Apricot Honeybush from Radiance Tea House and Books

AmazonV drank Apricot Honeybush by Radiance Tea House and Books

Steep Information:
Prepared after the official tasting, during the Steepster meetup and tea tasting

Tasting Notes:
Smell: Sweet pineapple, apricot
Medium body
Taste: Smooth, fruit juice
After taste: mint/menthol

Sorry my notes are so short and cryptic but we were having fun chatting it up. (Thanks again to everyone from Steepster for hosting this.)

Rating: I am intentionally not rating these teas as I didn’t really have a chance to sit there and sip on them and think whether I would by them again, like to play with them more, although none were awful (1 leaf) or fabulous (4 leaves)

But did you like this tea? Was the flavor good?

I enjoyed it, it was a very fruit-juice kind of beverage, but it wasn’t a new favorite and I don’t think i’ll buy some / get it again next time i make it to NYC

Stephanie 2010-05-23 00:36:11 -0400 less than a minute ago Got it! Thanks for elaborating. :) I’m looking for good fruity teas and tisanes (and I discovered that honeybush is a great vehicle for fruity flavors!)

AmazonV 2010-05-23 00:37:02 -0400

tried the hibiscus pineapple lychee republic of tea?

_{Oops sorry about my correction above!}
No I haven’t tried that one—sounds so tropical! If you think it’s good, then I will have to try it! :)

Bio

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).
