I always prefer my drinks cold so I chilled this in the fridge for 24 hours then tried a taste - it was definitely not my bottle of tea. The flavor is very rich, which usually means it has a slightly burnt flavor to it, or similar to what you would have if you left in the tea bag for longer than recommended. Although at first the flavor was very off-putting, I did find that it wasn't as bad the more I tried. Personally, I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone as I didn't find anything great about it.
