Watermelon Cooler

Another cold brew, using two pouches for my 1L pitcher.

This is a nice enough watermelon tisane, it’s fairly light but has a nice watermelon candy sort of flavor, with a bit of tartness adding dimension. I would say the watermelon itself is partway between candy and fresh watermelon.

My only complaint would be that it could be just a bit stronger IMO, and this is with me already using double the recommended amount. But it still makes a nice, light refresher for the summertime.

I was excited about the concept of this one, but I brewed a pot and I wasn’t a fan – it was too watered down – maybe you’re not supposed to double steep this? I’ll give it another try and just steep it once, and see if I like it any better.

Cold Brew Sipdown (900)!

I liked this more as a cold brew – it’s less distinctly apple tasting and has more of a sweet, mellow watermelon flavour. What was most interesting, surprising, and also delicious was that in cold brewing this tea it also tasted quite creamy as well. Watermelon and cream/vanilla is sort of a strange thing to think about for me as a combination but I enjoyed it a lot in this format.

Not sure I would order this again, as I do typically prefer a juicier and more robust flavour from any melon tea that I purchase but I do think it’s a nice blend. If you’re trying it, I have to recommend going with a cold style of preparation. It’s just so much nicer that way.

Got a sample of this awhile ago, finished it right away. Thought since I’m waiting for new samples, this would be a good time to try to fill in some tea/tisane that I enjoyed in the past.^^

First off, if you like watermelon, I highly recommend this herbal tea. I enjoyed it so much. It was perfect for my late, late, laaaaate evenings since it’s caffeine free. The liquor is a light pink, and it has chunks of apple, a bit of Cranberry, Hibiscus Flowers and few more healthy ingredients. It was so refreshing, and tastes like the juice of a watermelon. I had it hot and also iced. Both ways it was thoroughly enjoyable. Probably my favorite herbal tea/tisane up to date but to be honest, I haven’t drank that many :P. I do remember that I had to steep it longer because the taste is pretty faint, and I loved the taste so much that I steeped twice as long.

This tastes like watermelon candy. I’ve definitely had better melon teas, but this is nice enough. Just go in expecting sour watermelon candy. Not sure if I would repurchase, but I don’t regret my cheap sample!

Got this as a free sample in my most recent order. I saw Adagio teasing us with free watermelon tea on Twitter and I couldn’t resist. So I made a small end-of-summer order.

The contents of the pouch look like a mix of dried apple cubes and red potpourri. The apple pieces were all clumped together, so I broke them up with my spoon. Now, I haven’t had an Adagio tisane in like ten years. I tried a few back in the day and thought they were good, but I need my caffeine fix and without that, those teas were basically expensive juice that I had to assemble myself.

But… but watermelon. So, the pouch gave a range of 5-10 minutes. I went with 8, preparing it strong to go over ice. It didn’t come out quite as bright pink as I was expecting with the hibiscus content. It’s more of a peachy pink. Kinda like cantaloupe. However, the flavor is pretty spot on. Very melony despite how much apple is in it. And it’s very natural-tasting… not like a Jolly Rancher or anything like that. I’m really looking forward to blending it with a coconut black tea in the morning.

Big disclaimer, though — I used twice as much tea as you’re supposed to. I’ve had a bunch of teas like this and by now I know what’s up.

I think this herbal is amazing. It tastes exactly like biting into a piece of warm watermelon. I have only had it hot, but I think it would be awesome cold. My husband, who does not like flavored tea at all, even liked the taste of this. I will definitely be repurchasing this one.

Drinking it hot, it tastes like someone microwaved watermelon. I love it.

This is tasty, but I found that one sample pack didn’t make a full pitcher cold steeped, like most of the other herbal blends I cold steep. However, it did have a juiciness that very much resembles fresh watermelon. I would consider repurchasing even if just to give it a go with the right amount of tea.

Here’s my first time trying to brew iced tea as well as drink it =) I’d really, really appreciate any tips since I’m even more of a confused n00b when it comes to iced tea lol- do I steep the tea longer when making iced tea? After I pour the hot tea into the cup of ice, do I leave the ice in or do I take it out after a while? I don’t want to water down the tea…

Anyway, initial reaction: OMGLOB THIS IS SO GOOD!! So refreshing, I love it!! “Watermelon Cooler” tastes sooooo good as an iced tea! There’s definitely a different taste between this one hot and this one iced but it’s so yummy either way (again, it’s like drinking a jolly-rancher) So glad that the world of tea keeps getting bigger and bigger =D

- loose tea w/ infuser
- 3 or 4 sugar cubes (I’m out of rock sugar)

(Poured hot water into infuser full of tea, steeped, then poured tea into a glass full of ice cubes, then added 3 or 4 more sugar cubes.)
