This tea was really surprising.
I did a terrible job of brewing it. I put in closer to 2 tsp of the tea, and mindlessly left it sitting for 10 minutes, instead of the 6 I was aiming for. I was worried I was going to have a bitter, undrinkable mess.
But it was good. Really good. Despite the fact that the bag smells strong, the taste was pretty light, comparatively. A delicious berry flavour, noticeable dragonfruit, and only a hint of tartness. But I guess that’s because it’s (mercifully) hibiscus-free.
Pink Dragonfruit is probably going to become one of my go-to berry teas.
Issues: Next time I brew it, I’ll still probably use the same amount of tea; I’ll just be sure to keep an eye on the timer. This bag isn’t very economical. Lots of tea for a light (but good!) taste. Also, if we’re getting into semantics, this is really more of an infusion than an actual tea. I kept finding massive chunks of the dried fruit!
Dragony?! Hee hee. I don’t actually like dragonfruit, but with that sort of raving review I’d definitely try the tea!
Everyone should try this tea!
ooh! no hibiscus is a bonus!
Wow, 100! I’m glad I got some of this.
No hibiscus is always a plus in my books.
I agree with Jillian.
I didn’t think it was legal to make a fruity tea blend without hibiscus anymore, what with the way it’s been contaminating everything lately. Nice to see a tea (and a good one, at that!) that is wonderfully hibiscus free.
Does it actually taste like dragonfruit??
not a clue in the world, I’ve never had dragonfruit. I should try it, though.
ha!
Fresh dragonfruit may taste better than I think… the quality in some grocery stores is dodgy. Either way….!
I always considered dragonfruit to be quite bland whenever I’ve tried it, but as Krystaleyn said, the quality of the more exotic imported fruit in the stores isn’t always the best.
I clicked on the tea because I was looking for something else and am just completely captured by the look of it! It looks like muesli with freeze dried berries in it – I want to have some for breakfast!
