I crafted this Oolong blend on the request of one of our VIPs – 52Teas Royalty, in fact! She had mentioned to me that she liked the flavors of grapefruit and ginger together and then she told me a funny story about how she used to eat her Grapefruit Ginger Sugar Scrub – and that she actually would crave the stuff! Now, before you start thinking “eww, gross!” The sugar scrub was crafted with all natural, edible ingredients like sugar, coconut and grapeseed oil (as well as some other oils), aloe, grapefruit, ginger and white tea extract.
But rather than munching on a beauty product meant for the skin, she asked me if I could create a tea that was similar. Instead of white tea, we decided to go with a Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong and I added dried grapefruit sections, organic ginger root, organic crystallized (sugared) ginger and organic natural flavors.
The result is delightful!
ingredients: oolong tea, dried grapefruit segments, organic ginger root, organic crystallized (sugared) ginger and organic natural flavors.
