Another sipdown.

I loved the smell of the dry leaves. The aroma of grapefruit is one of my favorite aromas if not my favorite. It wasn’t acidic nor sour but citrusy, sweet and barely tart. I had it hot and iced. Both ways, it was tasty. There was a candy-like flavor, and when I had it cold, it was almost soda popish. I think that was my only problem with it because I’m not a soda pop fan at all. However, I do love grapefruits and I got a lot of grapefruit notes, some lemon, lime, and zest notes. If you like grapefruits, I think you will enjoy this one.

Flavors: Grapefruit, Green, Lemon, Lemon Zest, Sweet, Tart

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it somewhere here before, but my love for grapefruit came from my childhood in the early 90s. Every other Saturday at noon, I’d watch American Gladiators on Fox with my grandfather (Pa-pou in Greek) and we’d finish a bag of 6 grapefruits. Does this tea have any bitter quality at all or is it more candy sweet?

I will weigh in on here – but I do hope that Kawaii433 will respond as well, because it’s her input you seek – I personally think this one has a slightly sweeter note than your typical grapefruit because of some of the other fruits here – and I was going for a hint of candy since this was from the candy shop collection. This one has more grapefruit flavor, in my opinion: https://www.52teas.com/grapefruit-green-tea-taster/

I appreciate any input, including the creator of the tea. Thanks for the link, I will check it out!

52Teas, oh absolutely agree. Your grapefruit green is one of my faves from your shop. :D I gave that one a 90.

Derk, I’m in love with grapefruits too. Love the story about your grandfather. My memories are with my dad who use to bring home huge pomelos and we’d eat them with salt lol. I don’t get pomelos often but grapefruits are just as good if not better to me.

52Teas

oh my goodness, I love grapefruit with salt too! Most people – when I tell them that I enjoy my grapefruit with salt – they give me a weird look like I’m crazy or something. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who likes it that way!

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.
