Cameron B. was dead on when she said this tasted like honeydew. I am a little disappointed because to me the dry leaf smelled strongly of apple but this is a smokey honeydew tea for sure. Very strange. Not bad strange though. It is pleasant but not something I need to keep around. Still, I don’t think I would necessarily turn away another cup.

Hah, I’m glad I’m not crazy and other people taste smoky honeydew as well!
I took a sip and couldn’t place it and then I remembered your note and was like “OMG! She is right!!”
Thanks guys for the criticism. It’s input like this that we need so that we can improve our teas. We think that we missed the mark with this tea ourselves. To me it tastes more apple cider-y than anything else. What does honeydew taste like? I’m unfamiliar with that descriptor/flavour and cannot pin-point it in my mind.
Honeydew is a melon – unless you avoid all melon on principle you’ve probably tasted it: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Honeydew.jpg
Ok I know what you mean now. I’ll steep some up later this evening and see what I get, I’m sure I will. Both these folks have been pretty spot on so far. Thanks for the clarification.
