Tea of the Week for February 11, 2019!
This is a Pear, Apple & Cherry green tea. At first, I thought I’d call it Super PAC green tea, but then I thought better of it because I don’t support the idea of Super PACs & it’s probably better that I not bring politics into my tea. Then Mat came up with PAC-Man & I liked it. It’s a better name than Pear, Apple & Cherry Green Tea plus it fits much nicer on the label. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that by using the name, I won’t upset the makers of the game & hopefully won’t receive a Cease & Desist because this really has nothing to do with a video game character except that he enjoys munching on fruit occasionally & this is a delicious, fruity tea that I’m sure he’d also enjoy if PAC-Man … you know … drank tea.
Anyway – about this tea: an organic blend of Chinese Chun Mee & Gunpowder teas blended with Pears, Apples & Cherries. It’s sweet. It’s juicy. It’s a cup of fruity deliciousness!
It’s also all organic, VEGAN, gluten-free & allergen free!
organic ingredients: green teas, pears, apples, cherries & natural flavors

Not my favourite. I don’t think I’m a fan of the cherry flavouring used in this blend, and I don’t really pick up on apple or pear at all (but really, they aren’t strong flavours so that’s not surprising). Ambivalent about the base; it does have the tendency to become bitter with too long of an infusion, as most greens do.
I probably should stop trying fruity (non-berry) greens; my track record with them is pretty sad! I can’t even think of one I’ve enjoyed recently. That said, I wonder how this fares as an iced tea?

Anyway, this is a tea from our menu of teas for February. This tea wasn’t actually inspired by Pac-Man, it’s simply a blend of Pear, Apple & Cherry together with an organic green tea base of Chun Mee & Gunpowder. I thought PAC-Man was a better name than “Pear, Apple & Cherry”.
I’m enjoying this one as iced tea today – I did the taste testing as hot tea and really loved it that way but I knew this would be best iced (most fruity green teas are). Since I only had a very small amount of this left in my pantry, I wanted to use the rest for iced tea.
The green tea base is nice – I love this combination of Chun Mee & Gunpowder. The fruity notes are also quite pleasant – I notice pear as the prominent flavor but the apple and cherry come through nicely too. I wanted to be careful with the cherry as I am always mindful of the ‘medicinal’ note it can often have – but with these other fruits in play, I don’t pick up on any hint of cough medicine.
Delicious, fruity and refreshing – makes a nice glass of iced tea on this warm spring evening.
PS: We only have one taster pouch of this one left!
