Auggy drank Grapefruit Green by Lupicia

Based on the smell, I anticipate an obnoxiously sweet grapefruit taste. But it’s much milder than that. A green tea taste with a light, enveloping, faintly grapefruit taste. Quite tasty but I kind of want the obnoxiousness.

Oh I like this tea for the same reason (kinda). I’m not the biggest grapefruit fan — but the grapefruit-ness of this tea is so subtle that I actually brew some of my roomie’s stash of it from time to time.

The smell on this one reminds me of a grapefruit gum I love and I just end up a little sad that it tastes more like tea instead of gum. But I will say that I think Lupicia does a really good job of making their flavored teas not be obnoxious and it’s one of the reasons I tend to like their flavored teas so.

I’ve decided to brave the slowness that is Steepster because I miss seeing all the good teas folks on here discover! Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.

1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!

Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
