The name Spumoni makes me think of Louie Prima. He sings about it in Banana Split For My Baby, which is the only reference I have of Spumoni. It’s an Italian ice cream flavor is my guess. In this tea I’m getting rich cherry, maybe a touch of almond with some basey notes that I can’t quite pin. Green tea seems like a strange choice to me for this with the deep flavors added, but maybe it’s a better reflection of Spumoni than I’m aware of. So far it seems like a nice tea, something fun to try, but not take home and introduce to the family.
In the mean time I’ll be keeping my eye out for Spumoni ice cream to try. Maybe in San Francisco’s North Beach? That seems like a good area to hunt for it.

If you’re in a place that has an Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant (chain), they serve Spumoni icecream as their standard dessert.
I am not a fan of Italian food, but loooove Spumoni ice cream! I think it is far superior to Neapolitan, myself, but then, that is probably because I find vanilla ice cream pretty bland, and Spumoni is usually Chocolate/Cherry/Pistachio as it’s 3-flavor combo.
