Goji Pop

Much better luck this time with my tea-to-water ratio! Right out of the package it smells great and the big chunks of fruit look good enough to eat! It’s very pink this time (CUTE), so I think that means I got it right. It doesn’t have an overly intense flavor (a positive). The sweet, fruity notes are all kept in check by the very essential hint of lemon – in fact when sipping, the lemon is what tingles on my tongue the most with a very satisfying fruity finish. This will be an excellent summer tea – the flavor combination puts me in mind of sitting on my balcony at night, watching city traffic and sipping on some Goji Pop! This came with my Spring Collection kit and is running out fast so I’ll definately be needing some more! A+

I don’t understand why this tea was so hyped up, since DavidsTea has so many teas that taste a hundred thousand times better. To me, this tea tastes like butter when it’s steeped hot. When made iced, it tastes creamy, with hints of apple and artificial melon. Not one hint of goji. Very disappointed.

A nice refreshing cup from Cameron B. Not much to say about this one. Pleasantly light and fruity. I enjoyed it, but it was unremarkable enough that I wouldn’t spend money on more.

Home – 9:30 PM

Hmm… This does smell amazing dry. But… I used extra for my usual amount of water and it still tastes a bit weak to me. This is always a problem for me with fruit tisanes, they’re heavy so you end up with less volume for the same weight, plus you always have to overleaf to get good flavor out of them. So it ends up being so few cups for the price.

But it is pretty tasty. I’m not sure I know what a goji berry tastes like, so I couldn’t say whether the name is accurate. But there is a nice combination of cranberry and strawberry with honeydew melon and citrus notes. So perhaps goji berries taste similar to cranberries?

I will say, this is one tea where I think the hibiscus is a good addition. It’s not too strong, and it adds a nice tartness while melding well with the berry and citrus flavors.

I’m not a person who’s likely to ever stock a fruit tisane in my cupboard, but if I were, this would be a contender. I can imagine it would be lovely iced as well.

This tea is infinitely nicer lukewarm or iced than it is hot. There are gentle sweet notes (possibly due to the sugar on the honeydew melon pieces) that are undetectable when this is hot. Strongest notes are honeydew and sour lemon; pineapple emerges at cooler temps and with a longer steep time.

This was my go-to summer tea (usually iced). It’s fruity and yummy, not too tart and not too sweet, like a mild version of fruit punch juice, but in tea form and packed with natural ingredients!

I disappointed in this tea :( I was really looking forward to trying it but, I’m not a fan. It’s pleasantly tart but left an awful taste in the back of my throat. Bummer.

This tea smells like fruit by the foot!! It took me forever to put my finger on it but now I’m positive that’s what this reminds me of. It’s pretty good! A little tart, but good. Probably one that I won’t go and buy more of once I run out, but it does make some decent iced tea (if I sweeten it enough).

Got this as a free sample with an order I placed. It’s like fruit punch… hot fruit punch. I’m not a fan. It’s probably very good cold though, I’ll have to wait until summer to try it.

Disclaimer: I’m far from a tea connaisseur/enthusiast. My notes are not meant to be a review for the tea community, but rather for myself so I know what to buy or not buy again (I wish there was a way to keep notes private).

I’ve had this both hot and as a homemade tea pop, both from sample packets, and let me tell you I cannot wait to order a whole tin!
Not your average fruit flavor. I suppose goji isn’t for everyone, but I think it’s delicious and it has just the right sweetness. Tropical without overdoing it. Fruity without being tart. I’m in love.
