Opened this one up tonight and hot brewed it. I don’t believe I’ve ever had a fruit infusion before. I was still expecting something more. Rooibos, Honeybush. Something! But this is nothing but fruit. With my lack of a sense of taste I fully expected to be drinking hot water. It brewed into such a pale color that I really expected it to be flavorless hot water.

But I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was wrong! The flavor is as delicate as the color, but it is definitely there. Sweet. Maybe artificial, but I can’t tell. I purchased this with the intention of drinking it iced this summer. I ‘ll try that too, but this is very nice for a relaxing evening cup. I believe I’ll pick up some more.

Flavors: Sweet

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
