I was underwhelmed by this one. The smell of the dry tea was great (very fruity), as was the smell of the teacups after we had finished the tea (they smelled sort of like Virgil’s cream soda), but the taste of the tea itself was rather weak. I could tell that it was vaguely fruity, but neither the taste of the tea nor the taste of the fruit was strong enough. I don’t like most flavored teas, with a few notable exceptions (like Earl Grey), partly because I love the taste of tea, and I find that the other flavors often overwhelm the taste of the tea. Here, though I feel like both the tea and the fruit underwhelmed each other. My wife enjoyed it, but it was just missing something for me. Oh, and it was difficult to get the smell out of my French press (as is the case with many flavored teas). I just wish I liked the taste as much as I liked the smell.
