I chose this as one of my free samples when I ordered the “Steepster Select” stainless travel mug from Tea Frog. I am not very well-versed when it comes to green teas, and this might only be the second flavoured green tea I’ve tried. Overall, it’s very pleasant… I was worried that it might be sweet but other than the teeny bit the fruit pieces and coconut add, it’s not really.
I didn’t use a huge, heaping teaspoon so I steeped it a bit longer than I normally would a green tea (about 4-5 min, but I wasn’t watching the clock closely). The colour is very light, a yellowish-green, and the scent is also light—slightly fruity with a hint of something tropical. The flavour is subtle… nothing jumps out at me, note-wise, and thankfully I don’t get anything artificial from this blend. I’m very grateful that I can’t tell there’s ginger in here, and I don’t get any cardamom either. It’s a very pleasant green blend with a little something extra. Nice, but I don’t think it’s a must-have for me when the sample runs out.
