Watermelon Kiwi Green Tea from Culinary Teas

Alphakitty drank Watermelon Kiwi Green Tea by Culinary Teas

I got this one from Novi! I am kind of obsessed with melon teas of any form, and they seem to be relatively rare so it’s always exciting to find a new one. And with kiwi?! Oh yes please.

Though really you can’t really taste much kiwi, the watermelon is BAM in your face in a very good way. Very much like a liquid jolly rancher but the base does stand up to it. But somehow it’s also quite natural tasting? Truly a mysterious tea! Mysterious and delicious.

You know how some people put salt on watermelon slices to make them sweeter? I am kind of wondering how iced watermelon tea would taste with a tiny sprinkle of salt… and maybe mint… and rum… I feel a cocktail experiment coming on!

mmm interesting. Never really gave melon teas much thought.

Melon teas are divine iced, but then again I’ve always been drawn to melon-flavored things. Butiki’s Cantaloupe & Cream and Watermelon Xylophone, Lupicia’s Melon Oolong and Golden Moon’s Persian Melon are my favorite blends in that flavor profile. Now I’m just praying we get a melon matcha from Red Leaf, my ultimate dream!

hmm i’ll have to give some a try. I do like stacy’s cantaloups and cream but haven’t tried the others you mentioned. :)

Bio

Tea has always been a passion of mine, though I got away from it during college. A lack of cupboard space and a constant influx of people into my suite made me pretty much abandon my teas at home. But now that I’m done with school, it’s definitely come back with a vengeance—to the point where I’ve purchased about 65 different kinds in the past 3 months!

I like most kinds of teas—yes, even peach, which I used to think I disliked!. Oolongs are definitely my favorite, and I’m an avid fan of earl grey, floral teas, and chai blends along with anything melon. The only kind of teas on my “no” list are rooibos blends (which gives me headaches) and banana flavored ones since bananas are public enemy #1 in my mind.

The best thing about tea for me is how you can be passionate about it and still have it integrate into all of your other hobbies. I like a lot of things: writing, video games, books, sewing, figure collecting, astronomy… it’s a long list. But whatever I’m doing, I can have a cup of tea in hand!
