Indian Summer and Cold Soaking


We have had over 100 degrees the past 2 days here in Laytonville, Mendocino County, California.
It's the usual hot Indian Summer days after experiencing a rather mild summer this year.

Brewing, Steeping, or Infusing, these are all actions of soaking in a liquid. So I named it "Cold Soaking" for this tea bag steeping.
The cold brewed Gyokuro was great, so I tried tea bags instead of the loose tea leaves.
I left it in a refrigerator just over night, not 24 hours. It turned out to be another great tasting cold Sencha in a handy plastic bottle for a hot Indian Summer day.
