I want to thank Bethany yet again for another tea/tisane introduction! Based on her ‘muted’ comment on this one I decided to steep for 6 minutes…it said 5 on the package. It’s very much papaya to the nose but to taste it’s papaya PLUS a sweet-sugar taste with very very slight floral undertones. Again, it’s sweet…and I think I like it! The sweetness works well with this! Maybe the longer you steep the sweeter it is!? Perhaps…

This actually tastes a LOT like my Xaouen tea from da.u.de – sweet and tropical-y with rose overtones and a hint of citrus. The rose isn’t as prominent in this blend though and the apricot flavour, which is fairly distinct, is new too.

This is another tea I’m keen to try iced.

I actually finished this last night but I was too tired to write a tasting note. I had the last of this tea iced and it was quite good, fresh and crisp, though it could stand to be a bit sweeter – maybe I’ll stir in some agave nectar if I have this tea again.

This is a delicious, unusual fruity tea! It’s got a pale sort of papaya sweetness with a hint of mango. I found it to be really relaxing, and tropical in a way that’s not overbearing. Plus, my first intro to ‘Green Bush’ aka green rooibos (which I could hardly taste in comparison to the lovely fruit). This would be amazing iced, but my sample might not last that long. It’s nice to taste a mostly fruit tea that I actually like. Perfect for the summer.

Oddly I keep finding myself forgetting that I have this sample- proof, I suppose, that I rarely reach for fruity teas. I also don’t like the taste hot as much as I do cold; the tropical cocktail taste just really goes with a cup of iced tea. Do give this one a shot for summer iced teas though!

From yesterday. I’m not sure how I feel about this one. It tastes a LOT like my beloved Mighty Leaf Tropical Green, but the flavors are more muted. I was expecting it to be a lot more flavorful.
