The afternoon is my white/green tea time of day and I chose this one today as it’s been a while since I had it, I think probably the day I received it in the mail.
I am not a big fan of melons in general, I only have the occasional piece of watermelon, and I’m talking like once a year. I wouldn’t even touch other melons, including cantaloupe. I do like the occasional melon flavoured candy (nerds is the only one that comes to mind right now). I ordered this tea because it was on sale and it had such amazing reviews!
I always steep my whites in warm water because I am not big on waiting around for tea. I usually forget about them and they turn bitter. I hate when I ruin white teas. This one probably steeped for 15 minutes today and it was AMAZING! So delicate and delicious! It is such a natural melon flavour, but better! I can’t attest to the flavour being specifically cantaloupe as I haven’t had one in 15 years or so, but it doesn’t really matter what melon it tastes like to me. Why can’t an actual melon taste like this!
Now this isn’t a tea I would have everyday only because of my dislike for melons. I have to be in the mood. But I would recommend this tea to anyone, whether you love melons or not, it is just that good. Bumping up my rating because it was way better than I remember. I must have over-steeped a bit last time.
