Backlogged again…
My canister of this blend is well past its sell-by date, but it still tastes great! Tiesta wins with the packaging on this, I gotta say.
I normally dislike kiwifruit; I think it’s the texture and the look of it that puts me off, not so much the actual flavor of the fruit. Maybe that’s why I enjoy this blend so much. It’s lightly sweet, and the perfect amount of fruity without being cloying or fake-tasting. I get apple notes as well as kiwi, and the green base has a savory, umami quality to it. The leaves are whole and open beautifully while steeping. Theirs is the only commercial green tea that I can tolerate. The only other green teas I’ve had that I really liked were from Butiki (sob) and Dobra (sob even harder because I moved away from the city where my favorite teashop of theirs is located).
I like this company because they are utilitarian without compromising quality or artistry.
