When the spring teas were first released, I picked up a small bit of the Melon Drop to try out. Unfortunately, I brewed it hot and wasn’t impressed with the tea. It had a very mild flavour. I actually gave away the rest of the tea to a friend. The next time I went in to David’s Tea, however, a worker there mentioned that it was AMAZING as an iced tea. So, I wanted to give it another try. I didn’t pick up any more to try that day, but hoped to get some at a later date. Unfortunately, by the time I got around to buying some, it was already gone. In fact, a woman had come in moments before to get a cup to go and they used up the very last bit of tea on that cup to go. Fortunately, they still had the tea in the tea maker. So, the guy working there gave me a tiny iced sample…..and IT WAS AMAZING! Very refreshing! Wish I had picked up some earlier.
As a hot tea, I give it a 20/100….totally unremarkable, completely forgettable.
As an iced tea, I give it an 85/100…..so good! highly recommended!

Okay, so when I dropped in to David’s Tea to check out the new Summer Collection, I saw that Melon Drop was still on the tea wall. Apparently, they got one bag in. So, I picked up a bunch. After brewing a full cup of it iced, I am increasing my rating to 94/100. This is really, really, really good. So refreshing. It is such a shame that the tea is being discontinued before summer is in full swing, because it makes a perfect iced tea. I wish I would have stocked up on it a lot earlier.
