Luscious Watermelon

I put some of this in cool water, and then left the house. For 12 hours. When I got back, this was strong! It was overpowering and candy-like. Fair enough.

I diluted it a little and it was very good. I mustn’t get too attached, but this is such a good iced tea.

love love love iced

easy way to increase water intake ;)

I just tried this today and I must say I am very impressed. The smell alone is enticing and reminded me of a watermelon gummy bear, watermelon is infused throughout and there hints of flavors that aren’t on the label. I could swear I am still tasting a bit of banana. Can’t wait to taste this iced, and I don’t think sweetening would be necessary.

It’s got a nice fruity smell, and tastes pretty good so far.

Luscious Watermelon tea absolutely does not taste like watermelon. To me and to the girl who served me at the DAVIDs TEA location I frequent, it tastes and smells like banana yet there’s no banana in this tea. It’s refreshing when it’s iced but to me the fruit does not taste like real fruit. However, it’s not bad for what it is. Although I won’t be buying more once my 50g is done.

I grabbed 30g size of this tea… and when I got to work to make some I noticed I got one of the defective bags the sales gal told me about >__< so the zipper is ripped and I bet this tea’ll go stale fast.

Brewed at work in my libre glass it was horribly tart with this huge freak piece of…. melon? floating in it – it was white and big. But yeah, I would of poured it out if I wasn’t so thirsty. I’m thinking I had a bad scoop for that cup.

At home, brewed properly it very much tastes like watermelon with a tart aftertaste. I’m sure this is very dependent on how much sugary melon bits you get on for it to taste impressive. And the watermelon taste is legit watermelon, not the “dirty sock” fake watermelon candy taste, but not as sweet as I thought it would be. With that said, I really need to try this iced and sweetened, though I bet I won’t be buying more of this tea (and if I did, it be online only).

Also.. fishing out the big white melony chunks after steeping is yumm!

I tried this tea twice – once in store at David’s Tea and then here at home. Both times were cold as I’m thinking that watermelon would not be very great hot.

At David’s Tea, they did a hot brew over ice for me and I have to say that I found this tea different then I originally thought it would be. It’s not as watermelony as I had hoped – instead, I have an almost banana flavour (I’m thinking it’s perhaps green melon flavour though). There is a note of apple aftertaste, which I actually liked, but I didn’t get any of the berry flavour that other reviewers got (sad!). I was hoping it would be more like the Bubbalicious Watermelon gum (remember that?), but less of a fake flavor. No dice though.

At home, I did a cold brew for 24 hours in the fridge before tasting. The cold brew was MUCH better in my opinion – though it still isn’t very watermelony, the weird green melon taste is definitely lessened. I definitely get the slight berry and apple flavors now. While I enjoyed it more cold brewed at home, it’s still not a tea I’d seek out again. That being said, I think that’s more of my palate and what I’m wanting in a tea, rather than the actual tea itself. If you’re looking for a fun juicy tea, then this is definitely an option.

WOW the dry tea smells like Watermelon bubble gum!

as it steeps i love the pretty colour the water is turning and the smell… mmmm

I’m going to try this warm as I am at work and don’t have what i need to ice this but i will definitely take this home and try it chilled, I’ll let you know how that turns out!

wow this tastes as good as it smells! amazing stuff! definitely buying more of this!

Oh, I should have bought more than 50g! I have already had two glasses and I am considering steaping the rest of the bag to keep in the fridge. I will certianly get back to Davids Tea for another 100g+!!!

I am really, really impressed with this! I don’t usually like herbal teas – they wind up being too tart – but this is nice and sweet and smooth. I may have to invest in a tin…

This tea is nothing short of my favorite. Served warm, it’s a perfect solution to a sweet craving. Served cold in the summer, it’s refreshing and perfectly balanced.

(And if you’re hungry, you can actually eat the dried melon – tastes like candy.)

Steeped nice and dark thanks to the beetroot, but I need a finer mesh than the ball I used. There are little floaties and swirls of secret tea stuff throughout my mug. It has spectacular little oil drops on the top. The ingredients list (Apple pieces, carrot flakes, dried watermelon flakes, wild strawberry leaves, dried honeydew melon, beetroot pieces, flavouring) doesn’t open my eyes as to what they’re from, but I do like them.
Smell is very fruity. I don’t know that I’d pick “melon” out as the base behind that fruit based on the smell. Smells more like a soap or a bath product that you’d smell and say, “Oh, I’d like to eat that!” than a tea you actually intend to drink.
The weight of the tea is spectacular. It comes in like cream, but is evasive against the surfaces of your mouth like mercury on linoleum. But once you swallow it, there’s a drenching cool juiciness left behind. I quite like it.
The taste is very nice as well. I sprinkled in my sugar before tasting, as I am wont to do. I don’t think I’d suger it up next time. You can really get the watermelon and honeydew in the flavour.
This doesn’t seem like a tea to me, though. More like a treat in the summer after the sun has gone down, to help keep the sunshiney warmth inside.

Unfortunetley this was just part of the David’s Tea Summer Collection 2010, but this tea is amazing! I stocked up before the summer season ended
I find the problem with some herbal teas is that it tastes better either hot or cold. This tea, is perfect both!
It also gives off an amazing fragrance
Doesn’t require much sweetening

Luscious. What a great word, and very appropriately used here. I got this one in the Summer 2012 collection. Tastes like watermelon juice. Super refreshing. I’ve only ever had it iced and wouldn’t dare try it hot, but if hot fruit floats your boat, well, the heart wants what it wants.

This is fabulous as iced tea.

I have a hard time finding watermelon in this tea. Sure, it smells like watermelon candy (NOT watermelon!) and tastes a bit like watermelon candy. But is it like biting into a nice, juicy watermelon on a hot summer’s day? No. That doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s yummy. Just not watermelon-y.

Since I’m not a massive fan of this on its own, I added it to plain mate in my gourd one morning, and it was delish. I would recommend it!

I have to say this is one delicious tea! It was sold out for a while and they finally had stock late aug. I love this iced, actually it taste odd hot. It is sweet, so you don’t need to add sugar. I don’t think I taste a lot of watermelon. I get more honey dew melons as apples. In my 100g tin there is barely any watermelon pieces but it taste great regardless.

This tea was…not very good.
When I smelled it from the package, it was promising. It smelled sweet and light and well…like watermelon.
When I brewed it however, the sweetness was overpowering, and instead of tasting like watermelon, the predominant flavour was peach.
I tried it again iced, but I still didn’t like it.
It was still unpalatable; incredibly sweet, and it tasted like artificial peach flavouring.

I always put way more tea than needed to make it a really great iced tea. Oops. :p Mixes great with 7-up or ginger ale.

I love Watermelon, so when I saw a watermelon flavored tea, I had to! I’ve only had this one iced, but it is so good! Steeped in my steeper for about 8 mins, poured over ice with a bit of agave nectar, HEAVEN! Refreshing, smells delicious, and doesn’t have any particularly overpowering taste of any of the fruits and they all compliment eachother wonderfully! My boyfriend even likes this one, and he hates tea :P It would be an awesome one for kids, if I had any!
