Forbidden Fruit Orchards Tea from Forbidden Fruit Orchards

teaddict drank Forbidden Fruit Orchards Tea by Forbidden Fruit Orchards

This is a quite splendid delicate and floral white tea, with a hint of blueberry tartness. I am not typically a fan of flavored teas, but this one was quite impressive.

We used cups holding about 5-6 oz of water, water at 160 degrees, and one teabag per cup, steeping about 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 or 4 minutes, and one last one might have been closer to 10 minutes.

I was expecting an interesting novelty: locally grown! from California! but was quite impressed by this neat little tea. Per the web site, it’s quite pricey (I got this packet as a gift), but worth a try if you live near enough to find some.

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for 30 years, but only bought 2 brands of 2 different teas for most of that time. It took me almost 30 years to discover sencha, puerh, and green oolongs. Now I am making up for lost time.

I try to log most of my teas at least once, but then get lazy and stop recording, so # times logged should not be considered as a marker of how much a particular tea is drunk or enjoyed.
