Superfruit green tea acai dragonfruit & melon

Yeah I know, its Lipton, but its actually pretty good. While this is no Fusion Tea Superfruit Sencha, it is better than any of the Republic of Teas fruit teas I’ve tried. It is light and at first makes me think pomegranate then the sip turns Jolly Rancher watermelon stick without the heavy sweetness. I’ll have a full review on my blog hopefully in a few days.

Hmmmmm… I don’t know what it is about this tea because back in January I LOVED IT. Seriously, I got some of it to try from starberry and immediately went to the store to pick some up. Only to find out that this particular flavor has been discontinued, or at least I couldn’t find it on Liptons website, the internet in general, or any nearby store. BUT, it was at Starberry’s walmart so she picked up a couple boxes for me.

I brought it to work because I haven’t been drinking my bagged tea at home a lot; I just have so much loose leaf now! I figured this would be a great way to get through the neglected teas in my cupboard. Yesterday, I cracked into this stuff and was surprised at how.. grainy? it was. You definitely get that melon taste at the end, but the first sip is bitter. I thought that maybe I just oversteeped it yesterday since its a green tea and I might as well have just left the bag in my mug with how long I steeped it. Today though, I steeped no more than 4 minutes with the same result.

I DON’T KNOW! Maybe after drinking so much better quality teas I’ve just become a prude, haha.

Anyway, the mediocre work tea list ever expands!

I bought both this tea and the Lipton Purple Açai & Blueberry Superfruit at the same time and favor this tea over the other one! The fruity flavor is more prominent and refreshing, not too tart and not too sweet. Apparently the tea is becoming difficult to find, though, so that’s a bit of a bummer since it was my favorite Lipton Superfruit. APPARENTLY MY WAL-MART IS STILL CARRYING IT THOUGH…
