First tea from the Lupicia group buy. This one reminded me of a Teavana favorite, Fruta Bomba. The flavor and aroma of this tea are an exotic tropical fruit explosion. I love tropical-fruity flavors which are amped up to the max in this blend.

At first, I blended it with a straight green tea because of how potent it seemed. But I’ve discovered that Lupicia teas are milder than how they smell. The best results came from steeping as is. It tastes like a juicy tropical fruit cocktail. Super sweet with big hits of pineapple, mango, lychee, papaya, and rose. It’s reminiscent of Mountain Dew but in the best way possible. Less citrusy and without the artificial chemical taste.

I’ve been cold brewing this every day and don’t see myself getting tired of it anytime soon. Hopefully I still have some left by summer because this would be a very refreshing iced tea during the warmer months.

My Rating Criteria:

95 to 100: Top shelf stuff. Loved this tea and highly recommend it

90 to 94: Excellent. Enjoyed this tea and would likely repurchase

80 to 89: Good but not great. I liked it though it may be lacking in some aspects. I’ll finish it but probably won’t buy again

70 to 79: Average at best. Not terrible but wouldn’t willingly drink again

60 to 69: Sub-par. Low quality tea, barely palatable

59 and below: Bleh

Fell into tea many years ago and for a long time my experience was limited to Japanese greens and flavored Teavana teas. My tea epiphany happened when I discovered jade oolongs. That was my gateway drug to the world of high quality tea and teaware.

For the most part, I drink straight tea but do appreciate a good flavored tea on occasion. I love fresh green and floral flavors and as such, green tea and Taiwanese oolongs will always have a place in my cupboard. After avoiding black tea forever, Chinese blacks have started to grow on me. I’m less enthusiastic about puerh though. I also enjoy white tea and tisanes but reach for them less frequently.

Other non-tea interests include: cooking, reading, nature, philosophy, MMA, traveling when I can, and of course putzing around on the interwebs.
