Kyoto Cosmo from DAVIDsTEA

Kyoto Cosmo

Fruit Green Blend by DAVIDsTEA

Why try to resist this blend of cranberry and Japanese sencha with its twist of orange? Ice it and your life will never be the same. You’ll find yourself blissfully sipping it all summer long (sometimes, late at night, with a splash of vodka and triple sec). And come winter, the mere scent of it will stir up idyllic thoughts of sunny days, warm winds, deck chairs and rooftop parties.

Drank yesterday.

I keep reading how similar this is to Elf Help, but I can’t believe how much that’s true! I don’t think I’d be able to tell them apart.

It’s pretty good, though. It’s quite tasty but I thought the description sounded so amazing that it’s not knocking my socks off. I think it’s tasty but not a must-have for me.

I don’t know what my problem was the first time I tried this tea, but I drank it again and quite enjoyed it. Maybe it’s just the sense of (hopefully) approaching mild weather, but it seemed so bright and cheery. Quite opinionated for a green tea.

The sencha in this counterbalances the fruitiness really well to make a delicate but juicy cup of tea. I found it not unlike the Den’s Tea pineapple sencha I so love. I will have to ice this one if I have the chance before I drink all of the little pouch of it hot.

Yummy yummy breafast tea. I love this! I find it can get a little tart if left to steep too long, so I like to stop the infusion at 3 or 4 minutes, and I really enjoy it.

I’m not much of a green tea fan, but this is one of the first I tried at David’s Tea about a year ago now and I still enjoy it. I get no green tea flavour or smell from it at all, as it is wildly potent with orange more than anything else for me. The cranberry is very muted…so much so that I never taste it, but that’s okay. As an orange flavoured green, I really do enjoy it. One of the teas that became a “gateway” tea before I knew anything at all…and a sign that my tastes might never become refined, : )

This is the kind of tea that I like, admittedly, fruity greens, especially with citrus involved. The cranberry and orange flavour mixes well with green. A very nice work tea, it’s very even, despite the lack of attention I pay to preparation (put in tea ball, throw into cup, drink until empty of hot water, add more water). Not bitter, faintly sweet and fruity, I’ve been drinking it most weekdays and haven’t gotten tired of it.

Addendum: Make sure you use a fine mesh with this tea. The dregs aren’t particularly drinkable if they’re floating in the bottom.

I think I can see the bottom of the can. I need to go tea shopping soon…

Much better today. I think this is one of those teas which is pretty sensitive to what you scoop out. A little orange peel and a bit of cranberry and it’s lovely. Miss the cranberry and it’s too bitter. I suspect no orange peel would be too sweet.

Back to the good stuff today. I’m going to be slightly sad when I empty my tin of this…

A little bitter today. Wonder if I ended up with too much orange peel or if it’s just I’m getting sick and my tastebuds are off?

I miss this one. It made the best iced tea ever.
