handle more sugar than the hot latte, so it’s a good fix for if you over-sweeten your hot latte Oh, and FREAKING YES ♥ Stiles is best enjoyed cold, like the Abominable Snowman that he is.
