Oh wow, this one is GOOD. Thanks so much for sharing this one, Mastress Alita! My teaspoon was sure to have a little cucumber slice and little piece of melon included. And the flavor is perfectly balanced between the melon and the cucumber and the fresh green tea. Plenty of flavor here! I’m not usually a fan of cucumber but I love when the flavor balances other flavors. This is fantastic, couldn’t be better, and I will savor this one in summer. I wish I had tea shops like this around here and if they blended this one they are pretty darn good at it.

Flavors: Cucumber, Melon

I’m not normally a fan of cucumbers or melons but this was the sampler tea when I went for my High Tea when I was there during a vacation and I really enjoyed it (since I took some home, I actually have found I like it far more as an iced tea than warm, it reminds me of cucumber water and Japanese melon-flavored drinks). My Nancy Drewing leads me to believe this was not one of their custom blends, but was sourced to their shop from English Tea Store (so my own review is located under English Tea Store for this tea). Though they wholesale, they still offer their teas online to consumers and their prices are actually very cheap, at only around $1.50 for a 1 oz. sampler. I’ll probably be making a lot of pitchers of this one iced this summer as well.

oh cool, thanks for the detective work! I definitely appreciate knowing there is another source for it. I will have to try this iced!

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
