The aroma of fruit (apricot!) and a hint of spice greeted me when I opened the package. I don’t know that there is actually any spices in this blend, but, my nose detected a faint note of spice.

This is a very nice combination of apricot and passion fruit. Pleasantly sweet, only faintly tart (which is quite alright with me). I’m not getting any significant amount of spice flavor so I will attribute the spice note that I’m getting to be part of the black tea base. There is some astringency – not a heavily drying astringency, but it does seem to cleanse the palate because there is very little aftertaste.

HOLY APRICOT BATMAN!

But I LOVE Apricot…so…

The aroma is IN YO FACE Apricot right out of the package! Once infused the Apricot and Passion Fruit meet in the middle nicely. The taste is a very flavored black tea…mostly Apricot but I can pick up the Passion Fruit, too! I can’t taste too much a flower taste which is ‘fine by me’ and it’s a tropical fruity taste not really a fruity-floral taste like some tropical blends can be.

This one is very yummy, too!

I’m having a cup of this before lunch. I have decided to do an ALL BLACK TEA DAY today! This is also my last cup of this before sending off the rest to a friend. It’s nice and darn apricotty!

A tad bitter but I like it! See my other tasting notes…

Apricot! YUM! Decided to start my day with this one…juicy and sweet! Very nice!

I’m finishing up my sample of this courtesy of TeaEqualsBliss! Sorry it took so long for me to review. This is a really different black tea and I have really enjoyed it. The tea is smooth with a really nice, juicy apricot flavor. This is great both with and without additions, but I really enjoy it as a tea latte. Thanks again for this sample!
