Mali isn't quite as good for iced tea as Java- a touch more tannic, no clover flavor- but it does fine on a hot day. Toci

You mean there's somewhere in Mali humid enough to grow tea?!

Iced and hot tea doesnt taste the same. The tannins seem to be more prominent in iced tea. Youll see them settle to the bottom in a pitcher after cooling. Normally you also dilute iced tea to compensate. I picked up some Ning Zhen Hills Bi Lo Chun in the discount bin at my local tea shoppe. Every BLC I buy seems to be a different grade. These look like black and white snails. Others look like black and white snail trails. This is a tasty first cup with subsequent infusions lifeless. The tea shoppe owner is selling something from Fujian called Silver Sprouts. It is almost an intoxicating first cup as anything Ive ever tasted. For a retail price of $10 for three ounces it is an absolute bargain. I cant imagine anyone not liking this tea. I also picked up a discounted Violet flower infused green tea. I think all these tisanes flavored teas better iced than hot.
