I almost didn’t order this because of the Silver dragées in it, I really don’t want tea that sparkles, and I don’t think they really add anything to the flavor of the tea. Honestly, I’d rather see them on my christmas cookies than in my tea. I went ahead and ordered it anyway because I love apricot and thought this would make a good iced tea. Funny enough, it’s August and I’m hardly drinking any iced tea, the high here has been in the low 70s so I’ve switched back to hot tea because our low temps have been in the low 50s. Very odd summer weather…
While I think that Della Terra has a lot of really tasty teas and I’m a huge fan I think I may stop ordering peach/apricot flavored teas from them. Is it just me, or do they all taste pretty much the same? I cold steeped this wasn’t nearly as sweet as when I tried it hot so that was a definite plus. The apricot flavor misses the mark a bit, it just doesn’t taste anything like the apricots I had for breakfast this morning, but it isn’t the worst apricot flavoring I’ve tasted. Overall I feel pretty meh about this one.
