Blood Orange Fruit Melange from SpecialTeas

Lisbet drank Blood Orange Fruit Melange by SpecialTeas

I typically can’t stand this one- it’s like drinking warm ‘mixed fruit’ juice. But I’ve just discovered that it’s pretty good iced. Cold, the orange becomes more tart and just slightly bitter. The backdrop of red fruity pieces actually peps this up a bit. It’s like enjoying a refreshing glass of cold juice, but without the cloying sweetness- not saying I’ll buy this again, but it’s got at least one good use.

Sounds pretty awesome. Yeah some teas are like that, if their not good hot, their okay cold. Good stuff :)

I wonder if that Tazo orange would be better iced too?

Lisbet 2010-05-19 16:03:22 -0400

Maybe! :) I go through periods where I like that flavor, but then oscillate back into ‘blegh’. I think I still have one tea bag of it to try iced.

I don’t think anything can improve Tazo Wild Orange. D:

Heh, it’s my father-in-law’s favorite tea- one of the only things he’ll drink :)

Jillian – I agree. :)

Grad student in sociocultural anthropology. I drink tea while reading for my courses, and it makes the books go down easier. I genuinely like most kinds of tea – although fruit tisanes kind of scare me.
