This tea is very fruity and reminds me of a summertime cocktail with a little umbrella in it that you’d sip poolside. The papaya is an interesting addition and not an ingredient that I encounter in teas very often. It adds a really nice tropical flavor. I’m happy that there’s no coconut in this blend. I steeped it for a few hours in my travel mug before pouring it over ice. Even so, it was quite weak. The tea is tart but slightly sweet. I almost wish there was more hibiscus and/or that cranberries were at the beginning of the ingredient list. I think it’d be nice paired with hibiscus leaves (or a tea like Queen of Tarts from DT) or another fruit infusion that has a bit more flavor like ME to WE. I’m not thoroughly impressed but I might buy a bag when the summer collection is released.

Interesting! Might pick some up to try in spite of my resolve to use very little DAVIDs TEAs’ as iced tea this summer (their herbal fruit blends are min $8/50g and that’s just too expensive when my husband and I go through 2L pitcher a day combined)

I hear ya. I make it a point to plan ahead so that I can steep to chill rather than steep to ice (thereby using less tea).
