I wanted to call this tea Christmas Vacation – because dragonfruit only grows in tropical climates and wouldn’t it be fun to be somewhere exotic for the holidays – but my favorite holiday movie is Christmas Vacation and they don’t go to the tropics, so Holly Jolly it is. Dragonfruit is such a refreshing tea blend, but we give it some body and tie it into the festive season with some pomegranate. If you like green tea, you’ll love this one – and if you’re new to green tea, this is a great introduction.
This is one of the blends I strongly recommend “keeping it clean” – e.g. don’t add any sweetner, milk, etc. to it until you’ve tried it plain first. You can always add stuff in, but you can’t take it out.

Adventageddon Day 20 – Tea 2/4
Cold Brew!
Y’know, a festively named dragonfruit tea was not on my Adventageddon bingo card this year but I love the idea of it! Plus, the cheerful and lightly sweet tropical flavour really does pop against some of the more traditional or decadent flavours that are so prevalent in these countdowns. And the blush pink colour it brewed up was so dreamy looking.
It’s honestly a pretty mild flavour, but that tracks for something with a dragonfruit inspiration. I feel like a lot of “commercial” dragonfruit flavoured teas are more fruit punch like in taste, but real dragonfruit is very light and floral. That comes across here, even though there’s still some gentle but generic tropical vibes happening. A little kiwi, a little red fruit, and just a bit of the lemongrass. It’s a very “base forward” blend too – I taste the white and green teas as much as any of the other flavours I’ve listed.
I think it’s a super cool inclusion in an advent since it’s so wildly different from anything else that’s appeared, but I don’t know if I’d personally want more of it. I definitely have dragonfruit teas I prefer to this one, even though it’s definitely got many nice qualities.
