Maracuya Passion

I have no recollection of buying this tea. I was afraid that it may be OOOld, but the tea is still very fragrant, colorful, and flavorful. So, yay for found tea!

This tea has a very strong tropical fruit aroma dry, but the flavor is far more delicate than the aroma would indicate. The papaya flavor is very natural and there’s a lovely sweetness to the body. The finish is clean without the odd aftertaste that tropical fruit teas can sometimes have. Is it just me, or does artificial tropical fruit flavoring sometimes taste like the smell of BO? Especially guava! Eeewww… Rest assured this tea has a delicious natural flavor, and I’ll defiantly be going for a second steep.

Sick again…….. but perfect cup of tea with some honey for my sore throat. Really pretty red color. Very fruity, added some honey for my throat and I think it makes the tea smoother. I got the second steep and it was still pretty strong.

Nature’s Valium. I’m not kidding. And delicious, too.

Quite tasty! A little weak, but more leaves of course yield more flavor. Plenty of fruit, and for me, it is good for as many as 4 to 5 infusions without losing flavor. It also really exacerbates that fruity, sweet aftertaste known to tea connoisseurs after having a sip. Great for casual drinking, like sitting down with a good book and sipping it intermittently.

Tastes great iced (can’t drink this one warm). When I want it less fruity, I just use 50% of this blend and add 50% green tea.
