Omnomnomnoms. So good.
This smells incredible! Like freshly cut grapefruit. I’m in love!
The taste is less impressive, but still quite nice. Not as powerful, but then I did expect that. The green base is ok but I think it might have been paired with a “fresher” more grassy green tea. Mum loved it as well, but her doc says she can’t have green tea so only a tiny cup for her.
I love that the bitterness of the grapefruit actually flows through to the taste. The best part, I think! I do adore grapefruit when it isn’t TOO bitter. Sometimes you get one that is just too much. But this tea? yeah, perfect balance!
Again, the only thing I would change is the base, but even then it’s not so bad, just not perfect is all. Thanks for the sample bag Sil or was it VariaTea?
Anyhow, if I can get my hands on more of this I’ll be a very happy girl :)

Fruity Lupicia teas do really well when cold steeped in the fridge. Something to think about if you get more of this tea. :)
Mmmm yeah I’d definitely give that a shot! Do you use a hot water starter or just cold water all the way?
Usually room temperature water, put in in a mason jar with the tea and stick it in the fridge overnight. Sometimes I add sugar when I put it all together depending on my mood and the tea.
I usually start mine off with just a little bit of hot (tea appropriate) water and then top it off with room temp. But that also depends on how much time I have, as usually I’m in a rush when I remember to cold brew! :P
How does this compare to Butiki’s Grapefruit Dragon?
I personally liked it better. The grapefruit is more intense, I got barely any flavour from the Butiki one myself!
Thank you! I will have to look at trying this one!
One day I hope to get my hands on some more as well. Definitely on my purchase list :)
