Geisha Plum (organic)

Green Tea by DAVIDsTEA

This beautiful sencha will win your heart with its alluring plum flavour. It’s pure elegance; each sip conveys the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and refreshing green tea. With juicy bursts of rosehip and gorgeous overtones of almond and apple, it’s not only delicious but also enticingly full of vitamin C. Why not let it keep you and your immune system company this fall?

Tart, juicy then sweet in both fragrance and taste. The green tea is of good quality and rich flavor and the apple was fairly defined. I would have liked this to be more plummy, but it’s such a subtle flavor that it’s difficult to get a strong plum taste without making it seem fake. Overall, not bad.

Trying to keep up with the green tea and vitamin C. I have to say, my allergies are starting to fade. Which is a great, great relief.

That being said, I’m not crazy about this tea. I’m just not a green tea person, I guess. Not hot, at least. Like white teas, I find them more flavorful when cold.

This is what i get for chatting on the phone with my mom while making my jug o tea. I offered her three options: Green tea and pomegranate (Green Seduction), green tea with plum and almonds (Geisha Plum), and Dreamsicle with green tea. I explained I’m trying to get more green tea and vitamin C into my diet. She told me to go with this one because, and I quote, “pomegranate tastes like foot and green tea will ruin Dreamsicle.” >.m looking for, but it seems to steal some of the juiciness from the plum. Bumping it up a few notches, but not many.

Tried another resteep at the urging of Indigobloom, hoping I would like it more.

Nope.

Oh well, at least I’ve got my green tea and vitamin c for the day out of the way. I added a few goji berries just to be sure .

This finished my day downtown at Pride for me. It was wonderful to have something light and refreshing…but I still don’t like this tea.

I steeped this up with some long jing, as I got the last 20 grams at the store which was mostly nuts, apple, and green tea powder and bits.

The long jingo base was definitely present, and the Geisha Plum added a subtle sweetness to the overall tea. It made for a very green, grassy cup with fruity top notes, which was rather pleasant for sipping over morning duties (including the dreaded referencing!). I would have liked a touch more almond, although I was pleased that the almond was very natural and not at all a cloying baking essence type flavor.

Probably not a regular tea, but nice on occasion..

Not bad! Plum doesn’t sound particularly appealing to me, and this doesn’t smell all that great. I like the taste much better than the fragrance, thankfully. Fruity but not overly sweet.

I was quite surprised by this tea. I didn’t expect to really like it, but it’s actually pretty good!

Smelled like bubblegum, which is what drew me in, however, the flavour left me disappointed.

I brewed according to directions and still turned out rather weak with the plum flavour barely noticable above the green tea. Glad this was a limited tea because I won’t be restocking.

The fruity plum flavour is definitely very nice and yummy! However, the green tea itself is a bit bland, I wish the mix of flavours would come out richer.
