There’s an old Turkish saying: “The only thing better than this is an apricot in Damascus,” meaning that something is as good as it gets. As you sip on this sweet, delicate apricot blend, we hope you reflect on your life in a similar way.

Another from the package Nicole sent me. This comes in your standard silver packet with a nice label on the front. I was excited to try it, but knew that I was in trouble when the scent from the dry leaf hit me. It had a serious artificial fruit aroma to it, overlaid with something perfume-floral, which may have been the osmanthus. Full disclosure, I love osmanthus in oolongs, and I love apricot in general. I did not love this. Despite my reservations, I decided to give this a go anyway. When it first hit my tongue, I thought I was going to be okay. Then the aftertaste kicked in – bitter black with an artificial fruit tang that coated my mouth in a weird film. No desirable mouthfeel to this whatsoever. I was disappointed, since there were chunks of what looked like real apricot/mango in the blend, but it was definitely overpowered by whatever flavorings the company used. I tried another sip to be sure before I dumped the whole thing down the sink and frantically grabbed up one of my oolongs instead.
Flavors: Artificial, Bitter, Floral, Mango, Osmanthus
That’s too bad. I haven’t tried any of their blends. They gave me this one as a little thank you for the tea festival. It didn’t sound like it was going to be my thing. Sad to hear it did not find a home, but kudos to you for trying despite your misgivings. :)
I’ll have to pass it along next time I do a swap or some such and see if it tickles anyone’s fancy. Could very easily just be me. Regardless, thank you for sending it my way.
