Elegantly cut bamboo is the base of this enchanting green tea blend, enhancing the clean refreshing taste of cherry, pineapple, mango, rose and hibiscus.

Yesterday’s steep of this was so disgustingly floral, I almost dumped it. If I wanted to drink perfume, I’d do so. Or … maybe it’s my fault for getting too many of the little rose buds in my infuser?
I digress.
I made an effort to mix up the little bit I have left so that my infuser wouldn’t be filled with flowers again. And it seems to have worked out — the first steep was fruity and quite nice! I was pleasantly surprised. The second steep, however, cooled a little too long and all I got was an oil mouthfeel. What a pity, too, seeing as the first cup of this was soooo tasty.
Finally getting back to Steepster after quite the hiatus. My first clinical rotation is coming to a close this week and things are going to slow down for a bit. I’ve drank tea here and there throughout finals and my rotation. It was never anything new so it never crossed my mind to log. This being my oldest tea I decided to finish it up (as I sat down to order from DavidsTea). I do enjoy this one. It’s like fruit juice with a little kick.
Welcome back!
I remember you said you were studying to be a pharmacist. What do you do in your clinical rotation? Do you work in the hospital or somewhere else? Do you have long hours?
We have eight “blocks” of five weeks. The one I am finishing up is at a specialty pharmacy. We work closely with doctors, coordinators, insurance companies, and patient assistance programs to help people with cancer, HIV, hepC, transplants, and cystic fibrosis. It’s been interesting, yes long hours and most of my remaining time is spent on projects :) I have my next block off though :)
The last time I drank this tea, it did not leave a very good impression on me. I think I had overleafed it and I tried to tone it down a little this time. It came out to a light magenta color and even though I usually do not like fruity teas, this one is not half bad.
Teavana was having a 30% off promotion so I decided to go and get some Snow Geisha to try. The girl who served me asked, “Oh! You like Snow Geisha?” as if she was surprised. I told her that it was going to be my first time trying it, and I was interested in it because of the cherry. She showed me other teas with similar components and I decided that Sakura Allure smelled the best (dry, at least).
So I make myself a cup while working on more homework, God won’t I happy when this semester is over!
I’ve been drinking this absentmindedly while working, and I’ve just realized that hey, this is pretty good. I didn’t know what to expect but I love green tea and I love cherries and I love trying new teas, so I wondered if this would hit the trifecta.
This is very fruity, surprisingly a bit tart, and it is SO comforting. Not in the chamomile-comforting-kind of way, but a more pleasant, quiet tea. I bet this would be fantastic iced.
We love this one iced at my house. I make a nice big batch most mornings in the 32 oz PerfecTea maker, along with a 1:1 ratio of the rock sugar, and drain it into a big pitcher to let cool in the fridge over the course of the day.
The cherry flavour is very strong, and sweeter and brighter than the Snow Geisha. It reminds me of cherry kool-aid but with all the benefits of a green tea and without all the artificial flavour crystals.
