My curiosity led me to purchase this tea – and this was my first purchase from 52teas. I am a definite fan! I’m sure everybody’s will taste differently, but mine was wonderful – very fruity and sweet. I could taste apricot, berry, lemongrass and a hint of ginger in my first cup. My second cup was much more fruity – apricot, cherry and berry. The green tea is high quality, too. Overall, this is a very refreshing and unique blend. Yummy!

Thanks! :) I know, my husband questioned why I would want to try this tea over others, but I loved the idea and took a risk. I’m so happy I did! :)
There are personal preference reasons why I doubt I’d like this, but I love the fact that he did this blend- my mom snidely calls my personal blends “kitchen sink blends” (she likes very simple flavors and isn’t big on tea to begin w/)… but this is way more over the top than even I would go:)
I started an interesting thread here http://steepster.com/discuss/863-steepster-poll-rating-methodology-personal-preference-or-flavor-accuracy on the theory behind tasting notes and ratings and I think the one reason I’m avoiding it is because neither method would work.
Method 1- Flavor accuracy: It would be way too hard to distinguish alll the flavor profiles going on here
Method 2- Personal preference: I’m not a fruity tea person normally and my own personal preference is that I be able to distinguish all ingredients (along with that they are cohesive and I can taste the base tea). So I think I’m meant to admire this one from afar lol.
I find it funny this was your 1st purchase from them lol. Welcome to the 52teas family!:)
