Tea of the Week for May 27, 2024!
Oh, WOW! This tea is so good!
When I had received the freeze-dried cantaloupe, it was beautiful & so tasty, but I wasn’t sure how I would utilize it – so this tea kind of just came together intuitively. I started with an organic gunpowder – fresh & nutty in flavor. The freshness of the gunpowder inspired me to think of mint – so I added some spearmint & then I added the cantaloupe.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with it, but it turned out so tasty! It’s organic, vegan, gluten-free & allergy-friendly.
organic ingredients: green tea, spearmint, cantaloupe & natural flavors
to brew: shake the pouch well before measuring. Use 3g of tea to 12oz of very hot water (heated to 175°F) & steep for 2 minutes. Strain & allow to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!
serving suggestion: this tea is fantastic hot or iced (try cold-brewing, you won’t regret it!) It’s also good with sweetener – or without! The sweetening tends to bring the melon notes into focus & the flavor is remarkably smooth. Without sweetener, the mint is sharper. It’s a crisp & revitalizing drink.
This is a perfect tea to have on hand as the weather gets warmer – it makes a very refreshing iced tea! While quite delicious served as a hot beverage, I recommend cold-brewing – it’s so good!
