Tea #17 from the traveling tea box.
I had no idea going into this what a guanabana was, so google to the rescue! It is a tropical fruit that isn’t imported to the US fresh because it can’t be picked green and doesn’t travel well when ripe. You learn something new every day.
Honestly, I almost skipped this one just based on the smell, I think it smells terrible. After drinking it I was left wishing I had skipped it, it tastes just like it smells. I’m not even sure how to describe the flavor, it reminds me of fruit that has gone bad. It’s very sweet tasting, but just doesn’t taste quite right to me.
I don’t normally dump my tea out, but this one just had to go. I wonder if I would feel differently about this tea if I knew what a guanabana was suppose to taste like?

oh dear! thank you for the heads up…. =0(
I didn’t find it distasteful, just didn’t see anything special about it. I gave it 75 points, though I’m an easier grader than Short Sorceress. My rule was nothing below 70 went into the box.
I am a pretty hard grader sometimes and it seems like I’ve been pretty hard on some of the teas in the box. However, I tend to use my grading scale and reviews to keep track of what I will and won’t reorder. JustJames and I have pretty similar tastes, so I’m pretty sure this is going to be one he won’t particularly care for.
