From Teavana

DISCONTINUED

Exotic journeys along age-old spice routes are vividly awakened in each cup of this delicate white tea blend. Rich pomegranate and sweet cherries majestically blend with soft pineapple and apple flavors that will leave you feeling like royalty with every sip.

Soft clean pineapple and apple with subtle undertones of cherry and pomegranate.

Use 1.5-2 tsp of tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 175 degrees (79 degrees Celsius) and steep for 2 minutes. For stronger flavor, use more tea leaves. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.

Ingredients: White tea, candied pineapple pieces (pineapple, sugar, citric acid), carrot pieces, orange peels, natural and artificial flavoring, cherries.

So this tea has been lingering in my cupboard. I think that as the days grow cooler I’m looking for spice and heaviness that can’t be found in lighter blends like this one. I have so much of this one left and I’m not surprised as the dry smell is very overpowering; in a more chemical than natural way. When brewed this takes on some more delicate qualities and I like it a lot more than other apple-esque teas that I’ve tried. I’m lowering the score just a bit because, to be honest, I think that had I tried a sample I would’ve skipped this one completely.
Notes of carrot and crisp apple.

I want to try this one just because of the name, but the flavor combo just doesn’t seem to fit for me.

I would totally trade/send this one out if you wanted it. I am very busy, so it would take a bit, but if you’d like to try it I really have not been drinking this one.

Fantastic! Recommended to me by the guy working at Teavana this flavored white is the perfect blend of pomegranate and sour cherries I’ve ever tasted! Full of flavor with a light and delicate body. I added sugar per recommendation… regret it. Can’t wait to get some more of this.

Given my interest in Ancient History name is interesting. Given that my wife LOVES pomegranite and sour cherry, I’d love to get some.
Any ideas for a purveyor in Australia, anyone?

One of my favorite flavored teas to take with me to work and allow it to be sipped on all day in my insulated travel mug. I envision a crisp iced tea with this too but haven’t tried that yet. As the weather warms up I plan to try it.

Queen of babylon is one of my favorite white teas by Teavana. The pomengranates and cherries give it a very unique flavor that stimulate the taste buds. All their white teas are packed with antioxidants and you seriously feel cleansed after drinking. I would suggest adding more tea when brewing so you get the full flavor =)

I went into Teavana the other day, and the girl in there insisted I try this, so, we mixed it with Lemon Lime Kampai Rooibos Tea & WOW!!!! So delicious, actually came back to the store before I left and bought a tin and mixed them! Such a unique flavor profile!!!!

I’m feeling a little hesitant about this one since I had to do quite a bit of tweaking with the last white tea I bought from Teavana. Hopefully this one won’t be nearly as fussy.

This blend appears to be split evenly between white tea leaves and dried fruit. I can see pineapple and citrus peel plus vibrant orange-colored pieces which I’m guessing must be the carrots I noticed on the label. I can definitely smell the citrus which reminds me of Teavana’s Citrus Lavender Sage but with a fruitier feel. After steeping, the leaves have a tart aroma. This tastes a little like citrus but really it’s just dull and a bit astringent. Thank goodness it’s not bitter though. It’s just surprising to me that this can taste so bland after adding extra tea leaves and using less water.

I stocked up on this tea when I found out they wouldn’t be selling it any more. I have worked to try to create it. I lack carrot bits, and knowledge of what some of the ingredients were. I love the light taste with the fruity undertone. It even has a slightly bitter finish that keeps me satisfied. Overall I find it to be a very relaxing tea. I am sad to slowly work through what if have left of it.

An excellent tea, very fragrant with unique flavor. However, this tea can become bitter if steeped too long. (And that sort of thing doesn’t usually bother me.)
