Une potion magique pour survivre une canicule enfumée sans clim et sans pouvoir ouvrir les fenêtres: Presser six citrons. Préparer du matcha. Ajouter beaucoup de sirop d’érable. Mélanger et verser dans un gros contenant de glaçons.

(Grand merci au café Les impertinentes pour l’idée!)

I blended about 2 cups of small, very sweet wild Québec strawberries with the juice of a lime, and added a bunch of ice. I then poured the iced gyokuro into it, and topped with a sprig of basil from the balcony garden.

Gyokuro packs a lot of caffeine per gramme, so I've been sipping this slowly and adding a lot of ice cubes, but this concoction is absolutely delicious. I'm absolutely going to do this again.

Found the recipe here: camellia-sinensis.com/fr/blogu

A rare treat today to sustain my brain through this horrifying heat! I made an iced tea smoothie treat for myself.

Last night, I took 10 grammes of gyokuro and cold brewed it into a litre of water, which I then stuck into the fridge overnight.

The resulting gyokuro was light and delicious, it took all my self control to not drink it immediately this morning, but I had other plans...

When the temperature hits 35 Celsius, I still drink tea. I just switch out the kettle for ice cubes. Gyokuro, kukicha, and hojicha are particularly delicious brewed on ice. The cold water pulls out all the sweetness and there is almost no bitterness.

Pictured is some gyokuro on ice brewing in a shiboridashi. I like to put a ton of gyokuro (like... an obscene amount) and let the icecubes melt, and I'll add a tiny little bit of cold water periodically to tease out all the cold sweetness.

This mysterious black tea pot from Jiri Duchek (via Pu-Erh.SK) seems a good match for aged Ripened Puerh, (in this case 2014 Red Shroom from White2Tea).

Raw Puerh perception spot check with 2009 "Douji's Jingmai" from Pu-Erh.SK. I think this was a part of a sample set which featured "Douji's Pure Series" raw puerh cakes. Smoky, sweet, bitter; powerful energy.

2011 Cao Gen Raw Puerh from MyTeaPal Club. I usually associate Bulang with burly smoky teas, but this is not. The tea itself is fairly sweet and not super assertive. Stored in Guangdong since 2011, the assertive part of this raw puerh is the storage flavor. A good contrast to the clean storage of yesterday's Mangfei Dashu.

It really is impossible to dislike (or misbrew) this "Dalun Shan Red High Mountain Oolong" from Mud and Leaves. The only real question is, is it a black tea or an oolong?

White2tea not kidding when they said Canton Canon tieguanyin was, "roasted to within an inch of its life," early steeps could be mistaken for coffee.

Comfort tea for a wet and windy morning. Yi Mei Ren Wu Liang Mountain Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing. Unusual for a Yunnan tea, this is closer to Taiwan or Fujian red than typical hearty Yunnan Red tea.

Been hitting the W2T a little hard, so switched things up today. 2019 Bitter End Laomane raw puerh from Bitterleafteas. Surprisingly complex and enjoyable for such a young tea.

Compressed Dancong Oolong isn't really a thing, unless you're crazy enough to make it so. 2018 Carbolic Soap (Huxley quote) from White2Tea.
