Ice Wine

Black Tea by Tropical Tea Company

Ice Wine is made from a luxury black tea from Sri Lanka and has been blended with freezed dried grapes, luxury white tea, and Ontario Ice Wine. Ice Wine will brew a delicious, fresh, and piquant white grape flavor with hints of exotic fruit that pleasantly lingers on the tongue.

Background of this tea: Ice Wine is produced when the grape is frozen solid on the vine and harvested at a maximum temperature of negative 10 degeree celsius. The frozen grapes are then pressed and the result exudes aromas of apricot and honey with a fine balance between fruit flavors, sweetness, and acidity. Ice Wine ends up a golden color or deep rich amber and has a very sweet taste of apricot, peach, melon or other sweet fruits.

Wow. So… I really want to write a good thorough review of this tea.

But I can’t. The first drink made me cringe. I tried a couple more sips so I could at least give it some attempt at a review. It tastes like artificially flavored powdered grape beverage, thrown in a blender with a stick of cherry lip balm and a pot of tea.

If I can say one good thing about this cup, it’s that they did not skimp on the flavorings for this brew. Unfortunately, those flavorings are terrible. Oh man would I avoid this if at all possible. I can only vaguely imagine a brew tasting worse.

Very fruity aroma. Very perfume-y taste.
