We’re coming up to the long Midsummer weekend here in Sweden, and like many other families we’ll be de-camping to the countryside for some fun and games with the extended clan.

When the warm weather returned with a bang, I felt it was the perfect time to re-start Project Coldbrew, for what could be better than a glass of iced tea in your hand to accompany those mid-summery moments?

The green gunpowder I bought at Whittard’s in York finally ran out, so I was looking to replace it.

Summer arrived with a bit of a bang. It sneaked in through the back door, and caught us unawares, leaving many scrambling for sunglasses, shorts, and sandals.

Mrs. Teaist bought this tea for me during a recent trip to Stockholm.
She found it at Grace Tea House’s “everything must go” closing down sale.

The weather was superb the other day – bright and warm without being overly hot, and even the usual stiff sea breeze had died down to manageable levels.

My womenfolk had gone up to Stockholm on family business last weekend, and while they were there I asked a favour of them, to pop into Grace Tea House and buy me a glass gaiwan.

Home again.
I know it’s silly, but I always get nervous when crossing international borders with tea in my possession.
