I missed out on the Honeydew Maté when it made its brief reappearance, so I decided that this tea might be the next best thing. The salesperson joked that she was disappointed that the blend wasn’t called ‘Melon Degeneres’ but I think ‘Honey I Dew’ is pretty cute as well.
I love melon flavours, particularly honeydew, so I was really looking forward to this tea. The flavour of the hot tea was very much sweet honeydew and cantaloupe melon, though it could easily be a herbal for all the difference the white tea base made in the taste.
I started off really enjoying it but interestingly as the tea cooled off the flavours started to get a little bit strange. The melon became more artifical and the tea left a bit of an odd aftertaste in my mouth. Usually I like fruit tea more as they cool off and I was thinking that this one would be good iced – but the opposite seems to be true of this blend.
