So, I first tried this tea in a Teavana store. I had a coupon for a free hot tea, so I tried this. The leaves smell of a wonderful concord grape, which I love! I had them brew it to my instructions (no sugar, 1tbsp/16oz) and it was like drinking warm grape juice with a mild oolong note at the end. I personally loved it then.
A few months later, I was in Teavana to purchase some of their “end of year” sale items and noticed that this tea was 75% off! I bought 8oz of it, thinking I would drink it quickly, but it definitely doesn’t taste like what I had in the store anymore.. Not sure why, but the grape flavor isn’t really noticeable and it’s just like drinking a low-quality oolong that makes you go “…meh.”

Yikes! Eight ounces! You might try leafing it a bit heavier than normal. I’ve often found I need to with Teavana teas.
I can’t resist a good sale! And since I liked it so much (I would have rated it 90 at the initial taste), I thought it was worth it.
I hope you figure out a way to make it delicious, cause 8oz is a lot to get through.
