The dry tea has a nice mixed fruity aroma. No one individual smell jumps out at me, but it is a nice blend.

The taste is also a well balanced fruity flavor. Slightly sweet fruity taste with only the slightest bit of tart flavor. Quite enjoyable!

I drank this hot but I am sure it would also be good as an iced tea.

Actually I am still drinking the tea as I am writing and as I reach the bottom half of my cup of tea it is starting to become more tart. The top half of the cup was perfect but the bottom of the cup is a bit too tart. This may be my own fault since I oversteeped the tea on purpose (for 10 minutes at 85C) I often do this for yerba mate because it normally works out great but with the fruit & hibiscus in this tea that is probably not the best idea.

Next time I will try steeping for only 6 minutes and see how that works out.

Bio

I just recently got into tea (fall of 2015).

I love trying many types of tea. So far I have tried many Black, Oolong, Green and White teas as well as Yerba Mate, Rooibos, Honey Bush, Chamomile, Mint and fruit teas. I have liked good teas in almost every category. I don’t go for overly bitter/astringent, tart, or sweet teas and I never add milk/cream, sugar or other sweeteners to my tea.

Even though I have many excellent teas I always want to try a new one just to see what it tastes like and if I like it even better than my current favorites. Eventually I will focus more on drinking my favorites rather than always trying a different type of tea.

Ratings:

85+ Excellent and I will definitely repurchase soon so I don’t run out.

75-84 Really good and I will probably buy it again.

65-74 Good and I might buy it again but on the other hand maybe I won’t repurchase.

50-64 OK and I might finish the box.

1-49 Really did not like it at all. I probably dumped out the rest of the cup for the teas on the lower end of this range.

I am only doing one review per tea. If I drink it multiple times and my opinion changes then I will go back and update my rating and tasting notes.
