Sandia Spice

Black Fruit Blend by New Mexico Tea Company

A special drink, which will rejuvenate your senses. The fragrant aroma of orange is accompanied by a light citrus and cinnamon taste that will warm up the coldest of winter nights or enhance an exotic tropical evening.

This tea also makes a nice morning energizer, or an afternoon pick me up, being tangy and vibrant. With ice this tea is a refreshing drink, with a refreshing combination of flavor and fragrance.

Ingredients:
Black Tea, orange peel, apple pieces, almond pieces, cinnamon chips, and rose petals. Natural cinnamon, and orange flavor.

Additional Brewing Methods:
For 1 gallon of iced te, bring half a gallon of filtered water to boil in a pot. Turn off heat, and add 3 tablespoons (1 oz of tea), let steep for 4-5 minutes. Strain the tea into the other half gallon of cool water and refrigerate. If you want to serve immediately, you can pour the concentrate over ice.

3 Tasting Notes

Smells like holidays. :)

I picked this up thinking maybe my mom, who likes spiced teas but can’t have ginger and cardamom, might like it. She does, and said that it reminded her a lot of Constant Comment. Myself, I’ve never had Constant Comment that I recall so I can’t say.

Heavily orange, heavily cinnamon. I don’t really get apples until it cools off. Then it reminds me a bit of spiced apple cider.

I think it does what it says it does. Not going to be to my taste enough to keep it in the cupboard, but I’ll rate it based on how closely it matched expectations. :)
