Palm Beach Punch

I purchased this at a local Natural Grocers under Natural Grocers packaging, but it is the same tea offered from Tiesta so I’m recording it here rather than creating a duplicate under the Natural Grocers name.

This has been my least favorite so far of the Tiesta/Natural Grocers tea I’ve tried. I’ve been preparing it as cold brew. It’s a hibiscus fruit tea, but honestly I feel like it needs more hibiscus as the hibi flavor and the mouthfeel of the tea is a bit thin. It’s filled with lemongrass and also has a lot of chunky orange zest, leaving the tea a bit strong in the citrus with a somewhat bitter pithy aftertaste. It’s not bad, but I’ve had far better “pink lemonade” teas than this one.

Using up the bottom half of a packet which has been left unattended for quite a while because it leans to the tart side … at least it did when I steeped it conventionally. Infused in the fridge, the sharp edges soften nicely and the Hi-C personality I mentioned in my original review comes to the forefront. I see that someone else throws in a splash of lemonade, which sounds lovely for sultry seasonal swigging.

I absolutely love this tisane. It has a refreshing fruity taste with just a hint of savory eucalyptus that gives is an enjoyable complexity. I like to drink this tea iced with a splash of lemonade.

There are very few teas that achieve what’s basically staple status for me, but this is one of them. It’s tangy and citrusy, and what’s not to love about that deep pink color? The best part, though, is the distinct cooling flavor of the eucalyptus that just totally makes this tea for me. A great anytime tea, but especially good for those under the weather days.

I was surprised with this tea. As stated it really tastes like fruit punch and doesn’t need much (i added a little honey) since it is so yummy. I haven’t tried many loose teas but this is one i will be buying again.

I really was not expecting much from this one but it truly does taste like an unsweetened fruit punch. This would probably be phenomenal iced. The lemongrass balances the fruitiness of the blend. I really had no idea it would be this delicious, I’m kicking myself for just getting the sample! This is in my top 3 for Tiesta.
