Apricot Fruit Tea

thank you so much Shelly_Lorraine for sending a few samples on over to try! I was happy to help organize your cupboard a bit. :D This was the first to try! I really liked this one. Lovely flower petals in the blend with at least one chunk of apricot. It has a nice smooth black base with a tasty apricot flavor. I’d agree with Shelly_Lorraine’s tasting note: it does remind me of those peach ring candies (that I think I had once a WHILE ago) but definitely not in a bad way! I also wouldn’t have noticed that those candies have an apricot flavor but maybe this tea also has a peach flavor to it. Definite apricot flavor and not in an artificial way. There was something nice about this cup — I would call it creamy but that would be odd with the apricot. I’d just call it smooth, I suppose. I liked being able to try this one as my sample is now GONE. I’ll kind of miss it!

Thanks BrewTEAlly Sweet! Mmm this one is so sweet. The apricot is very present and very nice. Nothing artificial. It’s almost like an apricot jam. It would make a lovely iced tea.

My last tea sample for the night, again from BrewTEAlly Sweet

Of course, as is my custom when trying more than one sample in a row, I only brewed a few ounces ;)

This one certainly has more flavor than the Pomegranate tea that I just logged. It is mildly reminiscent of the Disney Mad Hatter Tea Party tea that I got from Rie recently as it too is reminding me of peach gummy rings, though not as potently as the Mad Hatter tea. Those gummy rings must have apricot in them too.
