Apricot Green

Had a sample of this at the 221Tea Party yesterday. Didn’t get a good tasting experience since the water was who knows what temp and the leaves were all in a little tea ball, but it was really good. It’s going on the shopping list and then if my coupon is still valid by the time I go back to school and have extra money, I’ll just skip the sample and get a few ounces of this.

From Ricky:) Hadda kinda wing the amount of leaf/water since the amount he gave me was for a ~7.5oz cup lol. I went w/ 8. Liquor is kinda yellowsh green and it definitely smells like dried apricot. The flavor on the other hand, is unfortunately lacking. But, this was enough to at least make me consider investing $2 for a sample of this. I’m thinking of steeping it using premium sencha parameters- 1.5tsp in 2oz of 160 degree water for 1.5min. Doing that will probably boost my rating quite a bit, but I think this’ll still be a “I’m really glad I tried this and would even buy a sample of it, but probably wouldn’t buy more than that or buy it more than once” tea.

Made this as a cold brew ice tea. Very, very nice, with the tiniest touch of lemon.

Why haven’t I reviewed this before? It was of my first flavored greens. h, well. I always enjoyed it and I still do. A light brew with a natural, almost floral apricot flavor in the background. Don’t over steep and use correct water temp!
Great iced! I almost exclusively brew it that way

Like green tea. So was excited about getting this. I always smell the dry tea leaves before putting in the brew vessel. Love the smell, took me back to being a kid. I wish I had gotten more then just the sample. I would have loved to experiment with this one more. Drinked it hot the first time, felt the Apricot flavor was a little weak. Just give me and excuse to order more. Would love to try this iced.

A nice hot cup for a cold crappy rainy day. The soothing earthy flavors of a green tea with the sweet perky pick me up of apricot :) Now I just wish I had some toast to go with this…

This just tasted more like regular green tea than apricot green tea. I ordered a sample to try and get myself to like green teas, but I was still put off by the overwhelming grassy taste. If the apricot flavor had been more present it might have been better.

I like it…not spectacular though. Have to try it iced, as others have suggested.

Delicious when cold brewed

Loving this tea. It’s so delicate, with perfect amount of apricot flavor. I added about 1/3 tsp of Teavana Youthberry to it (maybe unneeded) and it’s so delicious. I’m in love!

This blend has an amazing smell that, like most teas, it doesn’t live up to. Apricot complements green tea but the flavor is weak and elusive. Brewed hot, the fruityness is barely there; cold brewing brings it out more but not enough to be satisfying. Oh well.

This is one of my favorite Adagio Teas—enough so that I plan to keep rebuying after I run out. Both the green and the fruit flavors come through nicely. I haven’t tried it iced yet, but it’s probably delicious.

This might have been a decent (albeit weak) green tea, but the artificial apricot flavoring tasted like a split lip.

I bought this tea based on high recommendations on Adagio and after coming off a “Mango green tea high,” I was at first slightly disappointed but I have since come around to enjoying this tea. I recommend steeping it for less than 3 minutes otherwise it can get bitter.

I enjoy this one, the key though is to keep the water temp down to around 175 and the steep time short.

I’ve had this tea for awhile, but hadn’t gotten around to trying it until today. I’m afraid the spicy food I had for lunch is affecting my taste of the tea, but despite that, I like it, and look forward to trying it again. It is a very light tea, and I think it’d make a great tea to drink everyday.

One of my favorites from Adagio. The apricot flavor is really nice and doesn’t overpower the the tea itself. Great iced.

Good, at least for a flavored tea. And it’s very inexpensive, so it’s a great everyday green.

It was okay. Came as a free sample and was bagged.
