Thanks to RogersCK for this sample!
From the bag this smells exactly like fruit snacks/fruit punch. It was so fruity that I couldn’t even smell anything relating to green tea. Brewed, it’s a deep pink hue. I added sweetener as it was a bit bland without. It’s hovering right around the “am I drinking cough syrup?” and “mmm cherry”. The thing that saves it is the other flavors.
I bet this would be good iced!
I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.
Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:
Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener
Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.

I agree on the borderline ‘cough syrup’ taste. I do like it better iced.
