Summertime Cold Brew Superb!

Ikki makes the hot summertime worthwhile! Ever since learning how to cold brew tea from Ikkyu, I'm a convert. Ikki is the perfect tea for this, for taste and refreshment in the afternoon. While not listed as organic, the producer Nakayama Kosuke uses organic fertilizers which I appreciate. The color is amazing in a clear bottle!! LOVE that it's available in a 1 kg size. It's going to be my splurge to make sure every afternoon is great this year.
