I find this Sweet Addiction Fruit Tea from FullyLoadedTea in my cup this morning!
This tea is quite a contrast to the one I had Wednesday Morning.
The aroma is light with hints of a sour sweetness. Te weight on the palate is heavier than expected though, with some twinge in the tail. The flavor is slightly fruity but with a great deal of complexity.
This Assam brews a strong, vibrant and malty beverage. The aroma is light, slightly airy and clearly astringent. The flavor is leafy, malty and similar to the breakfast teas based off the tea grown in the Assam region of India. The liquor is super dark rustic red.
I mentioned a few weeks back that I had come across a unique product: an Electric Iced Tea Maker. The IT400 from Focus Electrics is a pretty neat piece of equipment. While several consumer level iced tea machines seem to exist, this one shows the most promise of any I’ve run across thus far.
Last week, I covered my first day at the 2009 World Tea Expo held in Las Vegas. This week you get to hear about the rest of my trip. I won’t name names… but I met some really fantastic people at this year’s expo…
