Well I’m back in NY for the moment. Ran some errands today and ended up at the grocery store that carries this line of teas, and this time I chose the honeydew instead of the honeysuckle. I wasn’t expecting it to be sweetened because the honeysuckle one wasn’t, so at first I was caught off guard and I didn’t think it tasted very good. Then after I adjusted form my expectations, I enjoyed it a lot more. It’s not super sweet, and it really does taste like a ripe honeydew melon. There is a little bit of tea taste in the background there, but not a lot. I think I would like it better if it were unsweetened because I have a feeling that the honeydew extract would lend itself to slight sweetness anyway, and it would be more refreshing.

I agree with you about the sweetening issue. Don’t most people eat honeydew and cantaloupe without sugar? Why sweeten this?
Well honeydew is naturally sweet, of course, and the drink did tastes like honeydew in that way, not extra sweetened honeydew. From a tea perspective, though, I have gotten used to drinking fruit flavored teas that aren’t sweet so I think I would prefer it that way.
