So it’s affirmative, my crazy Sunday has bled into Monday. I swear I reached for the Bananas and Cream since Tea-sipper said their banana flavor is good… I opened my thermos (Mandala’s glass thermos is awesome btw, no leaks either. Still testing it daily.) and I smelled a lovely grapefruit aroma. Whaaat? Citrus? Is there tangerine in it? No no, it’s definitely grapefruit! This isn’t banana. Sipping it I tasted a nice green tea base with a bittersweet, somewhat tart, grapefruit flavor. btw, I’m a grapefruit nut. A bag of them is always in my fridge. My continued crazy thinking: Wow, this is great but it’s definitely not Bananas.

I went to check which one I actually put in and I saw their grapefruit green tea package in the front. Oh man, Kawaii, you’ve lost it. Anyway, their blend is of organic Chinese green teas: Yun Wu, Chun Mee & Gunpowder with dried, organic grapefruit wedges. It’s very smooth, light, natural grapefruit notes (slight bitterness like grapefruit has) with a nice smooth green tea base with a delicate sweet finish as per the usual profile of decent Yun Wu green teas.

Flavors: Bitter, Grapefruit, Sweet, Tart

Profile

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
