冰糖

I was skeptical about adding sugar to my tea at all, but this rock sugar melts so slowly that it sweetens the whole pot without that sharp, instant hit. The big crystals are perfect for my East Frisian blend, and one lump is enough for a seriously cozy afternoon.

I make a proper East Friesian tea ceremony every afternoon now, and this rock sugar is the missing piece I didn't know I needed. One lump melts into the strong brew just enough to cut the bitterness without making it sweet tea.

It dissolves slowly and evenly in hot tea, which is exactly what I wanted for my afternoon cup. The sweetness is subtle, not cloying, and it pairs beautifully with a strong black brew without overpowering it. I’ve already ordered a second bag.
